South–South FDI and Development in East Asia. Asian Development Review, Vol. 28(2), pp. 11-31
Lipsey, Robert E.; Sjöholm, Fredrik | August 2011
Abstract
This paper attempts to measure the size of South–South foreign direct
investment (FDI) in developing East Asia and the trends in it, the
characteristics of the investing countries, and the investments themselves. It
also summarizes the findings of studies in individual countries of the effects
of these investments. The studies of individual countries will be used to try to
find some consensus on differences between South–South FDI and North–
South FDI. Among the comparisons of the two types of FDI summarized are
findings about their industrial composition; their effects on their host
countries and their host-country firms’ productivity, wages, and employment;
and how these differ across industries.
