Corporate Governance and Foreign Direct Investment
Alba, Joseph D.; Park, Donghyun; Wang, Peiming | May 2010
Abstract
Joseph D. Alba, Donghyun Park, and Peiming Wang use firm-level evidence from Japanese foreign direct investment (FDI) into the United States (US) to investigate the effect of US corporate governance on merger and acquisition (M&A) and non-M&A Japanese FDI. The results indicate that stronger US corporate governance contributed to the decline in both M&A and non-M&A Japanese FDI into the US during the 1990s. The evidence thus suggests that corporate governance may affect both M&A and non-M&A FDI.
