The Role of South–South FDI in the Economies of Developing Asia
Lipsey, Robert E.; Sjöholm, Fredrik | September 2011
Abstract
Robert E. Lipsey and Fredrik Sjöholm describe the size of South–South foreign direct investment (FDI) in developing East Asia and the trends in it, and the characteristics of the investing countries and the investments themselves. They summarize findings about industrial composition of FDI; effects on host countries; and effects on host-country firms’ productivity, wages, and employment. Their analysis shows that the increased presence of South FDI in East and Southeast Asia might have different effects on host economies from those of FDI from the North.
