Foreign investment impact and incentive: a strategic approach to the relationship between the objectives of foreign investment policy and their promotion

Sung-Hoon Lim

International Business Review, 2005, vol. 14, issue 1, 61-76

Abstract: This paper offers hypotheses and tests empirically the relationship between the objectives of foreign direct investment (FDI) policy and it results (i.e. the various types of impact of FDI and investment incentives) within a strategic fit concept. In the process, this paper demonstrates a strong correlation between specific objectives and particular incentives. Specifically, it points to a strong correlation between, on the one hand, the advancement of industrial structure and fiscal incentives and on the other, between regional expansion/development and financial incentives. The results point out how a host government should establish a coherent investment incentive system matching specific objectives of FDI policy.
