Abstract: This study examines direct investments of Taiwan firms in China (DIC) and firm performance consequences from industrial perspectives. It is found that a U-shaped relationship exists for electronic firms but an inverted-S-shaped relationship exists for non-electronic firms. The empirical results also reveal that electronic firms outperform non-electronic firms.
