Industry stucture, performance and foreign direct investment: The case of Korea. An empirical study of the impact of foreign direct investment on manufacturing performance in the Republic of Korea.Cope, Michael A. January 1990 (has links)
The objective of this thesis is to investigate the
influence and. impact of foreign direct investment
inflow into the Republic of Korea. It is also an
investigation of the development of the Korean
economy.
The research investigates the relationship between
foreign direct investment and the development of the
Korean economy by examining both the macro and micro
aspects of the relationship between the two. This
involves considering the performance of the Korean
economy as a whole and then taking a more detailed
approach by treating the analysis of the relationship
at the level of individual industrial sectors. It also
involves investigating the role played by the Korean
government in the development of the economy and the
control of foreign direct investment inflow.
The analysis uses a two stage approach, first by taking
an exploratory correlation analysis of the interaction
between the inflow and a series of key variables, which
allows a number of tentative conclusions to be drawn.
By using these conclusions in conjunction with the
literature survey we were able to analyse the nature
and impact of foreign direct investment in Korea using
regression analysis.
The analysis revealed that except for isolated
instances, the influence of the inflow of foreign
direct investment at either the macro-or micro level is
long-term. The positive effect of the inflow appears
to be strongest on Gross National Product and Gross
Domestic Product and on exports rather than imports.
The results from the principal industrial sectors
suggest that greatest impact was when the inflow was
associated with larger firms. Furthermore the results
suggest that the country of origin of the investment
may well have an influence. In addition the research
highlights the importance of the role played by the
Korean government.
