碩士 / 國立高雄大學 / 經濟管理研究所 / 96 / The FDI increased rapidly since the 1980s. In addition, inward FDI and outward FDI in developing countries have increased dramatically. The impacts of FDI on economic growth have attracted considerable academic attentions. However, literatures obtain mixed conclusions. This study proposes that one of possible explanations might be that the contributions of FDI on economic growth may vary with levels of corruption. The empirical results, based on the cross-country panel from 1998 to 2006, indicate that a country can obtain larger (smaller) contribution of inward (outward) FDI on growth associated with less corruption, supporting our argument. Furthermore, outward FDI may not result in the hollowing-out or the de-industrialization effect. The results also suggest that attracting inward FDI to promote growth may not be a good policy for a developing country associated with serious corruption.
