| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research analyzes the effects of the formation of bilateral free trade agreement (FTA hereafter) on the investment of multinational firms whose origin is from outside the FTA regions. In particular, this study empirically verifies how bilateral free trade agreement signed by EU and Korea in 2011 affects Japanese firms' investment in EU, by looking at the decision-making of Japanese affiliates that have already operated inside EU.
|
| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
This study takes a novel approach by verifying FTA's impact on investors from outside the region. When examining how FTA affects FDI patterns of Japanese affiliates, it makes use of the industrial competition from Korean counterparts, to mitigate the potential estimation bias.
