| Research Abstract |
This research investigates empirically the detailed mechanics of Japanese foreign direct investment (FDI). The findings are summarized as follows. The vertical type of FDIs is likely to go to low wage countries with low trade costs with Japan, like East Asian developing countries. Small- and medium-sized enterprises can also invest in low wage countries with the lower trade costs. On the other hand, the horizontal type of FDIs is likely to go to large market countries with high trade costs with Japan, like the U.S. Furthermore, the more productive multinationals invest in not only those countries but also low wage countries with the low trade costs with those countries.
