研究実績の概要 |
We investigate the relationship between bank FDI and manufacturing firm FDI using a detailed firm-level dataset on outbound multinational activity from China that was contemporaneous with the global expansion of China's Big-5 banks. Adopting an event study approach that exploits information on years of entry across potential host countries, we find that the establishment of a Big-5 bank subsidiary or branch is associated with a significant increase in subsequent years in Chinese firms'likelihood to establish an overseas subsidiary in that host country. We present tests - including an instrumental variables strategy - that build a case that the relationship from China's bank FDI to firm FDI is causal in nature.
