Country-specific determinants of cross-border mergers and acquisitions: A comprehensive review and future research directions

What are the main tenets associated with foreign direct investment (FDI)? What research has been performed in the area of FDI to date? Which direction should research in this field proceed in the days to come? As there is no article with comprehensive coverage of all the studies on FDI, we review empirical research in this area between the years 1970 and 2014 as an attempt to answer these questions We identify the advances and analytical areas of FDI research, list out the impactful research papers and authors, theoretical and methodological approaches, leading journals and variables of interest that exist in the area of FDI research As the research into the FDI has advanced significantly over the last two decades, we have also tried to point out the gaps in the literature Taken together, our paper highlights the heterogeneous nature of FDI across countries and firms

Extending Dunning's Investment Development Path: The role of home country institutional determinants in explaining outward foreign direct investment

It is widely argued that good governance is an important determinant of foreign direct investment (FDI). With the exception of studies of corruption, however, empirical research on the link between governance and FDI is limited, particularly in the context of Latin America. Moreover, recent studies by Bellos and Subasat (2012a and 2012b) suggest that poor governance is a source of attraction rather than a hurdle for multinational companies in selected transition countries. By employing a panel data gravity model, this article aims to verify these unusual and interesting results in the context of selected Latin American countries. Our results confirm that the FDI enhancement role of poor governance exists not only in the transition countries but also in Latin America.

Governance and foreign direct investment in latin america: a panel gravity model approach

While India is an increasingly attractive destination for foreign capital, the country is also becoming a significant source of outflows. Many Indian enterprises view outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) as an important dimension of their corporate strategies. This paper presents some data on the magnitude and composition of Indian OFDI. It also discusses the rationale for and empirical determinants of overseas acquisitions by Indian companies. The empirical findings suggest that OFDI from India is not entirely different from that of other countries in that they are motivated by many common factors. There is evidence, however, that Indian OFDI is more market- and resource-seeking than OFDI from most other countries. The paper concludes with a broader discussion of the impact of the global rise of Indian companies on the Indian economy.

India as a Source of Outward Foreign Direct Investment

This paper investigates sources and determinants of foreign direct investment (FDI) flows to developing Asia using bilateral FDI flows for the period 1990–2005. The Triad (composed of Japan, EU, and the US) has accounted for about 35–40% of FDI inflows to developing Asia in recent years, with Japan being the single largest investor. Intra-developing Asian flows have also accounted for about 35% of total inflows to the region, and these shares have remained fairly stable for the period 1997–2004. With regard to the determinants of FDI flows, the paper finds that an augmented gravity model fits the data fairly well. We pay particular attention to possible differences in the determinants of FDI flows to developing Asian economies from the rest of the Asia and Pacific region, compared to those from nonregional OECD economies, with an emphasis on the roles of distance and time zone differences. To preview the main conclusion, we find that the elasticity of distance is greater for FDI from the non-Asia Pacific OECD economies than intraregional Asian flows. However, this difference disappears when one accounts for differences in time zones. JEL Classification: F21, F23, F36 ADBI Working Paper 117 Hattari and Rajan

Sources of FDI flows to developing Asia: The roles of distance and time zones

A large part of the upsurge in global Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) until the global financial crisis of 2008–2009 has been due to mergers and acquisitions (M&As) as opposed to Greenfield FDI. Also, noteworthy is the growing significance of developing Asia in these cross-border M&As, both as sources of finance as well as destinations of investments. These cross-border M&A flows have deepened the economic integration of developing Asia with the global economy. This paper examines the extent and determinants of M&As to and from developing Asia over the period 2000–2010 with particular emphasis on the financial drivers of intraregional M&As. Global liquidity and risk conditions, as proxied by London Inter Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR), consistently show up as being an important driver of intraregional flows.
