Public ISBD [article]  inTransnational Corporations > TRANSCORP 21/1 [28/08/2015] . - p. 1-34 Titre : Locational determinants of outward foreign direct Investment : an analysis of Chinese and Indian greenfield investments Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Filip De Beule, Auteur Année de publication : 2015 Article en page(s) : p. 1-34 Langues : Anglais (eng) Tags : IDE  Science économique  Chine  Inde Résumé : Few scholars have contributed more to our understanding of the locational factors that influence the choices made by TNCs than John Dunning. According to him, the astonishing growth of the Chinese economy and the opening up of India to the demands of the global market place “are reconfiguring the spatial landscape of economic activity”. The present study examines the importance of country-level factors on the investment location choice of Chinese and Indian transnational corporations (TNCs). Instead of using macro-economic FDI flows or stocks -- as most other studies have done -- this study will analyse greenfield investment data of Chinese and Indian firms across the globe. While most former studies have used FDI data to measure the aggregate value-adding activity of transnational affiliates in host countries, recent research has shown that the use of FDI data is a biased measure of such investment activity. This research attempts to overcome those shortcomings by analysing FDI at the firm level.
