| Summary: | 碩士 === 淡江大學 === 中國大陸研究所碩士班 === 93 === The article mainly discusses host countries’ location factors that influence Korean businessmen’s foreign direct investment in Mainland China by using statistic data. The article has three major purposes. The first purpose is to make an analysis of the investment environment in China. The second purpose is also to analyze the trait and trend of Korean businessmen’s direct investment in China. At last, the third purpose is to delve into the Location factors that influence Korean businessmen’s investment in China.
We set the Korean businessmen’s FDI in China to be the dependent variable and the location factors from many aspects of host countries to be the independent variables of the model’s setting. The research period is divided into two parts. The first part is from 1993 to 1996, and the other is from 2001 to 2004. We use a cross section and time series data technique to analyze the model. Besides, we use multiple regression analysis to examine the relationship between independent and dependent variable.
Based on the consequence run by regressing model, we find that a positive coefficient Market Size, Developing Area, Infrastructure, High Quality Manpower variables are the same as our prediction. Wage variablehas a negative sign that is the same as our prediction. But, Wage, Developing Area, Infrastructure variables are significant from 1993 to 1996.However, they are insignificant from 2001 to 2004. Market Size variable is insignificant from 1993 to 1996, but insignificant from 2001 to 2004.
That is to say, after 2000, Korean businessmen’s location factors of direct investment in China start to emphasize local Market Size. However, Wage,
Developing Area, and Infrastructure variables which have been emphasized by Korean businessmen’s investment from 1993 to 1996 less influence their location factors after 2000.
