| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 經營管理研究所 === 96 === This thesis studies the impulse of foreign direct investment (FDI) to unemployment rate and export in Taiwan. The research period is from Jan 1993 to May 2007, including 173 monthly observations. Following the unit root test and data differencing adjustment, this paper applies the Granger Causality test and VAR model to examine the relationship of FDI and domestic unemployment rate. The GDP deflator is used to transform all nominal variables into the real variables in the 2001 price level.
Our major findings are as follows: 1. When the inward FDI increases, the domestic unemployment rate will descend in the short-term. 2. When the outward FDI (either to China or to other areas) increases, the domestic unemployment rate will rise up in the short-term. 3. When the exports increase, unemployment rate will descend in the short-term. 4. There is no evidence that outward FDI in China can significantly induce more export from Taiwan to China in the short-term.
