碩士 === 國立臺北大學 === 經濟學系 === 97 === There are a number of theories researching for why FDI into a host country would depend on their proximate countries, but such spatial interdependence has been ignored by the empirical FDI thesis in the past. I will use the concept of spatial autoregressive relationships into the Taiwanese enterprises FDI in ten countries of Asia during 1991 to 2006 with the factors of GDP、population、import and export、disposable income、distance to taiwan、wage、language、market power. We find that traditional determinants of FDI are surprisingly robust to the inclusion of capturing spatial interdependence,even though such interdependence is estimated significantly. Taiwanese enterprises which FDI in Asia countries have the spill effect over proximate countries; investing the four advanced countries in Asia have the substitute effect for proximate countries, and the method of investment tend to the expansive FDI; investing the six backward countries of Asia have the spill effect, and the method of investment tend to the defensive FDI.
