碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 企業管理學系碩博士班 === 98 === The major purpose of this study is to investigate the location choice determinants of Taiwanese enterprises’ investment in Mainland China. This study emphasis on the macroeconomics advantages of individual provinces among China and period is from 2001 to 2008. More specifically, this study utilizes the regression method to establish empirical models. In the macroeconomics factor model, we find that： 1. Factors of production：Labor wage is not significant on selecting location to Taiwanese enterprise. 2. Factors of market：The higher GDP and consumer price level in each province, the higher economic ability to buy goods, so Taiwanese enterprises have more willing to invest the places. 3. Factors of cluster：The direct investment of Taiwanese enterprises in each province has positive effect with total foreign direct investment. It proves that Taiwanese enterprises have clustered effect. 4. Factors of Infrastructure：The more density of road and rail increases the linking between the place of production and the market. So investing the places will save transportation cost. 5. Because Taiwanese enterprises receive different events and environment influences in different years, which affects the investment amount of Taiwanese enterprises obviously. 6. Coast of mainland china is not an important determinant, indicating Taiwanese enterprises invest western sites gradually.
