Ellis Fausten, Dietrich Dietrich Fausten Strategic FDI and Industrial Ownership Structure Monash University 2017 Keiretsu 1959.1/2191 monash:2191 FDI 2001 Networks 2017-06-05 03:23:02 Journal contribution https://bridges.monash.edu/articles/journal_contribution/Strategic_FDI_and_Industrial_Ownership_Structure/5072932 We argue that different industrial ownership structures generate different incentives for firms to engage in FDI. We compare (partially) cooperative structures such as the Japanese kieretsu and Korean chaebol systems, with competitive structures such as US firms. We find significant differences in the probability of initial FDI and the lag between initial entry and subsequent investments. This has further implications for the optimal FDI incentives of potential host countries.
