很多對外投資的理論闡述了被投資國會受其周遭國家的影響,而這些空間上的相依性卻在以往的文獻中被忽略。 本研究即利用空間上具有自我相關的概念,探討台商在1991-2006年投資亞洲十個國家間,國民生產毛額、人口總數、貿易總量、可支配所得、距離、工資、語言、市場潛力等因素在考慮空間上的相依性後對於解釋台商投資亞洲十國的影響。 研究結果顯示,模型在加入空間自我相關概念後,不僅空間變數本身是具有顯著性的,表示空間上具有相依性,對於其他解釋變數的顯著性也有提升的作用。台商在亞洲十個國家間,投資具有外溢效果,會增加鄰近國家的投資;台商投資較先進的四國間,彼此具有替代效果,會減少投資其他國家,投資模式較偏向擴張型對外投資;台商投資較落後的六國間,彼此具有外溢效果,投資模式較偏向防禦型對外投資。
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.
