“…The search for resources is expressed i.e. by purchasing agricultural land -outsourcing of production and investment in agricultural land areas in foreign countries via large scale FDI (Hirsch et al, 2020), as well as location of FDI in oil-rich countries (Alfalih and Hadj, 2020) or mining sector (Vivoda, 2011).

“…The cross-border investment must be conducted in a sustainable way to reduce the negative externalities on the local community.

“…The convenience of the national transportation systems, such as airways (C16), roadways (C17), and waterways (C18), is needed to promote more foreign investment inflows [42]. However, the SFDI distribution might be impeded by the communication infrastructure (C12) [20]. The business sophistication (C9) and goods market efficiency (C11) do not encourage more capital inflows [37].…”

Assessing Sustainable Foreign Direct Investment Performance in Malaysia: A Comparison on Policy Makers and Investor Perceptions

2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Sustainable foreign direct investment (SFDI) contributes to the development of the economic, environmental, and social aspects in rational governance practices in Malaysia. Prior studies lack the integration and synthesis of the SFDI attributes from the policymakers and foreign investors’ perceptions. These attributes are measured through the qualitative information and subjective perceptions and need to transform into comparable values. The fuzzy Delphi method is applied to identify the valid set of SFDI attributes and confirms the validity and reliability of these attributes. Moreover, prior studies have not examined the importance and performance of those valid attributes in qualitative information. The fuzzy importance and performance analysis is proposed to assess the attributes’ importance and performance level. The results show that financial, macroeconomic, and institutional policy aspects are among the most important SFDI attributes, together with environmental and social aspects. This study identifies the discrepancies between policymakers and foreign investors and suggests that the financial aspect is the priority of foreign investors that needs to be concentrated for improvements; meanwhile, the institutional and policies and social aspects in performance level are presented as a big contradistinction. The theoretical and policy implications are discussed.

Using a country-level panel data set of China's outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) during 2003-2015, we find that China increases its direct investment in an economy endowed with natural resources, which increases the exports of the resources to China. Facilitated by the industry-level data between 2003 and 2008, we further show that the increase of China's OFDI in the economies abundant in natural resources would boost the output of Chinese industries which use the resources intensively but shrink the industries that are less intensive in the resources. These findings are consistent with the Rybczynski theorem and suggest that China's OFDI increases its domestic supply of natural resources.
