摘要
The trend of foreign direct investment(FDI)in China has switched from inflow to outflow following the rapid economic growth dur-ing the past several decades.Stimulated by government policies,in recent years China’s firms have actively sought overseas invest-ment opportunities.This paper examines the relationship between economic policy uncertainty(EPU)and cross-border cap-ital flow decisions for listed firms in China.Our findings demon-strate that EPU originating from China does not seem to dissuade FDI inflow into China,but it does curtail FDI outflow from the country.It appears that government policies and the uncertainty the policies bring are deterministic for FDI.
