However, as the country continues to take various preferential policies to promote foreign investment and the good momentum of Albania's economic development, FDI increases, While there are considerable theoretical treatments of the FDl-export linkage, relevant empirical analyses have been limited. This paper attempts to close the gap by investigating the issue with the Albanian data. The estimates indicate that FDI indeed has had a positive impact on Albanian export performance. The findings provide rich source of information to policy makers, researchers, and the management of both foreign and domestic owned firms. From this point of view, the study aims to make an empirical research how the FDI has influenced the trade growth of the country. Based on the theory of FDI, this paper through an FDI and foreign trade model tests the correlation between two of them and effect of FDI in Albania's international trade with data from 1996-2014. The results of the study showed that there is a positive relation between FDI and exports in Albania.展开更多

This paper seeks to identify the reasons behind such a stellar performance by conducting an empirical study on the top 500 Taiwan Residents businesses in the database. The results suggest that: (1) the larger the investment into China, the better the business performances; (2) the higher the ownership by Taiwan Residents firms for the outward investments to China, the better the business performances; (3) compared to investments in IT, technology and machinery, the outward investments from Taiwan to China achieve better returns in commodity, energy, and mining; (4) compared to investments in Eastern, Central, and Western China, the investments in Chinese municipalities generate better returns.展开更多
