FDI , financial constraint and partial ownership
This study uses matched firm‐bank‐FDI data from 1989 to 2016 to explore how a firm's financial constraints affect its foreign affiliate ownership structure choice. Importantly, it tests the hypothesis that parent firms with banks as their largest shareholders hold lower ownership shares in their foreign subsidiaries, in part due to typical bank risk‐averse behaviour. The empirical analysis confirms that foreign subsidiary ownership ratios are neg…
Why do people oppose foreign acquisitions? Evidence from Japanese individual-level data
This study empirically examines the determinants of individuals’ attitudes about inward foreign direct investment (FDI) using responses from questionnaire surveys that were originally designed. Individuals’ preferences for inward FDI differ between greenfield investments and mergers and acquisitions (M&A), and people are more likely to have a negative attitude toward M&A than greenfield investments. People with a negative image of the so-called “…
FDI, ownership structure, and productivity
The standard firm heterogeneity model of FDI considers the case of whole ownership of foreign affiliates. However, there exist many partially-owned foreign affiliates. This paper builds a model based on Helpman et al. (2004) to allow various ownership structures and posits some testable hypotheses on the relationship between productivity and ownership shares/structures. The empirical part corroborates these hypotheses, showing that high productiv…

Recovery of the Supply Chain after the 2011 Mega-quake in Japan
The 2011 mega-quake in East Japan seriously affected Japanese manufacturers in the Tohoku region. Disaster-hit firms shutdown their operation for a long period after the quake. This article examines what factors prolonged the recovery of plants, using Research Institute for Economy, Trade and Industry’s (RIETI) survey of affected plants in the Tohoku area. Our study reveals that not only the loss of infrastructure, such as, electricity, water and…
Productivity Heterogeneity and Internationalization
This paper examines whether the rank of Japanese firms’ (using 12,504 firm level dataset) productivity sorts the modes of their internationalization and how firms’ productivity affects their choice of export and FDI to destinations with similar income level. The empirical results in the paper demonstrate that the mode of firm’s internationalization in selected regions shifts from non- internationalization to export, and from export to FDI as the …
