Understanding Foreign Direct Investment in East Asia
Thorbecke, Willem; Salike, Nimesh - East Asian Bureau of Economic Research (EABER) - 2011
We recount East Asia’s experience with foreign direct investment (FDI). We document that, contrary to the Rybczynski theorem, capital flows in the region cause the host country’s labor-intensive industry to expand and its capital-intensive industry to decline. We also present...

India-Japan Investment Relations : Trends and Prospects
Nataraj, Geethanjali - East Asian Bureau of Economic Research (EABER) - 2010
Though Japan had been one of the top five investors in India for long, its share in Indias total FDI inflows has been dwindling since 2000. Other countries have surpassed Japan in terms of their investment and market share in the Indian economy. In this context, this study attempts to analyse...

SINGAPORE’S DIRECT INVESTMENT IN SRI LANKA : PAST EXPERIENCE AND FUTURE PROSPECTS
Abeysinghe, Tilak; Jayawickrama, Ananda - East Asian Bureau of Economic Research (EABER) - 2008
Apart from aggregate accounting of Singapores investment abroad, case studies on the performance of these investments in individual countries hardly exist. This paper is an attempt to compile such a study by focusing on Singapores investment in Sri Lanka. Singapore is one of the largest foreign...
