China's outward foreign direct investment: location choice and firm ownership

Bala Ramasamy, Matthew Yeung, Sylvie Laforet

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article

Abstract

This article evaluates the international location decisions made by public listed Chinese firms during the period 2006–2008, using a Poisson count data regression model. Further, we categorize the firms into state-controlled and privately owned according to majority ownership. We find that the determinants of internationalization differ based on ownership. State-controlled firms are attracted to countries with large sources of natural resources and risky political environments.
