Abstract: Various studies studied outward foreign direct investment (FDI) from the host country perspective but pay little attention on the parent country determinant. Does the outward FDI policy (investment upper limit regulation) matter? In this paper, we for the first time propose a combined partial least squares (PLS) path model and multiple criteria decision-making (MCDM) approach to study Taiwan¡¦s outward FDI to China. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the determinants on Taiwanese firms¡¦ decisions in making FDI into China. Using data of the optoelectronics firms between 1998 and 2007, the results of the proposed model both show that the outward FDI policy of the parent country is the key factor on Taiwan¡¦s outward FDI into China. Besides, it is also found that the macroeconomic environment of host country determinant has much stronger effects than does the parent country on Taiwan¡¦s outward FDI into China.
Keywords: Foreign direct investment (FDI), Partial least squares (PLS), Multiple criteria decision-making (MCDM), Parent country, upper Limit regulation
