Foreign Direct Investment, especially in the Asia Pacific region, has grown increasingly in recent years. Taiwanese companies already have a long history of overseas investment across Asia. Previous research has focused primarily on short-term abnormal return tests rather than on performance after investments have been made. In this article, we prolong the research period and add some financial indexes in order to measure the different aspects of investment declaration and performance on stockholder wealth. We also go through how investors buy and hold these companies’ stock returns in the long run.
The sample was collected from Jan. 1, 1996 to Dec. 31, 2005. It includes 45 companies approved to invest in Asia. In order to make sure that long-term financial indexes could be used completely, the short run stock price collection needed to be recorded before Dec. 31, 2000. The long-term standard is right after the date which investment was approved. The empirical model used in the short-term analysis is an event study. Therefore, yearly dummy variables were added to the original regression model to determine whether time effects influenced performance.
According to the empirical results, FDI in Asia has negative abnormal effects in the short run; while FDI events have non-significant positive affect on direct investment profits. In terms of investor returns, holding company FDI stock in Asia has a negative relationship with long-term accumulative yearly returns and time effects, but moves concurrently with the stock market.
