| Summary: | 碩士 === 逢甲大學 === 國際貿易所 === 98 === In recent years, the BRIC- Brazil, Russia, India and China, have grown very fast in economics, and other countries have invested more and more in these four countries. This study investigates how host countries characteristics affect Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflows of China, the country with the largest amount of inward FDI, and Russia, the country nearby China and with similar growth as China. We collect China’s and Russia’s FDI inflow and other host country characteristic data from 1997 to 2006 and 2000 to 2008 respectively. We adopt Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) and Random Effect model to analyze. The results show that export, exchange rate and Consumer Price Index (CPI) affect the inward FDI to China. In Russia, due to the successful democratic policy, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has increased obviously, and has promoted the inward FDI. Moreover, large imports, low interest rate and increasing population also attract large FDI inflow to Russia. We conclude that the different host country characteristics in China and Russia do cause different FDI inflow effect.
