This thesis aims to explore the main determinants of FDI location choice of 959 Taiwanese manufacturing firms over the period of 2000-2010. By using the nested logit model that considers not only the host country characteristics but also the firm heterogeneity, we draw the following conclusions. Firstly, from the aspect of country characteristic, Taiwanese firms usually invest more in host countries which have relatively lager market potential size. Secondly, as for firm characteristic, relatively to invest in China, firm heterogeneity is indeed the major determinant of FDI location choice of Taiwanese firms.
Keywords: nested logit model; firm heterogeneity; location choice; FDI
