中文摘要

和大多數探討海外直接投資(Foreign Direct Investment; FDI)的實證文獻不同，本文透過淨最小平方法（Partial Least Squares；簡稱PLS）路徑分析之整合模型的建構，包含地主國及母國不同的角度，來研究影響台商赴中國進行海外直接投資的因素。同時，文中亦輔以另一種客觀分析－多準則決策方法進行探討。根據1998-2007年台灣半導體(Integrated Circuit; IC)廠商的資料進行實證分析後發現，母國的投資上限的確會影響廠商赴中國進行FDI，然而，廠商本身的特定因素才是最大的影響因素。
英文摘要

In contrast to most of the existing empirical foreign direct investment (FDI) study on the host country, this paper proposes an integrated model, which includes the determinants not only for the host country, but also for the parent country. A hybrid of object technique-partial least squares (PLS) path model, and a subject technique-multiple criteria decision-making (MCDM) approach, are utilized to investigate the outward FDI of Taiwan in China. Using data of Taiwan's IC firms between 1998 and 2007 resulted by the two approaches, evidences have been found to support the argument that the upper limit regulation of Taiwan's government does affect firms' decisions in making FDI in China, Although the firm-specific determinants dominate the effects.
