東亞國家外人直接投資之探討

A Study on Foreign Direct Investment in East Asian Countries

鑒於國際生產分工的移轉與投資活動的關係相當密切，從東亞國家FDI流入所呈現的變化軌道中，似乎可見在投資帶動貿易，以及外商將生產基地在地化等效應下，該地區在產業國際分工的位移。其中，從中國大陸的崛起，也觀察到過去國際分工型態似乎已出現轉變。本文旨在釐清FDI流入東亞地區後，該區域內的生產區位可能發生之轉變，而臺灣產業發展與東亞國際分工存有高度連結，期透過該區域生產基地發展變化，初步觀察對我國產業發展之影響，及探討可能之對策。

A close relationship can be detected between relocations in international division of labor and investment activity. It appears to be visible in investment-driven trade amid changes in East Asian countries’ FDI inflows, and in the relocation of international division of labor as foreign investors localize overseas production bases. One facet of this is the change that appears to have taken place in the pattern of international division of labor since mainland China’s rise. This study seeks to clarify possible changes of production location in East Asia following FDI inflows into the region. Also, in view of the high level of linkage between Taiwan’s industrial development and East Asian international division of labor, we make tentative observations on the potential impacts on Taiwan’s industrial development that may stem from changes in the region’s production bases, and explore possible policy measures to address these impacts.
