ABSTRACT
This paper uses data envelopment analysis and seemingly unrelated regression estimation model to examine the association between the operating efficiency of Taiwanese FDI enterprises in mainland China and the investment performance of their parent companies. We find that the more capital-intensive Taiwanese FDI enterprises in mainland China have higher operating efficiencies. Enterprises investing in East China area have lower operating efficiency. In addition, higher operating efficiencies of FDI enterprises in mainland China are associated with higher investment performance of the Taiwanese parent companies. The Taiwanese parent companies with greater investment of FDI enterprises in mainland China also have higher investment performance. The Taiwanese parent companies with higher R & D expenditure percentages do not result in improved investment performance because of a lack of spillover to FDI subsidiaries or more uncertain factors. Furthermore, the wholly-owned investment type of a parent company has greater investment performance than joint-venture investment type.

Does Immigration Promote the Investment of the Monopolistic Firm?

In the present paper, we examine the effect of increasing uncertainty of immigrants’ growth on the optimal timing of investment of a firm that has a monopolistic power over the labor market. It is revealed that when the uncertainty of immigrants’ growth is more than a threshold level, increasing uncertainty of immigrants’ growth accelerates the optimal timing of firms’ investment and enhances the economic growth, even if the uncertainty of immigrants’ growth is formulated by the geometric Brownian motion, which is in sharp contrast to the standard result that an increase in the uncertainty postpones the optimal timing. With an increase in the immigrants over the past ten years, workforces in the host countries have been growing significantly to the extent that the immigrants represent 70% of the increase in the workforce in Europe, and 47% in the United States as OECD indicates. In the present paper, we attempted to investigate the effect of increased uncertainty caused by the growi...
