A Study on the Strategies of Foreign Investment Attraction by using FTAs in Daegu and Gyeongbuk

This paper aims to analyze the effects of the FTAs on the foreign direct investment(FDI) and U-turn investment from foreign countries and establish the effective FDI and U-tum investment attracting strategies in Daegu and Gyeongbuk. First, to achieve this aim, the effects of the FT As on FDI was considered theoretically by their effects on investment creation, investment diversion and U-tum investment. The FDI and U-tum investment attracting strategies were then formed under the circumstance of Korea signing multiple FTAs simultaneously and building up a global FTA network. According to these analyzed results, the investment creation effect is induced to overcome the trade diversion effect by the firms from FTA non-member countries. The investment diversion effect is induced to transfer existing investment to the more effective country within the FTA In addition, the FTAs allow Korean FDI firms in China to make U-tum investments in their home country. Therefore, local governments and authorities need to prepare comprehensive and effective investment attracting strategies to attract as many FDIs and U-turn investment firms as possible within their own regions and revive their local economies. In order to achieve this, nothing is more important than making their regions a good place for doing business.
