The Effects of Industry-Specific FDI on Intra-Industry Trade Patterns

This paper focuses on the effects of industry-specific foreign direct investment on intra-industry trade patterns. In order to achieve the research objectives, the hypotheses that FDI impacts on intra-industry trade levels will be relatively small in the industries which have comparative advantage and relatively low export share are introduced in this study. And panel empirical analysis is performed for these two hypotheses. Results of the study implied that FDI in Korean industries should be concentrated on the comparative disadvantage and relatively high export share industries in the future. In addition, further studies are required to complement some limitations such as technical problems of intra-industry classification, controversy about the effect of FDI that may arise from this study.
