Does state ownership facilitate outward FDI of Chinese SOEs? Institutional development, market competition, and the logic of interdependence between governments and SOEs
文摘
Drawing on resource dependence theory, this study reveals the dark-side effects of state ownership on manufacturing SOEs’ OFDI from EE. A high percentage of state-owned shares is negatively associated to EE manufacturing SOEs’ OFDI. Relative to local manufacturing SOEs, central manufacturing SOEs in EE are less likely to engage in OFDI. Institutional development and market competition weaken the negative relationship between the percentage of state-owned shares and SOEs’ OFDI, in both independent and joint patterns.
