Taking the opportunity of the many-fold increase in foreign direct investment flowing into China over the past two decades, Wei (international business, Lancaster U.) and Liu (business economics, Aston U., Britain) use the country as a case study to identify the determinants and impact of such investment. They present, analyze, and synthesize five empirical studies, suggesting that the insights might be useful for researchers studying investment and for policy makers in China and other transition economies.
