The outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) is vital for the sustainable development of China’s banking sector. This paper examines the location determinants of OFDI by China’s banks during 2003–2015 with a set of negative binomial panel regression models. We show that the OFDI for China’s banking sector generally exhibits market-seeking, resource-seeking and efficiency-seeking motivations. The efficiency-seeking motivation is mostly through the incentive to avert credit risk. The OFDI also tends to flow to economically stable countries. Our results indicate that the Chinese banks’ investment decisions are mainly in line with fundamental theories and are robust for different samples and periods.

The study investigates a simultaneous act of country-level determinants and firm-level heterogeneity on location distribution of the new wave of outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) from India. Indian firms are nested within host countries. Therefore, the current study employs mixed multilevel linear regression model to analyse multilevel and longitudinal data. Using firm-to-destination data, the study finds that location distribution of Indian multinationals is simultaneously driven by firm-level heterogeneity and country-level determinants. The study shows that location determinants of the recent wave of OFDI of Indian firms are significantly different from the past wave.
