分析日本在泰国汽车工业的外国直接投资

本文的目的是分析日本在泰国的汽车工业的外国直接投资。本文首先简述了泰国汽车工业的历史是如何开始的，并且成为东盟市场和日本市场最重要的汽车生产国和出口国之一。

泰国汽车工业拥有强劲的国内市场和国际市场来支持。加入东盟(东南亚国家联盟)之后，车辆出口急剧增加。东盟国家之间的自由贸易对汽车和汽车零部件消除了关税税率。与日本之间的自由贸易不像东盟市场那样大大增加了汽车的出口，但泰日经济合作伙伴协议和全面经济合作协定使泰国汽车行业降低了生产成本,提高了竞争力。我们已经发现,外国直接投资可以通过技术转让来提高生产率。

第一章:引言

泰国这样的发展中国家将出口作为国家发展的引擎，出口占GDP增长超过了三分之二 (泰国经济,维基百科- 2010)。

Analysis Of Japanese FDI In Thai Automotive Industry

The objective of this paper is to analyze Japanese FDI in Thai automotive industry. The paper starts with brief history of how Thai automotive industry started and become one of the most important automotive producer and exporter in ASEAN market and Japanese market.

Thai automotive industry has strong domestic market and international markets that support the industry. Export of vehicles has increased dramatically after the joining of ASEAN (Association of South-East Asia Nations). Free trade between ASEAN nations eliminates tariff rate on automobiles and some of automotive parts. Free trade between Japan does not increase export of vehicles dramatically like ASEAN markets but JTEPA and AJCEP lower production cost and improved competitiveness in Thai automotive industry. We have found out that FDI can increase productivity through technological transfer.

Chapter 1: Introduction

Developing countries like Thailand, we rely export as an engine of growth for the country with export accounts more than two thirds of GDP growth (Economy of Thailand, Wikipedia-2010). The main industry in Thailand is automobiles and automotive parts with the size of 11% in total industry (Economy of Thailand, Wikipedia-2010). Not just the largest size that automobiles and automotive parts industry has better than other industries but Thailand has a strong automotive industry as well. In 2010 automobiles and automotive parts has grown more than 63% (Thai Automotive Industry Association). With more than 1.6 million cars are produced in this year and this figure rank Thailand as 13th in the automobile production country in the world (Thai Automotive Industry Association) Experts in automotive industry predicts that in 5 years Thailand will be rank top 10 in automobile production. However the automobile and automotive parts are not able to grow this fast if the industry does not have Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) from overseas. We all know from Economics text book that FDI can increase production through A and K which stands for technology and capital.

Y= A f(K,L)

Caves (1974) suggested that there are 2 productivity effects from FDI. First effect is called direct technology transfer and second effect is called competitive pressure. He also argued that FDI improve host country productivity through technology transfer can occur when there is economic contact between foreign and local firms. Empirical evidence for increase in productivity due to FDI will be discussed further in Literature Review section. In this paper I will be concentrate on Japanese automotive brands since Japanese automotive brands dominates the market with market share of more than 91%. Figure 1 shows share of market in automotive brands in year 2009 and 2010. This market share is calculated by using only sales figures of passenger cars. In the automotive industry, there are 2 main types of vehicles ar本论文由英语论文网提供整理，提供论文代写，英语论文代写，代写论文，代写英语论文，代写留学生论文，代写英文论文，留学生论文代写相关核心关键词搜索。
