Overview
International conflicts, economic sanctions, geoeconomic fragmentation (decoupling), and economic security are becoming increasingly complex challenges that firms face when engaging in global economic activities. This research project investigates how firms respond to such challenges from several perspectives. Moreover, the government is implementing various measures to promote inward foreign direct investment (FDI) in Japan as well as efforts to support the overseas expansion of firms. Building on previous findings, further examination is required regarding the effects of inward and outward FDI on firms and the domestic economy as well as the effectiveness of these policies. This project aims to address these issues and provide policy recommendations based on analyses using micro data.
