[摘要] :
Foreign direct investment (FDI) has become highly popular in recent decades. This study investigates
how FDI by Taiwanese firms affects downside risk by considering the fact that FDI
firms increase both the revenue and risk in their expedition. The results indicate that downside
risk is positively associated with FDI. Further analyses show that downside risks do not change
for FDI in Mainland China but increases in other areas. The FDIs in areas other than Mainland
China are primarily in tax haven countries and are positively related to agency cost and earnings
management, increasing the downside risk. In addition, this study provides evidence that corporate
governance reduces downside risk by restricting FDI to less opaque markets.
