Abstract

China has frequently been accused of having negative institutional impacts on host countries through outward foreign direct investment (OFDI). This study argues that Chinese OFDI does not have the ability nor the wiliness to impact the host country’s institutions. It examines the hypotheses using panel data covering 161 countries over the period 2005–2020 and applies difference GMM regression techniques. The findings show that, first, Chinese OFDI has no significant institutional effects; second, there is no clear evidence shows the BRI has an impact on the institutional effects of Chinese OFDI. Further heterogeneity analysis supports these findings.
