South Korea became a net‐provider of foreign direct investment in the late 1980s, and is now emerging as a major source of foreign direct investment in ASEAN and China. In general, the economic gains that the host country realizes from foreign direct investment are not a factor that the home country should take into account in deciding its policy on outward investment. The case of South Korea is, however, an exception to this general principle because of the possibility of the eventual unification of the two Koreas. Given that the unification cost borne by South Korea will decrease as the North Korean economy improves, the South Korean government should actively encourage South Korean investment in North Korea by offering appropriate incentives. The rationale for this policy is that the beneficial effect of investment on the North Korean economy is not a factor taken into account by private investors. Policy measures in this direction include the provision of a corrective subsidy for North Korea‐bound investment. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
