Uncertainty, FDI and firm adjustment

目前的研究主要分析目的地市场宏观经济不确定性如何影响外商直接投资（以下简称FDI），并探讨了跨国公司在华投资的可能机制（以下简称MNE）调整。在过去的10年里，我花了大部分时间在数据清理和母公司和子公司数据的匹配上。同时，我还挖掘了现有的文献，并试图缩小研究问题，我想出了几个研究课题，从中国的最低工资政策变化到日本的汇回税变化，我参加了几个研讨会，与其他人进一步交流想法。同事

The current research mainly analyzes how macroeconomic uncertainty in the destination market affects foreign direct investment (FDI hereafter),and explores the possible mechanism of multinational enterprises' (MNEs hereafter) adjustment.In the past calender year, I spent most of the time on data cleaning and matching of both parent- and affiliate- firm level data.In the meantime, I also digged into the existing literature and made an attempt to narrow down the research questions, I came up with several research topics, ranging from the policy change of minimum wage in China to repatriation tax change in Japan.I attended several workshops to further exchange the ideas with the other colleagues.
