Abstract |
This research explores the dynamic impact of international business on Taiwan’s economic growth. We consider three indicators: inward and outward foreign direct investment (FDI) and the total value of exports and imports. By applying a nonlinear autoregressive distributed-lag (NARDL) model, the findings prove that long- and short-term cointegrations are asymmetric with a greater effect dominated by decreasing change. Our empirical results contribute new insights on the relationships among FDI, international trade, and economic growth. |
