Abstract
Extending Dunning's investment development path, this study examines the impact of human mobility, a neglected factor, on Chinese outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) using time-series analysis. Our findings show that the two-way mobility of highly skilled Chinese students and scholars significantly promotes Chinese outward FDI. In addition, Chinese outward FDI is also driven by domestic economic development, but substitutes exports. The findings have important policy and managerial implications.
► Two-way human mobility has become a key driver in promoting Chinese outward FDI. ► Chinese outward FDI is driven by domestic economic development. ► Chinese outward FDI substitutes exports.
