Extradition Treaties and Chinese Firms’ FDI Location Choice

Abstract:

We examine China’s international cooperation on extradition as influences on Chinese firms’ host country selection for foreign direct investment (FDI). Although interstate cooperation is traditionally viewed as reducing knowledge-based uncertainty and facilitating cross-border investments, we contend that high-level interstate cooperation creates a risk in the cross-influence of institutions, which gives rise to firms’ concerns about security and cost when investing abroad. We focus on bilateral extradition cooperation which links the legal institutions of two countries and extends the influence of domestic jurisdiction from home to abroad. We hence propose that Chinese firms that aim to escape from China’s underdeveloped institutions should be less likely to enter host countries that have established extradition treaties with China. This negative impact of extradition treaties on FDI entry propensity could be lesser for Chinese state-owned enterprises because they decline to escape from domestic institutions. But the firms that have violated regulations in home country should respond to extradition treaties to a greater degree. We obtain empirical support for our hypotheses from a firm-level analysis on Chinese listed firms and their outward FDI in 106 foreign countries during 2001–2013.
