Abstract
The purpose of this chapter is to explain the factors that contributed to the
expansion of inward foreign direct investment (FDI) in the Republic of
Korea and to describe the impacts of inward FDI on the competitiveness of
the country’s economy in recent years. A deeper analysis of this issue is critical in order to identify the economic effects of inward FDI for host
economies. This chapter hypothesizes that inward FDI has positive impacts
on host economies. From this perspective, governments of host economies
are encouraged to establish policies conducive to inward FDI.
