There is extensive literature on measures pertaining to attracting inward FDI. On the other hand, there is much less information on measures supporting outward FDI. Yet the question of supporting outward FDI is the new frontier of national FDI policy making. A telling example of this new trend is the fact that the question of home countries supporting their state-owned enterprises investing abroad is one of the issues being addressed in the negotiations of the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement. If you are interested in this subject and related questions, you may wish to look at: Karl P. Sauvant, Persephone Economou, Ksenia Gal, Shawn Lim, and Witold P. Wilinski, “Trends in FDI, home country measures and competitive neutrality”, in Andrea K. Bjorklund, ed., Yearbook on International Investment Law & Policy 2012-2013 (New York: Oxford University Press, 2014), ch. 1. All developed countries have measures in place (“home country measures”) to support their firms investing abroad. These include informational, financial and fiscal home country measures, as well as bilateral investment and tax treaties. A number of institutions administer these measures. In contrast, only a few developing countries have put home country measures in place (exemplified by China’s “going-out” strategy). This article reviews the following issues: * What are the different types of measures that home countries use to support outward FDI, and under what conditions? * Does the support that home country governments give to their firms investing abroad distort competitive neutrality among outward investors from different countries? This issue is currently being considered in reference to state-owned enterprises in the Trans-Pacific Partnership negotiations. * Should developing countries put home country measures in place, to protect the competitive position of their own outward investors?
