Werner, Richard A. (1994) Japanese foreign investment and the "Land Bubble". Review of International Economics, 2 (2), 166-178. (doi:10.1111/j.1467-9396.1994.tb00038.x).
Abstract
The aim of this paper is to examine the determinants of Japanese net long-term capital flows in the 1980s and early 1990s. A basic framework is proposed which takes account of Japan's so-called land bubble by incorporating the interaction of land with the banking sector in a macroeconomic portfolio model of capital flows. Empirical evidence is supportive of the hypothesis that land-related bank loans have been a major determinant of Japanese net long-term foreign investment. the hypothesis of substitution between direct and indirect foreign investment also receives support, and areas of future research are mentioned.
