Abstract

To examine the impact of capital endowment and credit constraint on firms' FDI decisions, we build a model of investment portfolio based on heterogeneous firms setup. We find that financial factors matter for firms' internationalization. More capital endowment or less credit constraint lowers cutoff productivity for firms to do FDI.
