The results show that the improvement in MNEs' Internet use has significantly promoted the development of their OFDI, but the WeChat use index, which mainly serves the domestic market, has a crowding-out effect on this process. Heterogeneity analysis shows that the promoting effect of Internet use on OFDI mainly occurs in "the non-Belt and Road" and developing countries, midwestern regions, cross-border M&A and service investment. Further analysis shows that the impact of Internet use on OFDI is mainly generated through two channels: easing financing constraints and improving technological innovation ability. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
