Previous researches indicate that foreign direct investment (FDI) by Japanese manufacturing industries promotes domestic investment because it induces import of intermediate goods from domestic parent to their foreign affiliated firms. However, after the early 2000s, foreign affiliated firms of Japanese manufacturing industries have decreased import from domestic parent firms by having increased local procurement. In other words, they have changed vertical FDI into horizontal one. We empirically investigate how the relationship between FDI and domestic investment has changed from fiscal year 2001 to 2012 using semi-macro data aggregated by manufacturing industries. Our results are summarized as follows. In the case of whole manufacturing industry, the positive effect of FDI on domestic investment in the latest period is significantly smaller than in the former periods. On the other hand, in the cases of the transportation equipment industry and the electrical machinery industry, the effect of FDI on domestic investment has become smaller during our analysis period, but a decline in the effect is not statistically significant.
