英文文献摘要：
Singapore is an interesting example of how the pattern of foreign investment changes with economic development. In this paper, we analyze inbound and outbound investment between Singapore and a sample of industrialized and developing countries over the period 1984-2003. We find that Singapore?’s two-way investment with industrialized nations has shifted into skill-seeking activities over the period, while Singapore?’s investments in developing countries have increased sharply and become concentrated in labor-seeking activities. Singapore?’s increasing skill abundance relative to all countries in our sample accounted for 41 per cent of average inbound stocks during the period, i.e. US$18 billion annually; the corresponding figure for outbound stocks was 40 per cent, i.e. US$5.51 billion annually.
