This paper analyzed the driven factors of outward direct investment from emerging economies, form both home country and host country perspective. This paper then elaborates the opportunities and risks in outward direct investment for emerging economies, and provides some policy implication.

The natural and strategic resources, the institutional quality, the macroeconomic scale, the labor cost of host countries attributes to decision making in outward direct investment. The multilateral cooperation, the financial support, the regional integration and international trade liberalization provide opportunity for direct investment.
