近年來，全球半導體產業因與各個生產合作的國家緊密結合，增加其互動性，而台灣半導體產業因政策性之發展，形成重要的一環，導致吸引許多外資機構的投資。然而，相對外資機構、基金經理人與市場研究員對個股投資的需求上，渴望藉由產業鏈來探索公司股票，而非是透過國家別來尋找有力的個股，基於產業連動特性必會受到國際因素的影響，而興起本研究主題。 本篇研究利用Panel Data檢測2004年1月到2009年12月間，306期週資料以研究三大國際要素(產業股價指數、國內外總體經濟變數與公司個別變數)和台灣半導體產業外資持股比例之間的關係。 本研究採用固定效果作為模型，主要有三點發現。第一，三大國際因素皆有顯著影響外資持股比例，其分為正向與負向影響關係。第二，外資對台灣半導體公司的偏好程度不一致，高外資持股比例之公司擁有正係數，反之亦然，而高係數公司當中，意味著外資偏好知名度高、財務資訊透明的公司。第三，研究結果針對想要追隨外資投資策略之國內投資者與欲吸引國外機構投資的公司財務人員，具有重要之投資決策意涵。當研究所採用的變數變化時，國內投資者可事先調整投資組合，以因應外資在個股比例增減上所帶來的損益，並與外資一同創造利潤。 In recent years, the global semiconductor industry environment is accelerated because of increasing interaction to cooperative country, Taiwan play a important role in the industry so that it attracts investments from many foreign institutions. However, foreign institutions, fund managers and market analysts desire to explore company stocks through industry sector lens, rather than assess stocks country by country.

The Fixed Effect Model is adopted as our methodology, the major findings of this study are as follows: First, three types of variable have significant influence on foreign share holding, they was divided into positive and negative sing. Second, the evidence suggests that the foreign institution’s preference for firms will be different.
