Revisiting Exports and Foreign Direct Investment in Vietnam

Since 1986, Vietnam has undertaken various reform measures in the trade and foreign investment area. This paper finds significant contributions of world trade, and competitiveness and liberalization effects to Vietnam's export growth over the period 1997–2008. Vietnam's exports became more competitive and better complemented the import demand of Vietnam's trade partners. In addition, dynamic comparative advantage became evident in many products, but significant room remains for improving export competitiveness. Foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows also increased and helped stimulate Vietnam's exports. FDI inflows have increased in both the short‐ and long‐term, yet are only of a limited magnitude. This necessitates more effective measures to enhance the linkages between FDI and domestic enterprises.     

Are Asian Sovereign Wealth Funds Different?

Sovereign wealth funds have become a prominent feature of the international financial landscape. However, legitimate concerns have been raised about these funds. Many of those concerns can be addressed via increased accountability and transparency by the funds. The Santiago Principles are a good start in doing so. My sovereign wealth funds scoreboard points to areas where these Principles can be improved. At the same time, the OECD effort to address concerns from the host‐country side has not resulted in the erection of new barriers to that form of cross‐border investment, but the OECD failed to reverse the creeping financial protectionism of the past decade. Because of their size and the source of their funding, some Asian funds stand out. As a result, those funds will be held to a higher standard of accountability and transparency.

Association of Southeast Asian Nations Economic Integration: Developments and Challenges

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) was formed in 1967 for geopolitical reasons, but faced with the competitive threat from the North American Free Trade Agreement and the European Single Market, it embarked in 1992 on the ASEAN Free Trade Area in goods, followed by liberalization of services trade and investment flows. A subsequent competitive threat from the rise of China and India led to the ASEAN Economic Community in 2003, targeted at creating a single market and production base and a competitive region with equitable economic development and integrated with the global economy. The ASEAN Economic Community is not quite a common market as it allows for only freer flows of capital and free flows of skilled labor. ASEAN's economic diversity led to difficulties with implementation and the need to narrow the development gap. ASEAN's dependence on global markets and investors led to the emphasis on open regionalism, support of the World Trade Organization, and free trade agreements with its major trade and investment partners.

基于Falvey模型的H-O第三定理及其政策意义研究

利用Falvey模型推出H-O第三定理及其丰富的政策意义,即劳动丰富的国家或地区出口国际竞争力低的商品,资本丰富的国家或地区出口国际竞争力高的商品.提高工资率或者降低资本租金率可以扩大该国或该地区产品的国际竞争力区域,但不会逆转国际竞争力现状.只有提高工资率和降低资本租金率的政策同时实施,才能够逆转该国或该地区的国际竞...     

我国关税政策效应作用于经济增长路径的研究

理论研究表明,关税政策效应作用于经济增长的路径有可能是通过国际贸易和技术进步实现的。本文采用1978—2009年我国经济相关数据,建立VEC模型进行实证研究,结果表明,我国经济增长与关税政策存在协整关系,关税政策效应作用于经济增长的路径长期依赖于国际贸易,而短期依赖于国际贸易和技术进步。

英国崛起时期经济板块化和全国性整合

英国是世界上第一个工业化和最早的现代化国家。15世纪以前,英国经济落后且分散,发展水平从东南向西北成梯度式下降。16、17世纪,由于乡村工业等因素推动,英国经济一方面是区域性特征日渐显著;另一方面则有全国性整合趋势,但形成的是伦敦控制的偏倚的全国经济体系。1700年后,随着乡村工业发展和工业革命发生,英格兰西北崛起为工业中心,成为经济增长的强劲一极,与以商贸金融为主的伦敦南北呼应;中间地带则在南北两极所造成的全国性整合中,成为两极间的过渡带和资源供应区。三大板块构架了强劲的英国经济整体。
