Regional job-turnover and industrial policy. a note on a potential time pattern of regional industrial policies and their job effects - the case of the german city-state of bremen

Many regions have experienced long-run economic fluctuations generated by the life cycles of their dominant industrial clusters. During the downswings in the 1970s and 1980s, proactive structural policies were typically launched in German regions to combat job losses in their core clusters and to create new jobs in new industries. With respect to the German State of Bremen, this paper provides empirical evidence of: (1) a long-run regional downswing; (2) the potential job effects of proactive regional industrial policy programmes in terms of increasing regional employment, by safeguarding jobs in the regional core industries and creating new jobs in new growth industries; and (3) a time pattern in the job effects, which are related to the different generations of programmes.     

FDI对中国经济增长的贡献:基于宏观投资和进出口角度的实证检验

从宏观角度看,国民生产总值由投资、消费、政府支出和净出口组成。FDI作为一篮子生产要素的组合,既作为资本要素的投资对GDP产生直接作用,也作为技术要素对GDP产生间接作用,同时又作为集合要素影响净出口从而影响GDP。本文通过计量方程,对作为宏观投资的FDI和GDP之间关系进行检验,发现FDI的贡献率比以往文献的研究要低;此外,通过对整体外资企业的进出口贸易数值研究,可以发现FDI对净出口贸易影响并不显著,从而削弱了对GDP的贡献。因此,提高外资质量、促进技术进步、增强微观的国内企业活力以及引导国内储蓄转化为投资是中国的必然选择。     

湖南省FDI对当地进出口贸易的影响及对策分析

近年来,湖南省FDI发展迅速并促进了当地进出口贸易的发展.文章通过分析湖南省FDI对进出口贸易的主要影响,综合大量文献梳理出影响湖南省FDI贸易效应大小的主要因素,并利用层次分析法对其进行重要性排序,认为投资动因、投资主体、投资行业以及投资来源国(或地区)这四项因素在影响湖南省FDI贸易效应的过程中发挥着关键作用,进而提出针对性的对策和建议.     

Does it matter where you invest? The impact of foreign direct investments on domestic job creation and destruction

This study examines how foreign direct investment (FDI) affects domestic employment by using unique division-level data of Japanese firms. Contrary to most previous studies focusing on the effect of FDI on net employment growth, we decompose it into job creation (JC) and job destruction (JD) for each individual firm. We find that FDI destination plays an important role: FDI to Asia increases JC, whereas FDI to Europe/North America decreases it; furthermore JD decreases, regardless of FDI destination. A frictional search-and-matching model with heterogeneous jobs can explain the differential effects. The model provides additional predictions on JC and JD by job type, which are also empirically confirmed.     

建设抚—哈合作开发区的设想

抚远县和一江之隔的哈巴罗夫斯克市及其周围地区,以其优越的地缘优势、资源优势和互补性,具有发展双边(多边)经济技术合作的广阔前景。建设抚哈合作开发区,不仅有利于振兴当地经济,而且可作为参与东北亚国际分工与合作的窗口,通过外参内联,实现由边疆到内地,由双边到多边的多种形式的经贸合作,带动和促进两国内地经济的发展。     

互联网金融发展提升了区域创新效率吗——基于空间杜宾模型的实证分析

基于2011—2018年全国30个省份（西藏地区和港澳台地区因数据缺少剔除）的面板数据,利用随机前沿模型测度中国区域创新效率。在此基础上构建动态空间面板模型对互联网金融发展与我国区域创新效率提升的关系进行实证分析,结果表明互联网金融发展与区域创新效率均存在显著的空间集聚特征。进一步通过中介效应检验发现,互联网金融发展主要通过加速金融发展与人力资本积累等对区域创新效率产生正向影响,该影响也表现出显著的空间溢出效应。

Foreign Direct Investment in the Enlarged EU: Do Taxes Matter and to What Extent?

Foreign direct investment is of increasing importance in the European Union. This paper estimates the effect of taxes on foreign direct investment (FDI) flows and on three sub-components of these flows for the countries of the enlarged European Union. The model in the spirit of gravity equations robustly explains FDI flows between the 25 member states. Sample selection needs to be addressed in the estimation. We show that the different subcomponents of FDI should and indeed do react differently to taxes. After controlling for unobserved country characteristics and common time effects, the top statutory corporate tax rate of both, source and host country, turn insignificant for total FDI and investment into equity. However, high source country taxes clearly increase the probability of firms to re-invest profits abroad and lower the percentage of debt financed FDI. This might reflect profit re-allocation to avoid taxes. Market size factors have the expected signs.

内外经济视角破解中国出口贸易发展痼疾——“中美对话”和“平稳转型”探讨

在中国出口贸易发展受到外部环境冲击情况下,国内外学者对出口贸易规模是否能够稳步增长不断提出质疑。在此叙事背景下,通过对出口贸易的发展历程及结构失衡深入剖析,发现内部结构性矛盾才是真正威胁出口贸易持续发展的根源所在,外部需求冲击影响微弱。中美贸易差额的比较研究显示,美国对中国贸易逆差并非特例,消除贸易争端的经济手段则是顺差规模的缩小;中国探寻多元化出口贸易实践是解除贸易商品、国别结构失衡的内在要求,也是长久之计。基于中国内外经济发展运行的特殊性,对外贸易发展研究需要超越开放宏观经济学的理论认识局限。要实现出口贸易稳步发展须兼顾区域平衡目标,解除结构性枷锁。消除出口贸易的区域失衡发展困境是解决对外经济发展问题的根本之所在,制定贸易政策必须以＂省区＂这一基本层面为依据。     

市域轨道交通线路合理经济长度研究

在理论分析的基础上,从经济角度出发研究市域轨道交通合理的经济长度。以乘客旅行次数需求密度函数为基础,建立市域轨道交通线路长度效益函数和成本函数,其中效益函数包括旅客时间节省效益函数和票价收入效益函数;成本函数包括建设成本函数和运营成本函数,效益函数和成本函数相加即为市域轨道交通社会效益最大化的目标函数。通过建立社会效益函数的非线性函数,建立模型求解,得出合理的市域轨道交通经济长度。
