开展绿色经营提高竞争能力

企业作为人的要素和物的要素的生产集合体,是社会经济有机体的基本细胞之一,其生存与发展是通过不断竞争而实现的。竞争的手段随着社会经济发展水平和市场环境的变化而日益多样化,逐步从质量竞争、服务竞争、品牌竞争,发展到绿色竞争。随着人类社会环保意识的增强,以及国际社会、各国政府对环境问题的重视,高污染企业不是在政府强制性的关、停、并、转过程中消亡,就是在绿色消费运动中因产品遭到强烈抵制而被市场自然淘汰。企业单靠传统的竞争手段已不能适应生态时代市场和社会环境变化的需要。引入绿色竞争手段,强化绿色经营理念,…

努力培育城市功能 提高城市综合竞争力

城市功能是指城市在一定时期和一定地域的社会经济发展中所起的作用。城市最基本的功能是集聚。城市功能可分为普通功能和特色功能两类。普通功能体现着一切城市的共性,区分的是城市和乡村间的界限,特色功能则体现出城市的个性,区分的是此城市和彼城市间的界限,不同层次的城市有不同的功能,世界的城市一般分为四个层次,第一层是世界高等级,是全球性的信息、金融领导控制中心,如纽约、东京。第二层是区域性的金融,管理和服务中心,如香港、上海等大成都市,第三层是具体进行生产和装配的城市,就是大工业基地,第四层是局部地区的加工、交换中心,目前嘉兴的城市层次处于第三层的第四层之间。“十五”及至2010年,嘉兴城市功能建设的核心内容应该是制造业的集聚,即建设大工业基地。着力点应从五个方面努力提高城市的普通功能。从四个方面大力培育城市的特色功能。     

Trade costs and foreign direct investment

This paper focuses on an apparent conflict between the theory of foreign direct investment (FDI) and recent trends in the globalized world. The bulk of FDI is horizontal rather than vertical, and standard theory predicts that horizontal FDI is discouraged when trade costs fall. This seems to conflict with the experience of the 1990s, when trade liberalisation and technological change led to dramatic reductions in trade costs yet FDI grew much faster than trade. Two possible resolutions to this paradox are explored. First, horizontal FDI in trading blocs is encouraged by intra-bloc trade liberalisation, because foreign firms establish plants in one country as export platforms to serve the bloc as a whole. Second, cross-border mergers, quantitatively more important than greenfield FDI, are encouraged rather than discouraged by falling trade costs.     

Migrant networks and foreign direct investment

Although there exists a sizeable literature documenting the importance of ethnic networks for international trade, little attention has been devoted to studying the effects of migrants on foreign direct investment (FDI). The presence of migrants can stimulate FDI by promoting information flows across international borders and by serving as a contract enforcement mechanism. This paper investigates the link between the presence of migrants in the US and US FDI in the migrants' countries of origin, taking into account the potential endogeneity concerns. The results suggest that US FDI abroad is positively correlated with the presence of migrants from the host country. The data further indicate that the relationship between FDI and migration is stronger for migrants with tertiary education.     

Determinants of foreign direct investment in Spain

This study utilizes panel data as a means of examining the determinants of foreign direct investment (FDI) in Spain. Data that are taken in the period 1993–2002 are used in order to estimate the determinants of FDI, at the sectoral level, by differentiating the manufacturing sectors, and at the regional level. The analysis investigates the sectoral, regional and macroeconomic variables that have successfully attracted FDI inflows from those that have not. Empirical results suggest that the differential between labour productivity and the cost of labour has been an important determinant of FDI in Spain during the period 1993–2002. Factors related to demand, the evolution of human capital, the export potential of the sectors and certain macroeconomic determinants that measure the differential between Spain and the European Union average, also play a very important role in attracting flows of FDI. Certain policy issues that are relevant to the results are also discussed.     

Competition in taxes and performance requirements for foreign direct investment

Tax incentives offered to attract firms engaged in foreign direct investment are often tied to performance requirements such as domestic content restrictions or adherence to environmental standards. The tax competition literature has repeatedly shown that competition between municipalities for mobile firms tends to drive taxes to low levels. One would expect a comparable result for burdensome performance requirements. Despite this, the evidence suggests that while taxes have indeed been driven down, performance requirements are as popular as ever. We explain this seeming conundrum by showing that in the presence of spillovers, binding performance requirements can act as a coordination device for firms. In equilibrium, municipalities choose performance requirements, which maximize joint surplus from investment. Competition between municipalities then transfers this surplus to firms via tax subsidies.     

Tax incentives and foreign direct investment in China

The preferential tax policies for foreign direct investment (FDI) in China were terminated by a tax reform in 2008. This article uses the provincial-level panel data for 1998?2008 before the reform in order to study whether the tax incentive had been a significant determinant of foreign investment decisions. We find that market size and geographic location had significant impacts on the FDI inflow into China but the tax incentive policies were not a sufficient determinant of FDI inflow into China over the periods studied, which provides a rationale for the termination of the tax incentives in FDI at 2008 reform in China.     

The impact of bilateral investment treaties on foreign direct investment

This paper uses a large panel of OECD data on stocks of outward foreign direct investment (FDI) to evaluate the impact of bilateral investment treaties. For several variants of the knowledge capital model of multinationals, we demonstrate that investment treaties exert a significant positive effect on outward FDI, if they actually are implemented. Moreover, even signing a treaty has a positive, although lower and in most specifications insignificant, effect on FDI. Journal of Comparative Economics 32 (4) (2004) 788–804.     

资源安全与我国的境外投资促进政策

近年来,我国境外投资活动发展迅速,境外投资政策的体系也正在由限制走向中性的政策体系。境外投资支持体系主要围绕如下四个的功能而设计,分别是投资保护、监管、服务与引导,同时也需要对某些产业的境外投资给予特殊的支持。境外投资政策体系的结构及其基础1.鼓励与限制相结合的中性原则如何正确地看待企业的境外投资行为,是政府制订政策时首先需要解决的问题。经济学原理认为,资本的跨国界流动可以改善资源配置的效率,从而增进世界福利水平。以此为依据,可以认为允许资本自由流动是符合经济理想的。但这一原理是以一系列严格假定为前提的,…
