Technological innovation and multinational expansion: A two-way link?

The paper examines how investment in research influences the form of foreign expansion chosen by the firm, and vice versa. We consider a two-country model where a monopolist producing in one country can choose between export and foreign direct investment. We assume process innovation, where the cost-reducing technological innovations are an outcome of the firm's investment in R&D. The role of technology transfer costs is explored. The model shows that, with low costs of technology transfer, there is a two-way link between the firm's R&D effort and multinational expansion. We also prove that both the research choice and the multinational choice have a positive effect on consumers' welfare in both countries.     

The Differential Impact of Public and Private Governance Institutions on the Different Modes of Foreign Investment

This paper examines the respective impacts of public and private governance institutions on foreign direct and foreign portfolio investment inflows. We present two hypotheses: (1) there is a strong correlation between the quality of a country’s public governance institutions and the amount of foreign direct investment (FDI) received while the quality of its private governance institutions has no further discernible impact on this correlation; (2) there is a strong correlation between the quality of a country’s public governance institutions and the amount of foreign portfolio investment (FPI) received while the quality of its private governance institutions has a further positive impact on this correlation. Our findings, which are based on panel data analysis, show both hypotheses to be valid.     

税收优惠政策调整对FDI流入的影响分析

随着新的企业所得税法的实施,税收优惠政策也发生了巨大调整。通过对新税收优惠政策的分析及最新数据的比较得出：企业所得税法税收优惠政策的调整不会阻碍FDI的流入,相反,新政策在目前甚至将来还有助于FDI的质量的提高和数量的增加。     

Location determinant and MNE’s performance: A modeling test in the China’s automobile industry

This paper argues that the location strategy is an important successful condition for multinational enterprise’s investment in China. We conduct a location–performance model for multinationals in China, which is tested using a structural equation modeling approach on a sample of 216 joint ventures of automobile multinational enterprises in China. We find that the relationship between the location determinant and multinational performance is significant and positive, and which is supported by the local partner’s performance.     

跨国公司进入方式规制的理论与政策研究

跨国公司采取直接投资进入东道国有两种方式:跨国并购和新建投资。在进入方式的选择上,在不同的约束条件下跨国公司和东道国具有不同的收益和成本,但现有的跨国公司直接投资规制的理论研究和政策分析没有区分这两种进入方式。文章认为,东道国政府在制定跨国公司直接投资的规制政策时,要综合权衡各种进入方式的积极效应和负面影响,制定适宜的规制政策,从而在引资过程中获得最大利益。文章还对跨国公司在华直接投资规制的实践进行了回顾,并提出了进一步的政策取向的建议。     

Determinants of foreign direct investment of OECD countries 1991–2001

It is the objective of this paper to identify the determinants that led to the increase in worldwide foreign direct investment during the 1990s. The paper also addresses the question of whether these factors influenced exports differently. Therefore, using data from 22 countries reporting to the OECD, gravity models for bilateral FDI stocks/flows and exports are estimated, first in a cross-section setting for 1999 and then as a panel data set for the period 1991–2001. In order to control for EU-specific effects, a distinction is made between intra-EU25 observations and observations outside the EU25 area. Regressions are repeated with exports as a dependent variable in order to elaborate how far determinants of trade flows are identical or how far they differ. In the panel context, the results show that a change in total market size is an important aspect that leads both FDI and exports in the same direction. Only exports are significantly influenced by relative market size. Stock market booms boost FDI but not exports. Political indicators and exchange rate changes suggest that exports are demand-driven while FDI is supply-driven. Overall, FDI and exports tended to flow relatively less abundantly to distant countries than to nearby countries over the period under consideration. This supports the idea of a complementary relationship between investment and trade. However, this trend is reversed for exports within the EU25 area.     

制度作为区位优势对中国吸引外商直接投资的影响——以引力模型为基础的实证分析

本文运用引力模型检验了中国的制度变量作为区位优势对中国吸引外商直接投资(FDI)的影响.实证分析结果表明,中国与投资国签署双边投资保护协定、文化因素、政策变量以及人民币贬值对中国吸引FDI具有正的显著影响,而中国的关税水平、知识产权保护程度、政府廉洁度对流入中国的FDI的影响在统计上不显著.

China’s regulatory framework for outward foreign direct investment

China has become the world’s third largest outward investor, behind the United States and Japan. A growing body of literature suggests that China’s regulatory framework for outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) is a determinant of the country’s rising OFDI. This article presents a holistic review of that framework, including some possibilities for its improvement. Overall, China’s framework serves two objectives: to help Chinese firms become more competitive internationally and to assist the country in its development effort. In pursuing these objectives, the regulatory framework has moved from restricting, to facilitating, to supporting, to encouraging OFDI, but there are still strong elements of administrative control that make it cumbersome. State-owned enterprises (SOEs) seem to benefit particularly from the current framework when internationalizing through FDI.     

Does institutional quality resolve the Lucas Paradox?

The Lucas Paradox observes that capital flows predominantly to relatively rich countries, contradicting the neoclassical prediction that it should flow to poorer capital-scarce countries. In an influential study, Alfaro, Kalemli-Ozcan, and Volosovych (AKV) argue that cross-country variation in institutional quality can fully explain the Paradox, contending that if institutional quality is included in regression models explaining international capital inflows, a country’s level of economic development is no longer statistically significant. We replicate AKV’s results using their cross-sectional IFS capital flow data. Motivated by the importance of conducting inference in statistically adequate models, we focus on misspecification testing of alternative functional forms of their empirical model of capital flows. We show that their resolution of the Paradox relies on inference in a misspecified model. In models that do not fail basic misspecification tests, even though institutional quality is a significant determinant of capital inflows, a country’s level of economic development also remains a significant predictor. The same conclusions are reached using an extended dataset covering more recent IFS international capital flow data, first-differenced capital stock data and additional controls.     

跨国公司直接投资新特点及对策

国际产业转移是各国产业结构升级和开放经济的结果,发达国家可以通过产业转移实现全球战略目标.随着国际产业转移趋势的发展,跨国公司在华直接投资也产生了新变化并顺应了产业转移的趋势,如何认识产生这种变化的原因,并进一步了解我国为顺应这种产业转移趋势在对待国外直接投资方面所采取的新对策,同时为政府的政策调整提出一些有益的借鉴,是我们所面临的一项重要课题.
