FDI在我国的技术效应分析及提升对策

改革开放初期，我国以“双缺口”模型为理论依据引进外资，但是，随着流入我国的外资不断增多，传统的双缺口模型越来越难以解释这一现象。外资在东道国的技术效应开始受到普遍关注。本文正是从技术进步的角度来探讨外资对我国经济的作用，分析了相关影响因素并提出相应对策。     

FDI对国内投资的影响、挤出抑或挤入

文章基于加速方程构建了一个包括产业内FDI、上下游产业FDI的国内投资模型,有效地识别和区分了FDI对国内投资影响的产业间效应和产业内效应。理论分析表明,FDI产业间效应主要表现为对内资的挤入效应,而产业内效应主要表现为挤出效应,但也存在由于水平溢出而间接产生挤入效应的可能性;在此基础上利用2002年～2005年2位数制造业层面的Panel数据实证分析了我国FDI对内资的挤出(入)效应。基于国内总投资和分所有制类型的企业投资的实证结果基本符合理论预期。     

影响我国FDI的投资环境因子分析

引资环境不同是影响FDI分布的重要原因，分析一国或地区各种投资环境因子与FDI的关系，有利于政府改善投资环境，更好地发展本国和本地区经济。本文采用因子分析和回归分析的方法，在模型构建的基础上，研究了我国影响FDI引进的投资环境因素，认为现阶段市场规模、生产要素等是影响我国FDI引进的主要原因。     

山东省服务业FDI对服务业各行业经济增长的影响

文章选取2000年—2005年山东省服务业各行业为研究样本,对各行业外商直接投资情况做了描述,通过回归分析,得出服务业主要行业外商直接投资对行业经济增长有不同影响的结论,在此基础上提出了相关的政策建议。     

FDI对长三角地区经济增长影响的实证分析

长江三角洲地区近年来经济持续快速增长,其中外资发挥了重要作用。文章运用经济计量模型,利用长江三角洲各个城市的有关经济数据对长江三角洲FDI与GDP增长的关系进行了实证分析,得出长江三角洲的经济增长与当地的外商直接投资有一定的关联度。文章最后给出了几点建议,对长三角地区更好地吸收FDI,保持区域经济的持续发展具有积极意义。     

FDI效应问题分析

我国自改革开放以来,对于外资的引入就持续增加,FDI的不断进入和利用在一定程度上提高了我国产品出口的竞争力,改善了我国国内各行业的组织和管理机制,另外还缓解了国内资金紧张的问题.但是,外资在促进我国工业化的过程中的同时,给中国带来很多不好的影响,比如环境污染、资源浪费等问题.本文以FDI实际使用的相关统计数据为基础,来分析说明FDI在我国的新趋势及其通过直接的技术外溢效应,结构效应、规模效应带来的环境效应问题.     

FDI对我国中部地区技术进步影响的实证研究

梳理了中部地区吸收利用FDI的现状和特征,计算出了中部的TFP(全要素生产率),并以此作为技术进步的衡量指标,构建VAR模型对FDI和TFP的相关性进行实证分析.结果表明,短期内FDI对中部地区的技术进步有一定的促进作用,但长期来看促进作用并不十分显著.中部地区在吸收利用FDI过程中要引导技术引进,加强自主创新;创造公平环境,扶持本土企业;鼓励中外合资,强化技术合作.     

外商直接投资对湖北省就业结构的影响及对策

外商直接投资规模及结构会对一国或一个地区的就业问题产生重要影响,而就业结构的合理与否,直接关系到劳动力的有效配置与利用的问题,也关系到一国一个地区,人力资本的形成和发展问题.本文以湖北省外商直接投资对该省就业结构的影响为核心进行探讨,分析其原因,并结合湖北省的实际情况提出改善投资环境,优化外商投资结构,实现湖北省就业结构优化升级的对策.     

FDI对我国产业安全的影响和对策探讨

1990年以后，外商直接投资成为我国利用外资的主要方式，对我国的产业安全在六个方面产生了较大影响。对此应从以技术创新为核心实现经济增长方式的转变、调整产业结构、建立健全产业安全宏观政策以及建立完善产业保护的仙体系等方面探讨我国产业安全对策。     

论FDI对我国环境的负面影响

我国自改革开放以来，引进的外商直接投资规模不断增大，特别是近几年来，我国利用的FDI额度每年登上新高。FDI对我国经济发展起到了重大作用．但往往人们注重经济发展时，却忽略了环境保护的问题。文章基于环境因素对我国引进的FDI进行了分析．说明了FDI多集中在污染密集型行业的现状，另外用一个数量模型证明了FDI的额度与我国污染密集型产品的出口额成正比的关系．从而指出FDI对我国环境有着较大的负面影响，需要正确处理两者的关系，实现协调发展。     

Privatization, strategic foreign direct investment and host-country welfare

Recent evidence shows that developing countries and transition economies are increasingly privatizing their public firms and at the same time experiencing rapid growth of inward foreign direct investment (FDI). We show that there is a two-way causality between privatization and greenfield FDI. Privatization increases the incentive for FDI, which, in turn, increases the incentive for privatization compared to the situation of no FDI. The optimal degree of privatization depends on the cost difference of the firms, and on the foreign firm's mode of entry.     

The effect of the euro on foreign direct investment

In this paper the recent effect of the European Monetary Union on inward FDI-flows is examined using a difference-in-differences approach. The estimated results show that the introduction of the euro raised inward FDI flows by approximately 16% within the euro area, by approximately 11% to non-members and weakly by around 8% from non-member countries into the euro area. Moreover, the geographical effects of the euro are explored. The results show partial agglomeration tendencies for the euro area. There are also some indications of increased importance of vertical specialization in the sample.     

The welfare effect of a free trade agreement in the presence of foreign direct investment and rules of origin

This paper investigates the welfare effect of forming a free trade agreement (FTA). To receive tariff‐free treatment, firms must comply with the rules of origin (ROO). Outside firms could undertake either market‐oriented or export‐platform foreign direct investments (FDIs). ROO have the following effects: (i) An infeasible FTA may become feasible by deterring outside firms' FDIs, (ii) an FDI of a less efficient firm could replace that of an efficient firm, or (iii) FDIs made before the FTA is concluded might be eliminated. These potential effects complicate the welfare effect of the FTA and could decrease the consumer surplus.     

The spatial correlation and interaction between environmental regulation and foreign direct investment

This paper uses spatial simultaneous equation models to analyze the two-way mechanism between environmental regulation and foreign direct investment (FDI). The results, based on data from 285 cities in China from 2003 to 2014, show the following. (1) Not only does environmental regulation have a significant impact on the location choice of FDI, but FDI tends to flow to a city with more relaxed environmental regulation. Environmental regulation can also trigger the near transfer effect of FDI. (2) FDI has a significant spatial spillover effect and this spatial spillover effect has an important impact on FDI and environmental regulation in a particular city. (3) Although multinationals choose a city with more relaxed environmental regulations when they invest in China, FDI inflows have increased both the number and severity of local environmental regulations, indicating that the “pollution haven” hypothesis does not hold in China. (4) Environmental regulation has a significant spatial spillover effect, and this spatial spillover effect has an important impact on both environmental regulation and FDI in cities. In China, there is also a local competitive effect of environmental regulation, albeit with significant regional differences.     

日韩在华直接投资:现状与对策

随着世界经济一体化和跨国公规模化的不断发展,以控制国外业所有权为目的,主要采取独资,资,合作以及收购或兼并国外企等形式开展的对外直接投资已经为世界各国对外投资的一种主要式。由于地理位置原因,日本和韩均是对华投资规模较大的国家,几年来投资规模不断扩大,已跻对华投资的前列。据商务部统计,003年日本对华投资额达50.54亿元,韩国为44.89亿美元。仅次于国香港(177.00亿美元)和维尔京岛(57.77亿美元)。2004年1—10,日本对华实际投资额为47.15美元,而韩国对华实际投资额更达58.67亿美元,其投资金额首超过日本,达到历史最高水平,成在华…     

Determinants of foreign direct investment

Empirical studies of bilateral foreign direct investment (FDI) activity show substantial differences in specifications with little agreement on the set of included covariates. We use Bayesian statistical techniques that allow one to select from a large set of candidates those variables most likely to be determinants of FDI activity. The variables with consistently high inclusion probabilities include traditional gravity variables, cultural distance factors, relative labour endowments and trade agreements. There is little support for multilateral trade openness, most host‐country business costs, host‐country infrastructure and host‐country institutions. Our results suggest that many covariates found significant by previous studies are not robust.     

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.
