“一带一路”沿线国家税收竞争力对中国对外直接投资的影响

"一带一路"沿线国家税收竞争力对中国对外直接投资具有重要影响。实证研究发现,"一带一路"沿线国家税收竞争力的提升显著促进了中国对外直接投资的增加。因而,中国政府应致力于加强国际税收合作与区域协调,构建"共商、共建、共享"税收新体系;为企业投资"一带一路"沿线国家(地区)提供优质的跨境涉税服务和税务风险预警指引,从宏观上引导企业对外直接投资健康发展;完善国内税收政策体系以提升国际税收竞争力,更好吸引外来投资;企业应密切关注东道国税收政策变化,有效防范风险,利用"一带一路"倡议带来的机遇,积极拓展海外市场。     

“一带一路”倡议与中国对外直接投资——基于双重差分法的实证分析

基于"中国全球投资跟踪"微观数据库,采用双重差分(DID)的方法分析"一带一路"倡议对中国对外直接投资(OFDI)的影响及其作用机制。实证结果发现,"一带一路"倡议下的国际政治合作能显著增加中国企业的对外直接投资。进一步机制分析发现,"一带一路"倡议能减少中国企业面临的政治风险,增加中国的对外直接投资。加深对中国企业海外投资决定因素的理解,不仅有利于东道国吸引外资,还有利于中国企业"走出去"。     

“一带一路”战略下中国对外直接投资的驱动因素研究

本文以中国对“一带一路”沿线国家直接投资为研究着眼点,阐述中国对外直接 投资概况,分析中国对外直接投资的驱动因素并提出假说,利用2005-2015年中国对“一带一 路”沿线国家直接投资数据,建立面板回归模型,剖析中国对“一带一路”沿线国家直接投资 的驱动因素。研究表明：从整体来说,中国扩大对外直接投资受到双边贸易合作、东道国市场 潜能、基础设施条件等因素共同影响,驳斥了中国对外直接投资是以掠夺资源为导向的不实之 词;从分地区来看,中国对中亚、西亚直接投资更受到自然资源因素影响,对东南亚直接投资 注重双边贸易合作与东道国市场潜能,对南亚、独联体、中东欧直接投资则是综合考虑双边贸 易合作、东道国市场潜能、基础设施条件以及劳动力禀赋等因素。     

“一带一路”沿线国家的通信设施、金融发展与我国对外投资

本文选取我国在"一带一路"沿线主要国家的直接投资存量数据,运用空间计量模型,验证"一带一路"沿线国家通信设施对我国OFDI的影响以及金融发展对这种影响的调节作用。结果显示:东道国及其周边国家通信设施水平的改善,可以有效促进我国在东道国的直接投资;东道国通信设施的发展有赖于其金融发展,金融发展水平越高的国家,其通信设施水平就越高。本文的研究结论说明,我国在"一带一路"地区投资时,应同时考虑东道国的通信设施与金融发展水平。     

最低工资标准、“一带一路”倡议与中国对外直接投资

探究最低工资标准与"一带一路"倡议对中国企业对外直接投资的直接和交互影响对于评估优化政策、指导中国对外直接投资具有重要意义。文章将"一带一路"倡议纳入研究框架,从企业对外直接投资金额和次数两个方面考察"一带一路"倡议与最低工资标准对中国对外直接投资的直接和交互影响。研究发现:最低工资标准和"一带一路"倡议直接促进了中国企业对外直接投资;"一带一路"倡议强化了最低工资标准提高对企业对外直接投资的促进作用;劳动密集度高的企业和民营企业在"一带一路"倡议与最低工资标准的交互作用下更倾向于进行对外直接投资。     

“一带一路”新形势下,中国企业对外投资方向研究

本文首先通过数据分析,发现两国GDP与距离、东道主国家劳动力规模、技术要素与总赋税水平等,对中国企业对外投资产生影响。因此,从对外投资驱动因素、对外投资方向及加强国际合作三个方面给出相关建议。     

“一带一路”倡议下我国企业对外投资风险及对策研究

随着经济全球化发展的不断深入,我国企业对外投资规模不断扩大,在“一带一路”倡议下,我国对外贸易快速发展。由于国际环境复杂多变,我国企业对外投资面临多方面的风险,如经济、政治、文化差异等,需积极采取有效的风险防范策略。对此,文章基于“一带一路”倡议视角,探讨我国企业对外投资现状,阐述我国企业对外投资面临的风险,着重论述化解我国企业对外投资风险的对应策略,希望能为我国企业对外投资的顺利开展提供保障。     

投资便利化对中国对外直接投资的空间溢出效应研究——基于“一带一路”国家的实证研究

本文通过构建投资便利化指标体系,利用主成分分析法测算了40个“一带一路”沿线国家的投资便利化水平,在此基础上利用空间计量模型检验了投资便利化水平与对外投资之间的关系。研究认为:“一带一路”沿线国家的投资便利化水平两极分化趋势明显,且中国对“一带一路”国家的直接投资具有显著的空间溢出效应。最后,本文从提升投资便利化水平、加强“一带一路”沿线国家投资制度和规则建设,以及强化形势研判,防范投资风险等方面提出相应的政策建议。     

中国吸引外资、对外投资和对外贸易:历史与未来

中国已经成为全球外国直接投资的主要接受者,同时也是世界上第二大对外直接投资国。中国希望通过扩大对外直接投资学习先进技术和管理经验,并帮助国内企业分散风险。在改革开放推动下,中国逐步成为一个世界贸易强国,其主要贸易伙伴遍布欧美、东南亚及日本、韩国等,制造业产品在中国对外贸易中占比较大。     

Globalization and Outward Foreign Direct Investment

While recent research into foreign direct investment (FDI) has focused on examining the importance of institutions, corruption, money laundering, and tax havens, the role of globalization on FDI has not yet been explored. This research investigates the impacts of globalization on outward FDI. We find that both overall globalization and its economic and social dimensions significantly positively influence outward FDI flows. We also demonstrate that beyond the level of globalization, corruption, money laundering, and the status of a country as a tax haven, cross-country similarity also plays an important role. Accordingly, policies specifically designed to increase the transparency of outward FDI flows should be required to address money laundering and the existence of tax havens.     

Foreign Direct Investment,Institutional Quality,and Financial Development along the Belt and Road: An Empirical Investigation

ABSTRACT

The source of financial development is less investigated in the literature, especially the role foreign direct investment (FDI) plays on financial development. Using data from 50 countries joining the Belt and Road Initiative, this article at first time tests the impact of FDI on financial development in a host country. Empirical results show that FDI can significantly improve the development of financial sector, especially the development of financial markets. FDI is found to be a stronger driver of financial development for countries with higher quality institutions. Moreover, FDI not only increases financial deepening, but also enhances financial function.     

对外直接投资、控制风险与上市公司审计费用

本文在国家实施"走出去"战略的背景下,研究企业对外直接投资对审计费用的影响。研究以2007~2018年我国A股上市公司为样本,发现进行对外直接投资的企业,审计费用显著高于没有对外直接投资的企业,说明审计师能够识别因企业对外直接投资导致的审计风险的上升和审计成本的增加,并通过增加审计费用的方式予以补偿;且此差异不因产权性质和企业所在地市场化水平而异;采用改变样本量、PSM及多时点DID等进行稳健性检验后,研究结论保持不变。进一步分析发现,如果企业内部控制质量较高,控制风险水平较低,则对外直接投资与审计费用之间的关系会弱化,表明控制风险在对外直接投资与审计费用之间起到调节作用,且此作用仅在非国有控股及市场化水平较高地区的企业中显著。     

Corruption Distance and Foreign Direct Investment

We study the effects of “corruption distance,” defined as the difference in corruption levels between country pairs on bilateral foreign direct investment (FDI). Using a “gravity” model and the Heckman (1979) two-stage framework on a data set of forty-five countries from 1997 to 2007, we find that corruption distance adversely influences both the likelihood of FDI and the volume of FDI. A novel finding in this study is that we identify the asymmetric effect of corruption distance and find that the positive corruption distance, defined as the corruption distance from a high corruption source to a low corruption host country, is the prominent one that affects the behavior of bilateral FDI.     

"一带一路"倡议实施与企业金融化决策

依据2009-2018年沪深两市A股上市非金融企业数据,基于2014年"一带一路"倡议实施这一准自然实验,考量"一带一路"倡议实施对企业金融化水平的影响.结果显示:"一带一路"倡议的实施可以显著抑制企业的金融化水平;"一带一路"倡议实施对企业金融化水平的抑制效应仅在非国有企业、内部控制质量高、东部地区以及重点扶持行业的公司中存在;缓解融资约束是"一带一路"倡议实施抑制企业金融化水平的一个重要渠道.     

“一带一路”建设对要素配置效率的影响——基于中国上市工业企业的研究

本文借鉴Hsieh and Klenow(2009)的理论框架,采用2010—2018年中国上市工业企业数据,使用双重差分方法,考察“一带一路”建设对要素配置效率的影响。结果表明,从平均意义上看,“一带一路”建设显著改善了位于重点对接省份企业的劳动配置效率,但对资本配置效率的作用尚不明显。机制分析结果表明,“一带一路”建设主要通过深化重点对接省份的开放水平,尤其是促进它们的双向直接投资规模,改善劳动要素配置效率。进一步研究发现,要素流动表现出“劳动往高处走,资本往低处流”的特征,导致劳动和资本的配置效率出现“分野”:在重点对接“一带一路”的省份,劳动生产率高的企业配置了更多的劳动要素,劳动配置效率得以改善;但由于市场资源配置能力尚未得到充分释放,资本生产率高的企业在资本要素获取上还未体现出明显优势。     

Incentive Targeting, Influence Peddling, and Foreign Direct Investment

We expand the traditional tax incentive redundancy argument by investigating the implications of allocating incentives primarily to firms that would have invested even in the absence of special tax treatment. Incorporating government revenue constraints, pliable tax officials, endogenous tax liabilities, and firms with heterogeneous before-tax returns, we show that tax incentives, if given to the wrong firms, are not only ineffective in stimulating FDI, but result in a form of tax shifting and may reduce FDI. Data from countries of the former Eastern Bloc suggests that tax incentive schemes have significantly negative impacts on FDI in countries that poorly target firms.     

The Influential Factors on Outward Foreign Direct Investment: Evidence from the “The Belt and Road”

ABSTRACT

In this article, we investigate the nonlinear impact on outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) using panel smooth transition regression (PSTR) model with the sample of 12 countries along “The Belt and Road Initiative” in the period of 2010–2015. We find that both overall economic freedom (EF), the interaction of EF and institutional instance, bilateral trade, GDP, and patent significantly influence OFDI. We also demonstrate that EF and economic development exert the inverted “U” effect on OFDI in the different regime. Accordingly, policies specifically designed to increase development of OFDI should be required to address the negative effects considering the differences of EF and economic development.     

Tax Treaties and Foreign Direct Investment: Potential versus Performance

Bilateral tax treaties are an important method of international tax cooperation. I survey the existing literature on these agreements, highlighting the differences between the standard view that treaties increase foreign direct investment and the empirical evidence that finds little support for this. I also discuss the key differences in treaty formation between developed countries relative to that between developed and developing nations.
