An Inquiry into the Effects of U.S. Multinationals on U.S. Intraindustry Trade

Abstract

This study is among the first to examine the relations and interrelations among variables that measure the activities of U.S. multinational enterprises and their affiliates through the use of data that has recently become available. None of the results seem to contradict, and a large number seem to corroborate many hypotheses of contemporary international trade and global marketing theory. An important finding is that a strong gross complementarity between the variables exists which results in the values of these variables increasing simultaneously. Hence, the levels of intraindustry and international trade also increase simultaneously. However, it is found that net substitution relations exists between a number of pairs of the variables considered.     

贸易逆差是否削弱了一国国际竞争力:美国经验

一国贸易逆差通常被认为会损害该国的国际竞争力。本文从美国巨额贸易逆差的成因入手,结合产品市场生命周期理论、国际分工现状两个方面分析逆差与竞争力的关系,认为美国巨额贸易逆差是美国经济增长与旺盛社会需求的结果,同时也是其国际分工、产业结构高级化的产物,由此反映出贸易逆差并未削弱美国竞争力。诸如日本、德国及印度等多国经验也显示贸易差额与一国国际竞争力的分离关系。因此,当前贸易差额已不能成为衡量一国国际竞争力的标准。

美国贸易逆差与经济增长并存及其原因分析

美国的巨额贸易逆差并没有和经济衰退、就业机会减少紧密联系,美国的贸易逆差和美国经济增长事实上并存和相辅相成.贸易顺差国的外汇储备为了保值增值源源不断流入美国,支持了美国的投资,而强势美元和美国资本市场优势是外围国资金流入的保证.大量廉价商品的进口降低了美国的通货膨胀率并促进了产业升级;同时,经济全球化是美国贸易逆差不断扩大的引擎,信息技术是美国经济增长和贸易逆差扩大的推动力量.     

美国奥巴马政府对外贸易政策的特点及我国对策研究

随着金融危机的爆发,美国面临失业率上升、高额贸易逆差、财政赤字加大等一系列问题,奥巴马政府相继出台了一系列政策以缓解金融危机造成的不利影响,这些政策呈现重视环境与劳工标准、促进就业、贸易保护主义抬头等特点。针对美国对华政策的新变化,我国应主动防范并规避贸易壁垒,深化实施市场多元化战略,加强对外贸易政策的协调性和灵活性,提高应对外部危机的能力。

U.S. International Deficits,Debt, and Income Payments: Key Relationships Affecting the International Outlook

A variety of issues and relationships will be of fundamental importance in determining the future paths of the U.S. current account, international debt position, and net international income flows. This paper describes the key relationships and presents projection results that illustrate the sensitivity of the outcomes to those relationships. Although the base case scenario presented in the paper shows a relatively benign outcome based on Blue Chip projections and the likely continuation of historical relationships, alternative projections help to illustrate the risks—and the potential sources of those risks— for a more adverse outcome for U.S. international deficits, debt and income flows.

美国对华贸易逆差对美国制造业失业率影响的实证分析

本文通过对大量经济数据的统计分析以及建立相关的经济计量模型,运用协整方法就美中贸易逆差是否是美国制造业失业率上升的主要原因进行实证分析.定量研究结果不但表明美中贸易逆差并非近年来美国制造业失业率上升的主要原因,而且还指出了造成美国制造业失业率上升的主要原因在于美国近几年来快速提高的生产率,以及美国对日本制造品出口额的大幅下降.最后本文给出了简要结论和相关建议.     

美元特权对美国贸易逆差的影响探析

美元特权的形成使贸易逆差成为输出美元的主要途径,并对贸易逆差起到了助长作用,集中表现在美元特权使美国维持着巨额贸易逆差而不受外汇储备短缺的制约和金融危机的威胁,却使其他追求美元储备的国家依靠贸易顺差和过度储蓄来摆脱不利处境,从而从供给和需求两个方面推动了美国贸易逆差的持续扩大。但贸易逆差的继续发展和未来的调整势必会影响美元特权地位的巩固,使世界经济特别是发展中国家的国际经济活动面临极大的风险。

Globalization of the U.S. Food Supply: Reconciling Product Safety Regulation with Free Trade

The pet food recall in the spring of 2007, its aftermath, and other reports of contaminated food imports have had an adverse affect on the American shopper's confidence in the safety of the nation's food supply. This paper argues that the responsibility for ensuring that imported food entering the United States is safe must be shared by the public and private sectors. The limited resources of public regulation need to be focused on high-risk, imported food products from countries that have weak export food safety regimes. Furthermore, public regulation must emphasize private sector incentives encouraging implementation of state-of-the-art food safety management programs.

以所有权为基础的贸易差额统计体系研究

传统的以一国关境为核算基础的贸易差额统计体系,已无法准确反映及把握全球化时代贸易投资一体化的经济运行状况。本文以美国1982-2003年数据为例,尝试通过将跨国公司的经营活动纳入贸易差额统计体系来重新审视美国经济,希望通过简单的统计方法调整阐明在经济全球化的背景下,建立以所有权为基础的贸易差额统计体系的重要性,说明贸易投资一体化下的美国经济的强大实力及长期发展潜力。
