外商直接投资与我国产业安全

我国在利用外资过程中必须要维护产业安全。国家和民族利益的现实差异性是维护产业安全的前提；维护产业安全是各国的普遍做法，是对国际经验教训的总结，是维护我国根本利益的客观要求。为了有效维护我国产业安全，我们必须客观评价外资的作用，平衡利用各种外资方式，建立健全产业安全管理体制，增强国内产业竞争力，清理完善政府利用FDI政策法规。     

国际直接投资与中国农业产业结构升级

本文分别从需求和供给两个方面对农业利用外商直接投资促进农业产业结构的演化进行了理论和实证分析。从供给角度的实证分析表明，农业外商直接投资与农、林、牧、渔产业结构的优化具有密切关系，同时，它与农作物种植结构的改善也有显著的相关性。但是，农业外商直接投资与经济作物在种植业中的比重提高之间的关系并不显著，说明外商直接投资在提高经济作物的发展上还有很大的作用空间。从需求角度的实证分析显示，农业外商直接投资对农产品贸易增长的推动效应十分显著，对农产品出口结构的改善效应也很明显。

Foreign Direct Investment and the Performance of European Agribusiness Firms

This article analyses the relationship between foreign direct investment and the performance of European agribusiness firms. Motivated by the role of heterogeneous firms in new trade theory and using a firm‐level dataset, statistical analyses identify key differences between firms investing in foreign economies and those that do not. A binary choice model quantifies the relationship between firm characteristics and the decision to engage in foreign investment. Size and – less strongly – productivity are greater for multinationals relative to domestic firms. Furthermore, European multinationals are characterised by a larger debt to equity ratio and show lower labour and input costs.     

India as a Source of Outward Foreign Direct Investment

While India is an increasingly attractive destination for foreign capital, the country is also becoming a significant source of outflows. Many Indian enterprises view outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) as an important dimension of their corporate strategies. This paper presents some data on the magnitude and composition of Indian OFDI. It also discusses the rationale for and empirical determinants of overseas acquisitions by Indian companies. The empirical findings suggest that OFDI from India is not entirely different from that of other countries in that they are motivated by many common factors. There is evidence, however, that Indian OFDI is more market- and resource-seeking than OFDI from most other countries. The paper concludes with a broader discussion of the impact of the global rise of Indian companies on the Indian economy.     

The Geography of Foreign Direct Investment in Poland's Food Industry

In this paper a gravity model is developed to analyse cumulative FDI inflows into Poland's food industry during the 1990s. The FDI data is related to characteristics of 28 countries of investor‐origin. The results confirmed earlier studies with respect to important links between FDI, trade, and labour costs, as well as the general appropriateness of the basic gravity model formulation. Geographical distance was found to be a significant determinant of FDI in staple food industries, but not in high value‐added, branded confectionery, beverage, and tobacco production, suggesting that different industry‐branches might be globalised to a differing extent.     

Human Capital Development,War and Foreign Direct Investment in Sub-Saharan Africa

This paper traces the ethnographies of conflict and development in Sri Lanka on two levels of analysis. First, it examines two related discourses in the policy arena of Sri Lanka, one looking at the peace–development nexus, the other at the paradox of welfarism and clientelism in Sri Lanka's polity. Second, it analyses the political field of relief and development practice—its order and disjuncture—as it presented itself during times of ongoing warfare. The empirical studies build on ethnographies of a bilateral German–Sri Lankan development project operating in the war-affected areas of Sri Lanka. Four trajectories of politics and practices in aid and conflict are discussed to illustrate the ambiguities and complexities of multiple perceptions, rules and discourses, which influence the work of aid agencies operating in spaces of military contestation. The analyses suggest that clientelism as a deeply embedded system of ordering and meaning production can be found in both the peaceful areas and the war zones, though in different manifestations. Aid agencies operating in the context of clientelism and ethnicism may need to engage with combatant parties—to “dine with the devils” as it has been named—to build space for bringing aid to needy people in war-affected areas.     

Foreign Direct Investment,Absorptive Capacity and Regional Innovation Capabilities: Evidence from China

Innovation has widely been regarded as one of the main drivers of economic growth in the knowledge economy. This paper investigates the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) on the development of regional innovation capabilities using a panel data set from China. It finds that FDI has a significant positive impact on the overall regional innovation capacity. FDI intensity is also positively associated with innovation efficiency in the host region. The strength of this positive effect depends, however, on the availability of the absorptive capacity and the presence of innovation-complementary assets in the host region. The increased regional innovation and technological capabilities have contributed further to regional economic growth in China's coastal regions but not in the inland regions. It concludes that the type and quality of FDI inflows and the strength of local absorptive capacity and complementary assets in the host regions are crucial for FDI to serve as a driver of knowledge-based development. Policy implications are discussed.     

外商直接投资对中国农产品加工业影响的实证研究——增长、国内投资和就业

本文采用1999～2003年间中国农产品加工业12个次级产业部门的面板数据，通过建立计量经济模型，对外商直接投资对中国农产品加工业增长、国内投资和就业的影响进行了实证研究。结果表明，外商直接投资总体上促进了中国农产品加工业的增长，但同时也对中国农产品加工业国内投资和就业产生了一定程度上的挤出效应。在此基础上，笔者给出了几点简要的结论和相应的政策涵义。     

Analyzing Foreign Direct Investment Decisions by Food and everage Firms: An Empirical Model of Transaction Theory

Global trends in agricultural marketing include increased trade in processed foods, less intra-industry trade, slower growth in trade of bulk commodities, and intensified adoption of processing and biological technologies. These trends temporally lead to increased investments by firms in intangible assets and tighter vertical controls. As a result of these trends, in the context of international trade governance, there is invigorated interest in the causal factors related to the boundaries of firms.
Using transaction economic theory and an empirical model, this research analyzes the determinants of international trade strategy in the food and beverage industry. The quantitative analysis involves a nested logit model of a sample of domestic and multinational firms in SIC 20. The nested logit employed is based on a two-level nest of sequential dichotomous choice decisions regarding exporting and foreign direct investment (FDI). The first sequential decision is the boundary choice between remaining domestic or engaging in international trade of some form. The second sequential decision involves exporting or FDI. Model regressors include the size of the firm, level of product differentiation, intangible assets, research and development expenditures, long-term debt, capital intensity, the country of origin and business structure.

农业利用外资的国际经验

发达国家农业利用外资的历史相当早,可以追溯到十九世纪,当时以英国为主的欧洲投资者（包括德国、荷兰和法国）把相当多的资金投向美国,农业也是其投资的一个主要产业。近几年,发达国家农业利用外资主要是以外商直接投资为主。1997年流向发达国家（以美、日、加、澳及欧盟为主）农业（包括种植、狩猎、林业和渔业）的外商直接投资量为3.73亿美元,占这些国家当年外商直接投资流量的0.2%,从1988年到1997年,在这些发达国家中,外商直接投资于农业的内部存量,已由18.44亿美元增加到30.22亿美元,尽管如此,从全球农业利用外资的总量上看,发达国家农业利用外资只有很少一部分,农业利用外资主要集中在发展中国家。

Foreign Aid: Good for Investment,Bad for Productivity

Abstract

This paper examines the effects of aid on sources of growth: capital accumulation and total factor productivity (TFP) growth; the latter captures the effect on growth after removing the contribution of factor accumulation. Given the role of TFP in explaining cross-country differences in income levels and growth rates, the productivity effect can play a significant role in explaining the impact of aid on growth. Contradictory effects of aid were found: aid boosts investment but adversely affects TFP, suggesting that efficiency losses may undermine the overall effects of aid on growth. It was also found that aid reduces the efficacy of financial institutions in supporting productivity growth, a surprising result that possibly illuminates the nature of aid distribution in receiving countries.     

农业及涉农产业直接投资的决定因素与政策效应——基于企业调查的描述性分析

本文主要基于 42家农业企业的实地调查 ,对农业企业投资经营环境的评价、对各项优惠政策的反映、政策要求、企业面临的主要问题与制约因素等进行实证分析。结果显示 :农产品市场规模及其潜力、消费者对产品认同度、充沛的劳动力资源是促使农业及涉农产业直接投资的重要决定因素 ;而当地投资伙伴获得困难、融资困难、行政性收费过重、交通、供电等基础设施相对薄弱等可能抑制农业企业发展 ;税收优惠、信用担保、用地便利及优惠、财政贴息仍然是非常有效的农业引资手段 ;资金、高层次人才问题是困扰农业企业的主要问题 ,民资企业面临的问题更为严重。
