中国吸引外资的国际地位及趋势

20世纪90年代以来,外商直接投资(FDI)在全球经济中的地位越来越重要,FDI在中国经济中的作用也是无庸置疑的。然而,流入中国的FDI在今后是否能够维持或进一步发展,不仅仅取决于中国经济的自身状况,FDI在全球的发展规律和分布特点也起着非常重要的作用。因此,在研究FDI流动状况的     

FDI in space: Spatial autoregressive relationships in foreign direct investment

There are a number of theoretical reasons why foreign direct investment (FDI) into a host country may depend on the FDI in proximate countries. Such spatial interdependence has been largely ignored by the empirical FDI literature, with only a couple recent papers accounting for such issues in their estimation. This paper conducts a general examination of spatial interactions in empirical FDI models using data on US outbound FDI activity. We find that estimated relationships of traditional determinants of FDI are surprisingly robust to inclusion of terms to capture spatial interdependence, even though such interdependence is estimated to be significant. However, we find that both the traditional determinants of FDI and the estimated spatial interdependence are quite sensitive to the sample of countries one examines.     

我国对外直接投资的成效评价与发展对策

我国对外直接投资起步于1979年的改革开放初期,经过二十多年来的探索和发展,已逐步形成了一定的规模。近些年来,我国不仅一跃成为吸收外资的大国,在对外投资方面,也有较大的发展。商务部公布的统计数据显示,截至2003年底,我国共设立境外中资企业7470家,中方协议投资金额114.27亿美元,海外企业资本存量已超过300亿美元。目前,我国已成为发展中国家重要的对外投资大国,成为主动参与经济全球化的重要力量。对外直接投资的发展有助于促进本国经济的增长,它对国民经济的贡献是多方位的,也是综合性的,既有静态效益,也有动态效益。首先,在开放经济…     

合理利用外资加快不良资产处置

为推进金融体制改革,降低国有银行的不良资产率,1999 年,经国务院批准,信达、华融、长城、东方四家国有金融资产管理公司先后成立,分别接收中国建设银行、中国工商银行、中国农业银行和中国银行剥离的约 1.4 万亿不良资产。由于剥离的不良资产规模大、情况复杂,在经营主体单一、技术经验缺乏和专业人才不足的情况下,仅仅依靠四家资 产管 理公司和 国内 的 投资者,很难在规定时限按预期目标高效回收不良资产。为促进国有资产的增值保值,引入先进的资产处置技术和管理经验,提升我国的不良资产处置水平,有必要吸引境外投资者积极参与我 国不 良…     

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.     

Bank system reform and outward foreign direct investment of Chinese enterprises

Using a panel of Chinese domestic enterprises over the 2002–2008 period, we assess the effect of the state-owned commercial bank shareholding reform on the domestic enterprises' outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) decisions. We find that a modern market-oriented bank system significantly increases the likelihood of OFDI, especially for the purpose of facilitating trade and services.     

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.     

Trade costs and foreign direct investment

This paper focuses on an apparent conflict between the theory of foreign direct investment (FDI) and recent trends in the globalized world. The bulk of FDI is horizontal rather than vertical, and standard theory predicts that horizontal FDI is discouraged when trade costs fall. This seems to conflict with the experience of the 1990s, when trade liberalisation and technological change led to dramatic reductions in trade costs yet FDI grew much faster than trade. Two possible resolutions to this paradox are explored. First, horizontal FDI in trading blocs is encouraged by intra-bloc trade liberalisation, because foreign firms establish plants in one country as export platforms to serve the bloc as a whole. Second, cross-border mergers, quantitatively more important than greenfield FDI, are encouraged rather than discouraged by falling trade costs.
