外商直接投资区域变化与中西部地区引资困境

根据中国内陆地区对外开放程度逐渐加大、国家对西部开发的重视程度不断加强,以及外资投资区位转移的“雁行理论”等条件推理,内陆地区近年来引进外资的增长幅度应该快于沿海地区。然而,实际分析结果表明,1979年以来的外资由沿海向内陆地区的转移,从1997年开始停滞,中西部地区引进外资总体表现不佳。文章从“路径依赖”、市场规模、基础设施、劳动力素质、产业关联和投资软环境诸方面分析了形成这种现象的原因。在此基础上,提出了加快中西部地区引资的思路。     

EC INTEGRATION AND JAPANESE FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT IN THE EC

This study proposes two hypotheses to identify the cause(s) behind the short-term cyclical Japanese manufacturing foreign direct investment in the European Community (EC) in the late 1980s and early 1990s: (i) a catch-up process of Japanese firms in anticipation of EC single market integration in 1993 and (ii) the so-called bubble economic phenomenon caused by the overheated economy following expansionary monetary policy in Japan in the late 1980s. Applying multinomial logit models to the data on parent firms of 283 Japanese manufacturing subsidiaries established in the EC from 1988 to 1992 reveals strong support for the bubble economy hypothesis but not for the catch-up hypothesis. Results also show that under a bubble economy situation, tax-related incentive policies in host countries—e.g., an investment tax allowance for foreign direct investment—are quite important in attracting Japanese firms.

VOLUNTARY IMPORT EXPANSION AND DIRECT INVESTMENT*

This paper analyses the welfare effects of a market‐share Voluntary Import Expansion (VIE) in the presence of foreign direct investment utilizing a duality approach. Introducing the cost burden of VIE explicitly, this paper considers the conditions under which a market‐share VIE is voluntary to the importing country. It is shown that the voluntary nature of VIE depends upon the capital import, cost burden and price difference effects and that a VIE is truly voluntary if it is accompanied by direct investment. We also show the existence of a complementary relationship between VIE and direct investment in attaining a particular level of welfare.     

中国对外直接投资分析

文章对中国对外直接投资数量及投资地区进行了分析,认为我国对外投资的数量与发达国家相比还很少,这与我国在世界经济中的地位不相称,应该改善和创造条件,发展和扶植对外直接投资;而我国对外直接投资的地区分布则与各个国家和地区的经济发展水平比较一致。     

鄱阳湖生态经济区外商直接投资时空格局研究

通过对鄱阳湖生态经济区外商直接投资绝对差距、相对差距、集聚特征、外资利用水平和发展速度时空格局的深入分析,发现鄱阳湖生态经济区外商直接投资时空格局呈现以下特征:外商直接投资相对差异有所扩大,绝对差异有所缩小;区域集聚程度总体有所缩小,集聚格局由"二"型向"┴"转变;低水平区域由均衡向东北方向演化,高水平区域向南昌市和浙赣线集聚;低水平区域发展速度较快,缩小了区域总体差距。     

THE COMPLEMENTARITY BETWEEN ENDOGENOUS PROTECTION AND DIRECT FOREIGN INVESTMENT

This paper studies the endogenous relationship between direct foreign investgment (DFI) and trade restriction. A domestic labor union interested in both employment and wages bargains with a foreign firm and lobbies against foreign imports. By endogeneizing the wage rate and incorporating resource-using lobbying, we show that more DFI results in higher lobbying efforts and lower imports under fairly general conditions, i.e. a reversal of quid pro quo DFI. We also conduct comparative statics analysis on wages and lobbying efforts.

江苏省外商直接投资(FDI)时空演变及区位决策因素

1990年代以来,江苏省实际利用FDI增长迅速。随着时间的推移,FDI的利用方式、来源国或地区、行业分布都发生了较大的变化。FDI的利用在苏南、苏中、苏北之间以及县(市)之间存在显著的空间差异,借助经济计量方法,对空间差异形成因素进行了探讨,主要包括区位因素、经济因素、劳动力因素、积聚因素和对外开放程度等。     

CORRUPTION AND FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT: A PANEL GRAVITY MODEL APPROACH

This paper investigates the relationship between corruption and foreign direct investment (FDI) in the case of 15 transition countries by using a panel gravity model approach and suggests that corruption does not deter FDI.     

外商直接投资对江浙沪经济发展影响的比较

用1985—2006年的时间序列,就外商直接投资对长江三角洲的江苏、浙江、上海经济增长的短期和长期效应进行实证比较。从短期效应看当年外商直接投资对三地经济增长的需求拉动作用明显,对上海的效应最大,浙江次之,江苏最小。从长期效应看,超前两年的外商直接投资对江苏、浙江、上海经济增长的长期供给创造以及溢出作用明显,对浙江的效应最大,上海次之,江苏最小。无论是短期效应还是长期效应,外商直接投资的"质"对经济增长的效应大于外商直接投资的"量"的影响,故提出吸引更多高质外资的对策。     

HARD OR SOFT? INSTITUTIONAL REFORMS AND INFRASTRUCTURE SPENDING AS DETERMINANTS OF FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT IN CHINA*

We examine whether hard infrastructure in the form of more highways and railroads or soft infrastructure in the form of more transparent institutions and deeper reforms lead to more foreign direct investment (FDI). We use data on FDI from the United States, Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwanese and Korea to various regions of China from 1990 to 2002. We control for the standard determinants of FDI—regional market sizes, wage rates, human capital and tax policies. Then we add indices of hard and soft infrastructures. We found that empirically soft infrastructure consistently outperforms hard infrastructure as a determinant of FDI.     

AN OLIGOPOLISTIC HECKSCHER–OHLIN MODEL OF FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT*

We develop a 2 × 2 × 2 trade model in which one of the two sectors is perfectly competitive and the other is oligopolistic. The oligopoly sector consists of a given number of identical firms for each country, but they are free to locate in either country. The allocation of the firms between the two countries is endogenously determined, and changes in factor prices play a crucial role in establishing this equilibrium. Under this framework we examine the validity of factor price equalization, patterns of trade and gains from trade. Effects of technological progress and preference changes on firm locations are also analysed.

外商投资与天津电子信息产业群的形成演化研究

产业群是产业发展的一种内在规律,也和经济的对外开放程度有很大关系。文章以天津电子信息产业群为例,分析了外商直接投资对地方产业群形成演变所起的作用,认为大量的外资进入是产业群形成的直接动力,建立在供给与需求机制上的跨国公司与当地国有企业之间产业链的融合是产业群成长的根本动力。随着跨国公司在全球的投资目标和经营方式的改变,本地生产网络和全球生产网络格局发生了变化,对于这一类产业群,其持续的发展有赖于不断的制度创新。
