Does distance matter in foreign direct investment sub-national location choice? Evidence from China

Multinational enterprises (MNEs) make investment decisions according to the distance factors at a sub-national level. This paper made estimates using the gravity model with provincial foreign direct investment (FDI) data from 2000 to 2012 and employed three concepts of distance. Our empirical results indicate that geographic distance and cultural distance have significant negative effects on FDI flow, whereas economic distance has a significant positive effect. It suggests that FDI prefers to locate in regions that are geographically and culturally close but economically distant from the home country, which further implies that FDI in China is dominated by vertical FDI. Our findings suggest that Chinese provincial governments should place emphasis on attracting FDI from culturally close countries and provide institutional support to encourage and promote horizontal FDI.

Excess perks in SOEs: evidence from China

In investigating the relationship between economic directors (EDs) and excess perks in state-owned enterprises (SOEs) in China, we find a U-shaped relationship between the share of EDs on boards and excess perks, especially in SOEs controlled by local governments and with greater managerial power—as well as in regions with poor legal systems. The share of EDs on boards may have three benefits with respect to reducing the use of excess perks in SOEs: (1) replacing excess perks with monetary wages more aligned with the value of managers; (2) reducing the increase in excessive perks caused by the availability of free cash flow; and (3) reducing the use of excess employees to drive excess perks.     

Venture capital,innovation, and growth: evidence from Chinese metropolitan data

Using panel data from 282 Chinese cities from 2003 to 2015, we estimate the impact of venture capital (VC) on innovation, employment, and payroll in metropolitan areas. Controlling for endogeneity, VC investments are significantly positively related to metropolitan innovation, employment, and payroll in a fixed effects panel regression and dynamic GMM estimation. Using the number of IPOs (Initial public offerings) in the city as an instrumental variable to again control for endogeneity, VC remains significant. Our results show that VC is significantly contributing to the metropolitan economy as a whole by supporting innovation, creating jobs, and generating wealth in the local cities.     

区域中心城市创新生态圈要素架构、生态特征与运行机制

区域中心城市创新生态圈以生物学为隐喻,注重发挥创新主体的能动作用,能够放大区域中心城市发展优势。在回顾创新生态圈理论渊源的基础上,界定区域中心城市创新生态圈内涵,明确创新生态圈要素构成;以企业聚集发展为逻辑起点,探讨区域中心城市创新生态圈生态特征;基于生态学、创新理论等跨学科知识,构建区域中心城市创新生态圈演进模型,探究其运行机制。研究认为,区域中心城市创新生态圈具有开放式协同、动态自调节、多样性共生、自组织演化等生态特征,其运行机制由协同共生机制、风险识别与防控机制、利益分配机制和环境匹配机制共同组成。

“80后”员工组织支持感对离职倾向的影响研究

采用问卷调查法以及验证性因素分析、偏相关分析和分层多元回归分析等统计方法,探讨"80后"员工的组织支持感对其离职倾向的影响作用进行分析,并在影响作用方面与工作满意度方面进行了比较。结果表明,"80后"员工的组织支持感呈多维结构,可分为工具性支持感、情感性支持感、利益性支持感、价值性支持感和发展性支持感五个维度。"80后"员工的组织支持感总体对其离职倾向有显著的负向影响作用,并且单独地、利益性和发展性支持感对离职倾向具有显著的负向影响作用。"80后"员工的组织支持感比工作满意度对其离职倾向有更强的影响作用。
