我国与其他东亚国家产业内贸易影响因素的实证研究

本文利用引力模型分析了我国与东亚其他国家或地区产业内贸易的影响因素，主要包括：GDP、DIST、GDPP、DGDP、FDI，即我国与另一国家的产业内贸易状况取决于我国贸易伙伴国的国内生产总值、与贸易伙伴国的距离、贸易伙伴国的人均国内生产总值、我国与贸易伙伴国的人均国内生产总值的绝对差异及贸易伙伴国对我国的直接投资额。产业内贸易额与伙伴国的国内生产总值、贸易伙伴国的人均国内生产总值及贸易伙伴国对我国的直接投资额成正比，和与贸易伙伴国的距离、我国与贸易伙伴国的人均国内生产总值的绝对差异成反比。     

东亚地区生产分工对其贸易结构影响的实证研究

自20世纪90年代,东亚地区形成了新的生产分工形态。生产阶段分工的形成引起东亚地区贸易结构的显著变化,其中最大的特征是中间产品贸易的增长。在设备、家电等生产阶段易于分散的产品领域,中间产品贸易的比重更高。生产阶段分工的发展还带来同一产业内的贸易、地区内贸易的迅速增长。     

Regional Currencies Versus Dollarization: Options for Asia and the Americas

This paper undertakes an empirical assessment of Dollarization versus regional currency union as options for the economies of East Asia, South America and Central America. We use summary indicators of bilateral integration to examine the determinants of real exchange rate volatility within each region and between each region and the United States. While Europe is characterized by a high degree of regional integration, there is evidence of increasing integration in East Asia and persistently low integration in the Americas, especially as compared to the levels of bilateral integration vis-à-vis the United States. Our estimates confirm the patterns of regional integration above and reveal substantial regional differences as to the determinants of real exchange rate volatility.     

Top management team characteristics and firm internationalization: The moderating role of the size of middle managers

This paper examines the influence of the top management teams' (TMTs) characteristics, including tenure and international experience, on the degree of firm internationalization. In addition, this study explores the moderating effect of the size of middle managers (MMs) on the relationship between the TMT characteristics and the degree of firm internationalization. This study use the information-process perspective to emphasize that MMs provide information processing capabilities that assist TMTs as they cope with the high information-processing demands of the strategic decision-making process in international markets. We test the hypotheses using a sample of listed manufacturing firms in the electro-optical and textile industries during the 2006–2010 period. The findings indicate that TMT tenure has an inverted U-shaped relationship with firm internationalization and TMT international experience has a positively affect the firm internationalization. Furthermore, we find that large MM size positively enhances the inverted U-shaped relationship between TMT tenure and firm internationalization.
