吉林省风电产业外商投资现状、问题及对策

近年来,随着吉林省重点发展清洁可再生能源、实施打造国家重要新能源基地战略,吉林省风电产业外商投资呈快速发展的态势。本文通过调查吉林省风电产业外商投资的情况,分析了目前吉林省风电产业外商投资所面临的主要问题,并就此提出了相应的政策建议。     

房地产价格与房地产投资来源结构

近几年来,大量外资以及民间资本纷纷进入我国房地产业,而与此同时我国部分地区房地产价格出现了不合理上涨,为了探讨房地产投资来源结构与房地产价格之间的关系,本文运用1999年房地产投资以及销售的数据建立了二者之间的模型,回归结果表明:外资以及民间资本对我国这轮房地产价格的上涨起着重要的推进作用;国内贷款对房地产价格的上涨影响不大;债券投资对房地产的价格会产生抑制作用.     

The allocation of volatile aid and economic growth: Theory and evidence

We analyse, both theoretically and empirically, the growth effects associated with two components of volatile foreign financial assistance: ‘directly productive’ (or ‘tied’) aid and ‘pure’ aid. We find that scenarios in which aid can hurt the recipient's growth rate emerge only in cases where foreign aid is volatile. As a result, we conclude that it is only in conjunction with the presence of aid variability that aid allocation determines whether foreign aid hurts or promotes long-run growth.     

对外直接投资的贸易效应研究--基于中国经验的实证分析

对外直接投资与出口贸易之间的关系一直是相关理论和实证研究的争论主题。运用引力模型,对中国FD I的贸易效应进行实证分析表明:中国对东道国的直接投资促进中国对东道国的出口,但对从东道国的进口却具有替代效应。因此,大力促进中国对外直接投资,是促进中国的对外出口、绕开东道国贸易壁垒的重要途径。     

基于风险选择与投资收益的外汇储备币种结构研究

随着外汇储备规模的不断增加,国家外汇储备投资的风险偏好亦会发生相应的变化。借鉴 J. H.Makin(1971)的方法,构建外汇储备币种结构配置理论模型,讨论在效用最大化的情况下,储备资产投资如何在安全性、流动性和盈利性三原则间进行权衡。假设外汇储备仅投资于美元和欧元两种币种资产,选取2000年初~2014年第三季度的10年期美国国债和欧元区公债季度数据,运用协整分析、格兰杰检验等方法进行的实证研究发现：储备货币在外汇储备中的比重与储备货币收益率及其三阶矩显著正相关,国家外汇储备投资总体而言是风险规避型的。     

外汇储备:货币当局的困境与应对思路

中国货币当局在外汇储备的存量、流量管理以及汇率体制三个层面正同时处于两难选择的困境.作为一种理论参照,"永恒三角"对此的解释存在局限.进一步的分析表明,困境的现实根源在于中国迄今.出口导向、投资驱动"的经济发展路径.走出这一困境不仅需要金融制度层面的相应调整,还必须在实体经济层面做出根本性转变.转变的具体措施与优先次序必须加以慎重考虑.     

Foreign direct investment in OECD countries: a special focus in the case of Greece

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is considered as an important instrument for economic development all over the world. The aim of this paper is to examine the FDI inflows determinants for 24 OECD countries. To this end we employ annual data from 1980 to 2012 for a series of potential FDI determinants that have been identified as the most important by the relevant literature. Our empirical strategy employs both the standard fixed effects panel as well as a dynamic panel approach. The empirical findings highlight the importance of market size, trade openness, unit labor cost, schooling, taxation, gross capital formation, institutional variables, and ROA/ROE as significant FDI determinants. In the case of the dynamic panel model those FDI inflows determinants are not uniform for all country groups. Additionally, the results indicate that corporate tax rates clearly affect FDI attractiveness. This finding is robust when testing different countries subgroups. The present study has important policy implications indicating the factors that host economies should place emphasis on in order to attract FDI inflows. Policy makers should not only pay attention to the corporate tax rate level but they should also design a simple, stable and transparent taxation system that minimizes the relevant business risk.     

Transnational corporations' strategies and foreign trade patterns in MERCOSUR countries in the 1990s

Market-seeking strategies predominate in the recent FDI boomin MERCOSUR countries. In the trade performance of transnationalcorporation affiliates a sort of ‘asymmetric integration’is clearly visible: they produce for the internal market and,to some extent, for the regional one, while import inputs andfinal goods from developed countries (and a significant partof these trade flows is intra-firm). Thus, even if affiliatesobtained productivity gains in the 1990s, they have not yetbeen reflected in a significant increase in exports, and evenless in extra-regional exports. Hence, the foreign direct investmentboom seemingly has not yet contributed to a better insertionof MERCOSUR countries into the world economy.     

浅谈世界货币

货币出现在几千年前,历经数次“改头换面”,无论这种人们所接受的支付手段看上去如何,它总是反映了时代精神和国家个性。由此可见,货币是随着社会的进步、商品经济的演进而产生和发展的。货币涵盖古今、博大精深,研究世界货币不仅可以了解世界各历史时期的经济、金融状况,也可以通过货币了解各国不同时期的政治、外交、军事状况,甚至由此进入考古、文学、艺术等更为五彩纷呈的广阔天地。
