人民币现金境外需求规模的间接测算研究:1999-2008

本文基于1978年至2008年的年度数据和缺口估算法,通过构建一个货币需求函数的计量模型,对1999年至2008年的人民币境外持有规模进行了估算,估算结果表明,在1999年至2008年间,境外人民币的需求占人民币现金总量的比率均值为7.62%,且流通规模呈逐年递增之势。最后,本文进行了总结并提出相关政策建议。     

Japan's FDI drivers in a time of financial uncertainty. New evidence based on Bayesian Model Averaging

In this paper we analyse the determinants of Japanese outward FDI stock for the period 1996–2017. This period is especially relevant as it covers a process of increasing economic globalization and two financial crises. To this aim, we consider a large set of candidate variables based on the theory as well as on previous empirical analysis. Our sample includes a total of 27 host countries. We select the covariates using a data-driven methodology, the Bayesian Model Averaging (BMA) analysis. Moreover, we also analyse whether these determinants change depending on the degree of development (emerging vs developed) or the geographical areas (EU vs East Asia) of the countries considered. We find that Japan's FDI can be explained by a wide variety of variables, that include not only the typical gravitational ones but also institutional and macroeconomic variables, including those that measure financial development. Moreover, Japanese FDI can be explained by both horizontal and vertical FDI motives in the groups of countries analysed. However, in developed, and more precisely, EU countries, horizontal FDI strategies are predominant, whereas for East Asian and emerging countries, there is more evidence in favour of vertical FDI.     

“一带一路”沿线国家投资便利化:水平、挑战与对策--基于熵值法的测度分析

"一带一路"沿线国家市场需求和发展潜力巨大,提升其投资便利化水平对于我国扩大对沿线国家直接投资规模和提升投资质量意义重大。本文基于沿线国家的特点,选取基础设施、制度环境、金融市场、劳动力市场4项一级指标和20项二级指标系统地构建投资便利化水平测度体系,并运用熵值法测度"一带一路"沿线国家2014年-2018年的投资便利化水平,发现沿线国家投资便利化水平呈逐年上升态势,但差异大,区域不平衡性显著,且投资便利化水平与经济发达程度呈正相关关系。在此基础上,结合当前中国对沿线国家开展直接投资所面临的挑战,提出中国与沿线各国应加强合作,共同推进基础设施建设,维护透明高效的制度环境,深化双边金融合作,积极发展本国劳动力市场等对策建议。     

外商直接投资对中国企业创新的外溢效应研究：基于垂直联系的视角

利用世界银行对中国的企业调研数据,本文从垂直联系视角考察了FDI对中国企业创新的外溢效应。分析的结果表明,垂直联系有利于企业创新与技术溢出。并且,与水平溢出相比,垂直联系渠道发生的溢出更为显著。对垂直联系影响因素的分析表明,拥有外方合作伙伴、位于工业园或出口加工区、加入商业协会、企业拥有较高的国内市场份额、国内市场进口产品份额较高、受国外教育经理的人数比例越高,这些因素均有利于企业垂直联系的建立。然而,企业的出口倾向对前后向联系的作用相反。     

Effect of foreign GAAP earnings and Form 20-F reconciliations on revisions of analysts' forecasts

A controversial area of U.S. securities regulations involves the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) financial reporting requirements for foreign firms, specifically, the necessity of providing a quantitative reconciliation to U.S. GAAP (Form 20-F). The results of earnings-returns research to date indicate that the release of foreign GAAP earnings provides important information. However, the results of earnings-returns studies using reconciled information are mixed. Instead of using an earnings-returns methodology adopted in prior research, this study utilizes analysts' revisions as a market indicator of the effect of information released in foreign GAAP earnings and the reconciled information in Form 20-F. Additionally, the study investigates the influence of four firm-specific variables in the firm's information environment—similarities of accounting systems, analyst following, difference between reconciled earnings and foreign GAAP earnings, and dispersion of analysts' expectations—on positive abnormal revision activities of financial analysts at the time of filing Form 20-F.The results indicate that the release of foreign GAAP earnings (at earnings announcement dates) and reconciled information (at the time of filing Form 20-F) contains relevant information as measured by analysts' revisions. Further, variables representing analyst following, change in reconciled earnings, and dispersion of analysts' expectations are significant in explaining the variation observed in positive abnormal revisions.

日本企业应对外贸摩擦的经验研究

在如何应对国际贸易摩擦方面,日本企业积累了许多成功的经验:通过对外直接投资不但有效地缓和了贸易摩擦,而且加速了日本产业结构的调整与升级、加速了日本经济的国际化,促进了以日本为核心的区域性经济合作圈的形成,增强了日本在国际贸易摩擦谈判中讨价还价的能力;通过产品开发的新战略和确保市场竞争优势战略等战略的实施进一步拓展了国际市场;通过防卫性公关与进攻性公关密切配合有效地化解了日本在贸易摩擦中的被动局面;通过引进技术与加强自主创新相结合使日本企业在日趋激烈的国际贸易摩擦中始终处于比较主动的地位;通过构建国际贸易摩擦预警机制使日本政府、企业和行业协会密切配合,进一步提高了应对国际贸易摩擦的效率。

外贸结构的非均衡机理探索

经济结构呈现非均衡的常态特征。在市场不完全、信息不充分、外生条件不统一等因素的制约下,一国外贸结构形成的资源配置效率通常低于均衡世界里的帕累托最优效率,是一种“次优”均衡;这种非均衡模式可能在受到外在冲击时或通过内生演进的方式发生改变,并通过进出口商品结构、贸易方式结构等表现出来。外贸结构非均衡的核心特征是进出口商品的要素密集度高低,并与比较优势和后发优势联系在一起,成为外贸结构非均衡演进规律的主要内容。     

Should I stay or should I go? Foreign direct investment,employment protection and domestic anchorage

This paper examines theoretically and empirically how employment protection legislation affects location decisions of multinationals. We depart from the “conventional wisdom” by examining not only the effect of protection on inward foreign direct investment (FDI), but also a country’s ability to “anchor” potential outward investment. Based on our simple theoretical framework, we estimate an empirical model, using data on bilateral FDI and employment protection indices for OECD countries, and controlling for other labour market institutions and investment costs. We find that, while an “unfavourable” employment protection differential between a domestic and a foreign location is inimical to FDI, a high domestic level of employment protection tends to discourage outward FDI. The results are in line with our conjecture that strict employment protection in the firm’s home country makes firms reluctant to relocate abroad and keeps them “anchored” at home.
