外商直接投资、国际贸易与中国生产率增长研究——基于非参数Malmquist指数的经验分析

本文以1986-2003年的省级面板数据为样本,采用基于非参数的Malmquist生产率指数来度量中国全要素生产率的变化,分析了外商直接投资和国际贸易对中国生产率增长的影响。研究表明,外商直接投资和国际贸易显著地促进了中国生产率的增长,其对生产率增长的促进作用主要通过与人力资本相结合来实现;同时,其对中国生产率的促进作用主要体现在促进了技术的进步,而对技术效率的改善作用不明显。另外,本文还发现在1986-2003年间中国省级生产率增长和技术进步存在显著的收敛趋势。

对外直接投资促进了出口国内附加值率提升吗

针对企业对外直接投资是否提升了企业出口国内附加值率的问题,利用倾向得分匹配法为2004~2007年386家对外直接投资企业找到与其可比较的对照组,运用倍差法检验了对外直接投资对企业出口国内附加值率的影响效应。研究发现:企业对外直接投资显著提升了企业的出口国内附加值率,且这种促进作用随着时间的推移逐渐增强;投资动机、投资目的国的发展水平对出口国内附加值率的促进效应存在差异性;在使用不同的估计方法和替换核心被解释变量进行检验后,结论依然稳健。     

房地产投资的东道国选择分析——以东盟最大房地产企业新加坡嘉德置地为例

在世界经济全球化的大趋势下,许多房地产企业纷纷在世界各国进行跨国房地产投资。文章运用国际投资理论和房地产经济学理论探讨这些公司进行国际投资时的区位选择,在丰富房地产行业全球化理论研究的同时,在实践方面可能为我国房地产企业参与房地产行业的全球化,以及政府面对既要吸引外资、活跃对外经济贸易,又要有效监管维护经济平稳健康提供一定指导。新加坡的嘉德置地集团是东盟及亚太地区最大的跨国房地产企业,投资组合遍布世界20多个国家,尤以在东盟对话国家中国和澳大利亚的国际投资为多。分析嘉德置地的投资数据与此二国的经济社会变量之间的相关关系,可以在一定程度上揭示房地产企业在进行国际投资时选择东道国考虑的重点因素。

The value of self-stated attribute importance to overall satisfaction

This paper provides insights into techniques used to determine the attributes that influence overall satisfaction. A survey of zoo visitors illustrates several key findings relevant for both managers interpreting survey results and researchers designing studies. First, the assumption of importance-performance analysis (IPA) that self-stated importance measures the influence of attribute performance on overall satisfaction is endorsed. Second, relative importance is shown to be vital as it improves the prediction of overall satisfaction from attribute performance while absolute importance makes it worse. Third, techniques using self-stated relative importance are shown to be superior to statistical techniques such as regression, however new techniques using both self-stated importance and regression are shown to be even better. These findings apply generally to tangible products in marketing and management as well as to tourism services.     

跨越反倾销税的外国直接投资研究述评

征收反倾销税的目的是保护国内产业免受倾销的损害,但外国厂商通过直接投资方式跨越反倾销税壁垒,降低甚至消除了反倾销税对国内产业的保护效果,对东道国贸易与投资政策提出挑战。本文对国外关于反倾销税的外国直接投资效应、跨越反倾销税的外国直接投资对东道国国内企业的影响以及东道国政府的政策选择等方面的研究作简要述评。     

Can Direct Payments Facilitate Agricultural Commercialisation: Evidence from a Transition Country

We investigate the impact of direct payments on agricultural commercialisation in Kosovo. Kosovo is one of the poorest countries in Europe but, with European assistance, provides substantial funds to support agriculture, made up of many small and often semi‐subsistence farms. Thus, the effect of this support is a central policy issue. Identifying the effect of direct payments on market participation faces endogeneity issues arising from the possible simultaneous determination of participation in support programmes and market participation. In order to achieve proper identification of the endogenous direct payments, we use a strategy of targeted identification search that employs several different methodological approaches. We find that direct payments for fruit and vegetables, and those for cereals and oilseeds have a positive effect on market participation. However, we cannot identify any definite effect of livestock payments.     

Multinational Firms’ Motivations and Foreign Direct Investment Decisions: An Analysis of the Software and IT and Financial Services Sectors in the Irish Context

This article focuses on the way greenfield foreign direct investment (FDI) in different sectors is influenced by locational characteristics and explores the role of policy in attracting and retaining foreign investment. We contribute to the literature by empirically investigating the investment motivations of multinational companies in the software and information technology (IT) and financial services sectors in Ireland and those locational factors that contribute to the retention of FDI. The methodology used in this research is of a qualitative nature, and an exploratory deductive approach is adopted in order to gain an understanding of firms’ internationalization decisions and motivations. The data demonstrate that companies in the two sectors follow different investment motivations. Firms in the software and IT sector entered Ireland primarily because of the availability of a high‐quality workforce, whereas firms in the financial services sector entered Ireland following the deregulation of markets and the subsequent ease of doing business. The article builds on these findings to develop policy recommendations. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
