我国海外投资对劳务输出的促进效应——基于跨国面板数据的实证研究

海外投资和劳务输出都是我国对外经济劳务合作的重要发展战略,并且在加入世贸组织后均取得了大幅度的发展,因此探明两者间的内在联系对政策推行有较大的借鉴意义。本文通过理论机理分析和跨国面板数据实证研究,表明在总体上我国的海外投资能促进对外劳务输出和劳务合作,但对不同收入水平国家海外投资的劳务输出效应存在较大差异,即对发达国家和最不发达国家的海外投资能促进劳务输出,对其他发展中国家的海外投资并不影响劳务输出。考虑到劳务输出数据的非负整数性质,本文使用计数模型进一步进行实证研究,泊松回归和负二项回归结果均再次验证对发达国家和最不发达国家的海外投资能促进我国的劳务输出。     

双重网络嵌入性对子公司成长能力有不同影响吗？——基于跨国公司中国子公司的实证研究

运用跨国公司在中国子公司的调查问卷数据,实证检验子公司的内部和外部嵌入性对子公司成长能力的影响,以及组织学习在这一作用过程中的中介效应。研究发现：内部嵌入性能够显著增强子公司成长能力,但外部嵌入性无法显著提高子公司成长能力。组织学习在内部嵌入性与子公司成长能力之间发挥中介作用。研究结果揭示出双重嵌入性对子公司成长能力的不同作用机制,丰富了子公司成长理论,从而为子公司持续成长提供指导。

新一轮国际产业转移的八大特点

当前,新一轮国际产业转移呈现八大特点:新技术、新产品转移;生产全过程转移;产业内国际分工体系深化;生产制造环节转移凸聚中间产品;国际服务业成为国际产业转移的主导产业;跨国公司开始实施新经营战略;跨国投资快速增长;配套、连锁转移加快;产业结构贸易结构出现新变化;形成全球化条件下开放经济国家发展模式。     

数治经济学视域下的金融资本全球化探究

金融资本全球化是指金融资本主导的以发达国家跨国公司为主要载体的垄断资本的全球化。资本的逐利本性、资本竞争、以信息技术为核心的新科技革命、发达国家的全球化战略等因素推进了金融资本全球化迅猛发展。金融资本全球化是经济全球化的高级形式,是金融资本新霸权在全球空间的体现,其本质是发达资本主义的金融资本从全球空间掠夺和获取霸权利润以加强与巩固自身霸权的过程。融入金融资本全球化进程是中国实现自身发展的必然路径。金融资本全球化对中国的经济发展具有双重效应,初期~XaY-面效应为主,随后负面效应逐渐凸显并不断强化。为了应对金融资本全球化带来的挑战,中国必须走自主发展之路。     

Willingness to work for multinational enterprises from emerging countries: The case of Chinese multinational enterprises in the Netherlands

How do perceptions of country-of-origin image (COI) relate to willingness of Western people to work for subsidiaries in advanced countries of multinational enterprises from emerging countries (EMNEs)? We seek to shed light on this question by exploring six hypotheses based on environment-processing metatheory. Applying a PLS-SEM analysis of online survey data from the Netherlands, we find that the COI and familiarity with the EMNE’s home country are positively associated with willingness to work. Additionally, we reveal a few mediating effects indicating that familiarity and individual difference are indirectly related to willingness to work. This study contributes to our understanding of the inability of EMNEs to attract talent in the Western world by adding a macro perspective to the human resource management literature. Furthermore, we extend environment-processing metatheory by expanding the focus from the perceived internal context (corporate information) to the perceived external environment (country of origin), as well as to the antecedents (familiarity and individual differences) of the perceived environment.     

Multinational country risk: Exposure to asset holding risk and operating risk in international business

We address the phenomenon of country total risk, confounded by the risk of holding assets abroad and operating them in the foreign market. The findings point to deep differences in risk patterns as ownership of intangible assets exposes the holders to a higher risk. Indeed, the asset-specific risk is the dominant component of advance market volatility, explaining more than 80 percent of the cross-sectional variance. The model in the study accounts for the deficiencies in the related research streams and attempt to alleviate the typical problems in popular estimation methods.     

Terrorism as an external threat factor in global value chains

Global terrorism incidents and business‐related threats have intensified in scale and scope over the past 17 years. Multinational corporations are thus exposed to direct and indirect negative impacts on their international activities. Previous research lacks thorough theoretical frameworks to analyze these impacts. The global value chain (GVC) framework offers a perspective that is both comprehensive and quantifiable for the evaluation and expansion of this prior research. The GVC enables us to assess terrorism impacts on international business overall and at each stage of the value chain. On this basis, we develop a “terrorism resilience theory”) that can be used in future theoretical and managerial analyses of the response to terrorism risk.     

Economic and strategic considerations surrounding Chinese FDI in the United States

The growth of outward investment from China has generated expressions of concern from policymakers in the United States regarding the economic and national security impacts of such investments. While inward foreign direct investment (FDI) has come to be viewed by most observers as generally imparting net economic benefits to the host economy, acquisitions of US companies by Chinese multinational companies (MNCs) have been criticized on several grounds. One is based on the mode of entry itself: some critics believe that entry by acquisition brings lower benefits than greenfield entry. A second and more prominent concern is that acquisitions of US companies by Chinese state-owned enterprises (SOEs) may be motivated by non-commercial objectives which, in turn, make those acquisitions of questionable value to the host economy. In this paper, we argue that Chinese FDI in the United States is more likely to take the form of acquisitions than greenfield investments for the foreseeable future. However, there is no strong case to be made that the host country economic benefits from Chinese FDI would be larger if entry took place primarily through greenfield investments. Furthermore, most of the alleged costs to the US economy from inward FDI from China are either unlikely to occur or are already anticipated by existing US laws and regulations, thus necessitating no additional, specific legislation.

Corporate Performance: Does Ownership Matter? A Comparison of Foreign- and Domestic-Owned Firms in Greece and Portugal

The paper investigates whether multinational corporations (MNCs) operating in Portugal and Greece perform differently than domestic firms. Departures from normality of firms’ profitability motivated the use of quantile regression. The results suggest that ownership ties do not make a significant difference with respect to performance of firms in Portugal. Results are similar for firms in Greece. Only when firms in the upper quantiles of gross profits are compared, MNCs are found to significantly perform better than domestic firms. MNCs have to compensate for their liability of foreigness that in spite of their technological advantages they cannot persistently outperform domestic rivals.JEL Classifications: F23, L10, L60, C21
