Spatial determinants of Japanese FDI in China

Research on foreign direct investment in China has spawned an increasingly large literature. Whilst regional cleavages with respect to the distribution of foreign direct investment (FDI) are acknowledged, empirical research on the spatial determinants of FDI in China has been limited. Furthermore, research on the spatial determinants of home country FDI in China has thus far been neglected due to difficulties in accessing the appropriate data. The objective of this paper is to examine the spatial determinants of Japanese direct investment in China by using an econometric model. To that purpose, a dataset is created from the Toyo Keizai directory on the overseas activities of Japanese companies. The results show that tertiary education, inland waterways, as well as coastal location are positive and significant determinants of Japanese investment in China.     

Outsourcing and trade in a spatial world

This paper provides an analysis of outsourcing and trade in a spatial model à la Hotelling. In this setting, we discuss the trade-off between transport-cost-related disadvantages and outsourcing-related production cost advantages of a large economy and we investigate how the existence of national transport costs influences both the structure of industrial production and the pattern of final goods trade. In addition, the model gives a rich picture of the possible welfare effects of trade liberalization. In particular, we show that a final goods exporting country definitely gains from economic integration, while a final goods importing country may lose. Finally, when lowering domestic outsourcing activities, trade liberalization may reduce world welfare, even if pro-competitive effects lead to a decline in consumer prices.     

结构异质性对中国能源高质量发展的影响研究

基于结构异质性对能源高质量发展影响的理论分析,使用稀疏主成分分析方法测度中国能源高质量发展水平,构建中国和八大经济区域面板分位数回归模型,实证研究了结构异质性对中国能源高质量发展的影响。结果表明：2003—2020年中国能源高质量发展水平有所提升,但仍存在明显的区域发展不平衡问题,西部地区和北部沿海地区的能源高质量发展水平更高。产业结构与能源高质量发展水平呈负相关关系,能源消费结构、资本配置结构与能源高质量发展水平呈正相关关系。     

云南省城市化与经济空间结构的演变和趋势

云南省经济空间结构正处于核心—外围二元结构的空间演化阶段,集聚尤其是中心城市集聚占主导地位,但有向外扩散的趋势。要注意协调好核心地带与其他地区的关系,发展相互间的经济技术合作,在重点发展核心地带的同时,充分发挥核心地带的扩散作用,带动全省经济社会的全面进步。     

考虑社会责任的异质有限理性制造商产量博弈均衡复杂动力学分析

通过考虑消费者剩余,企业利润中引入承担社会责任参数,建立了具有异质性有限理性的古诺寡头博弈竞争模型,分析利润相关参数对系统博弈均衡稳定性的影响,并进行了数值模拟。研究表明单方有限理性系统比双方有限理性系统稳定。产品成本超过一定阈值应避免产量竞争,可以通过承担社会责任,提升产品价格来增加利润,但当企业承担社会责任增加时,系统稳定性降低。此时降低调整产量的速度,观察竞争对手产量调整速度,避免系统进入混沌状态,失去最优产量优势。     

地区专业化的度量

在封闭经济假设和地区间需求结构一致假设下,本文构造了地区专业化的度量指标——地区专业化系数;这一度量指标更具一般性,产业结构差异系数、空间分布差异系数、绝对利差及行业分工指数等指标只是作为它的特例而存在。在讨论地区专业化问题时,如果忽略地区的(或行业的)相对规模因素,除了犯有逻辑推理错误外,在实践中还存在着可能得出错误判断的倾向。本文发现:中国工业的地区专业化水平自20世纪80年代中后期以来有了较大程度的提高;如果忽略地区的(或行业的)相对规模因素来讨论中国工业的地区专业化问题,则会高估中国工业的地区专业化水平。     

西部大开发战略与武汉城市功能的发挥

西部大开发战略的实施 ,为武汉这个中部特大中心城市的发展提供了机遇 ,如何顺势起飞 ,关键在于武汉中心城市功能的发挥。处于中部承东启西 ,九省通衢 ,基础强劲的武汉特大中心城市功能的发挥 ,也会有力地促进西部大开发战略的落实。武汉立足于其区位综合优势 ,从集散功能、生产功能、管理功能、服务功能、创新功能发展出发 ,借西部大开发之势重构和强化其金融商贸中心功能、交通枢纽功能、通讯信息中心功能、科技教育文化中心功能、生产和服务中心功能 ,是武汉发展和西部大开发的双赢策略。     

相关多样性对企业创新的非线性影响——基于上市公司的PSTR实证研究

依据雅各布外部性理论探究相关多样性对企业创新的影响，基于2007-2013年上市公司数据，运用PSTR模型实证检验相关多样性对企业创新的非线性影响。研究发现：相关多样性对企业创新有正向作用；随着研发投入的不断增加，相关多样性对企业创新产生非线性影响；企业所有制性质不同，相关多样性对企业创新的非线性影响也不相同；随着研发投入的不断增加且突破某一临界值，在更高的研发投入诱导下，中、西部地区相关多样性对辖区企业创新产生更为强烈的正向作用。     

A Spatial Structural Decomposition Analysis of Chinese and Japanese Energy Demand: 1985–1990

This paper proposes a spatial structural decomposition analysis to measure the effects of the changes in intra- and inter-country linkages on the embodied energy demand in the concerned country. For the empirical analysis, we have used the China- Japan inter-country input–output tables for 1985 and 1990, expressed in constant prices of 1990. The empirical results reveal that (1) at least for the period between 1985 and 1990, the effects of the non-competitive input structural changes in China on the primary energy requirements of Japan were negligible, and (2) the contribution of the Japanese final demand shifts on the total change in Chinese primary energy demand was 40 times larger than that of the Chinese final demand shifts on the primary energy requirements of Japan. The Japanese policy makers should concentrate on the energy impacts of the changes in the domestic production structure rather than the changes in the Chinese production structure.
