税收政策对外商直接投资(FDI)影响的国外研究综述

税收政策作为东道国体制和法律因素的重要组成部分 ,和其他各种因素共同影响着FDI的流动。但是 ,如何衡量税收政策影响作用的大小历来就是一个争论不休的话题。大多数早期的计量分析和现场调查研究都得出结论 :投资者主要是依据市场大小、政治因素来作投资决策的 ,税收政策对FDI的区位选择仅仅产生很小的影响和作用。而近来也有不少文献利用新方法得出结论 :税收政策对FDI流动有着重要影响。争论依然持续 ,而本文则是对现有的一些文献作出综述性的总结和回顾

外商直接投资在中国

外商直接投资（FDI）对中国瞩目的经济成长的拉动作用日益增大。随着中国加入世贸组织,FDI对中国GDP的贡献将更加显著。FDI的流入量从改革开放之初的几乎为零发展到90年代后半期的每年400至450亿美元。中国目前是仅次于美国的世界第二大FDI接受国,同时是发展中国家中最大的FDI接受国——FDI对中国的投入占对发展中国家投资总额的25％至30％。FDI对中国经济的贡献是多方面的。在整个90年代,FDI对中国GDP的贡献估计在2％至2.5％之间。直接表现为外商投资企业的兴建,间接表现为外资企业对内资企业积极的外溢作用。随着外资与内资企业间的联系日益广泛与深入,外资对国民经济的拉动作用将更加明显。在创造就业机会方面,截止1999年底,外商投资企业直接创造了600万

外商对华直接投资的贸易效应

运用计量模型分析发现,外商直接投资(FDI)与我国对外贸易总量二者紧密相连;FDI对我国出口贸易的促进作用大于进口贸易.FDI对促进我国出口总量增长及出口商品结构的调整产生了重要影响,其中外商投资企业的贡献尤为突出.     

外商直接投资与黑龙江省就业

外商直接投资(FDI)在带来资金和技术的同时,也会对就业的数量和质量产生影响.研究结果表明,在就业数量上,FDI时黑龙江省就业影响主要表现为替代效应,没有拉动就业量的增长;在就业质量上,FDI对黑龙江就业有促进效应,改善了就业水平,并推动了就业结构的转变.为利用FDI提高黑龙江省就业水平,建议:将就业效应作为选择外资的一项指标;通过生产型服务业扩大就业量;充分考虑外资对本土企业的影响;制定合理的法律法规加强对外资的监管.

外商直接投资对浙江省工业部门外溢效应的实证分析

如何衡量外商直接投资对东道国经济产生的效应,对东道国政府制定引资政策具有重要意义.我们以浙江省近几年数据为基础,运用平行面板数据模型方法,分析了外商直接投资对浙江省工业部门的溢出效应和竞争效应,得到的结论是:外商直接投资产生的正向溢出效应大于负向的竞争效应,即净效应为正,但数值相对很小,说明外商直接投资对浙江工业发展产生影响,但影响并不大.如何提高引进外资利用的效率,本文提出了几点建议.     

Impact of outward foreign direct investment: Evidence from Asia

The study makes an attempt to contribute to the ongoing policy debate on whether OFDI has a complementary or substitution effect on domestic investment and hence, growth. For the purpose, the current paper uses panel data analysis to understand the impact of OFDI for 14 emerging economies in the period 1981–2019. We supplement the cross-country evidence with a time series analysis for India, given that FDI outflows from the country have been steadily increasing over the years. The results confirm the positive effect of OFDI on economic growth, but the substitution effect for domestic investment. This indicates that the OFDI positively affects growth through its effect on trade and other positive spillover effect, rather than domestic investment. However, in case of India, the findings support the complementary effect of OFDI on domestic investment.

Public opinion and foreign policy: The effects of celebrity endorsements

Celebrities often use their popularity to advance international causes, but do they have an effect on public opinion regarding foreign policy? This study uses an experimental method to test whether a statement by Bono of the rock band U2 regarding a fictional foreign policy crisis influences public opinion more than a traditional political elite. Experimental participants were less likely to support the specific position advocated and less likely to be interested in following the crisis in the news when the statement came from Bono, though the results are dependent on party identification and how the scenario was framed.     

Financial efficiency and accounting quality: The impact of institutional micro-factors on FDI

In this paper, we explore whether factors such as financial markets and accounting qualities contribute to foreign direct investment (FDI). We use a unique data source: the survey data from World Economic Forum, to measure the efficiency of the financial markets and the quality of accounting standards. With this unique data, we demonstrate that financial markets and accounting quality are important factors of FDI inflow into a country. In particular, FDI is positively correlated with the strength of financial audits and reporting standards and venture capital availability for all countries. We also show that accounting quality measures are more important for developing and emerging countries than for developed countries. On the other hand, financial market measures, especially the access to venture capital, have a bigger impact in attracting FDI flow into developed countries. These results support the hypothesis that local financial markets and accounting quality affect FDI. The results have strong policy implications for governmental regulatory agencies.     

Observations on the relations between the transition of eastern European/central Asian economies,economic growth,and direct foreign investment

The first hypothesis tested, that free markets promote economic growth, is corroborated by data relating to the transition economies of eastern Europe/central Asia. The second, that free markets encourage direct foreign investment (DFI) is not validated by using one series that measures free markets, but is given credibility by using a seemingly more accurate regressor. The null hypothesis relating to the third hypothesis that there is no positive correlation between economic growth and DFI is not rejected. We conclude that all three hypotheses require further testing as data become more abundant.

Social investment,social service and the economic performance of welfare states

This article begins with an examination of the role of social services as the key instrument of social investment strategy, presenting an empirical analysis of its impact on economic performance. A pooled time series, cross‐section analysis was conducted with the data of 15 welfare states from 1990 to 2007 under the ‘social investment hypothesis’ that more social service orientedness brings about a greater positive effect on the economy. The results show that a larger share of social service spending in the total social expenditure – more social service orientedness – contributes to economic growth and labour market performance, whereas a larger aggregate size of the welfare state may have a negative effect on employment. In conclusion, this study suggests that the relatively ambiguous welfare strategy of social investment could be clarified as a ‘transition from income security to livelihood security’ in which emphasis is placed on social service. Key Practitioner Message: ● This study suggests that the key instrument of social investment strategy is social service; ● The results show that more social service orientedness contributes to economic growth and labour market performance.     

Inward FDI and growth: The role of macroeconomic and institutional environment

This paper contributes to the discussion on the role played by the absorptive capacities within host economies in their ability to grow and to exploit FDI efficiently. The outcomes for a sample of developing economies during the period 1976-2005 show differences associated to both the method of estimation (the system GMM vs OLS method) as well as the level of economic development. They also reveal the importance of controlling for those local capacities related to the macroeconomic and institutional environment. Thus, host country governments should develop a set of policies that are not only focused on inward FDI promotion but also on the improvement of their political and economic framework.     

Income support for Australian carers since 1983: social justice,social investment and the cloak of gender neutrality

Income support for carers has been available in Australia since the early 1980s. In contrast to most other forms of income support, eligibility for Carer Payment has been progressively expanded in recent years, and increasing numbers of carers are claiming the payment as a result. This article examines the history of income support for carers by reviewing changes in eligibility criteria in the social security legislation and considering how those changes were framed. We argue that reforms to carers' income support have developed within competing frames of social justice and social investment, with an increasing emphasis on a social investment discourse, which prioritises paid work over care. Neither of the dominant frames addresses gender equality, and in practice, income support policy has reinforced familial (women's) responsibility for caring. Given the gendered nature of caring in Australia, gender equality issues must be considered in future policy reforms to ensure that the competing pressures on women to care and to engage in paid work do not lead to greater disadvantage and inequality for women and the people for whom they care.
