This paper focuses on the core issue that "whether FDI inflow will play a catalytic role in the host country's outward FDI". We select two big developing countries China and India, using an extended IDP model to have an empirical test. The result shows that, the original logic of IDP theory is established for both countries, that is, the level of economic development is an important factor...
Due to the rapidly rising ratio of dependence on foreign trade, China's economic growth risk is increasing continuously. This paper analyzes the effect of widening gap of income distribution in china by establishing a simple and applicable theoretical model. The widening gap of income distribution results in shortage of domestic demand, speedy increasing of investment and the internal structural imbalance...
Evaluating the impacts of rural road investment projects is a key content in the rural roads post-evaluation. A good rural road investment project impact evaluation provides the basis for sound policy making. However, because of the lacks of impact evaluation activities and methodology, it has been difficult to know how opportunities provided by rural roads actually filter back into beneficiary outcomes...
Using the data of Fujian Province over the period 1978-2008, this paper employs cointegration and Granger causality testing approach to study the relationship between Technological progress and Local government expending on Science and Technology. The empirical estimates show that Local government expending on Science and Technology and total factor productivity (TFP) has the long-term stability and...
In this paper we apply a Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) for measuring changes in total carbon emission efficiency between 1986 and 2008 across Chinese regions and then estimate driving forces of regional carbon emission performance (MCPI). A long-run relationship has been detected and the coefficients, estimated using Kao's method, are statistically significant mostly. Our results indicate the positive...
Most empirical studies in China and abroad concluded that: Foreign direct investment had positive influence on the technical progress of Chinese local enterprises. However, the conclusion was drew without considering the influence of changes in institution on Chinese total factor productivity. This paper puts the variable which representing changes in institution into econometric model, it's found...
Since Chinese enterprises act as the suppliers in the global value chain, the backward technology spillover dominate the technology spillover of foreign direct investment (FDI) in China. The paper conducts an empirical analysis into the impacts on Chinese productivity of the backward technology spillover of FDI in the global value chain, by introducing the related variables into the regression model...
This study considers how organizational slack (unabsorbed and absorbed) changes and affects firm performance in the different stage of IT investment. We test hypotheses using finance data (1994-2008) from 196 manufacturing listed companies in China. The results indicate there is higher unabsorbed slack in the early stage of IT investment, and there is higher absorbed slack in the run-in stage of IT...
The excess liquidity is one major problem China faced today. This paper analyzes the effect of the labor market distortion on excess liquidity by establishing a simple AD-AS model and then uses the relevant data as empirical test. Results show that the imbalance of macro-economy brought by the labor market distortion is the main reason for China's excess liquidity. In a closed economy, labor market...
The econometric model in this paper is estimated with the data between 1998 and 2006 in 29 provinces in China, and concludes that R&D has significantly positive contribution to productivity whereas there are individual differences in the contribution of R&D to productivity among provinces and that R&D in the east region affects productivity growth more instantly than that in the central...
In this paper, We adopt VAR model to estimate the technology sourcing effects of China's ODI on its domestic productivity growth and the contribution of two sources of productivity growth - technological progress and efficiency change, respectively. We examine these with data from China's direct investment in 8 developed countries during 1991 and 2007. We find the ODI to be strongly beneficial to...
Construction industrialization is the inevitable trend in construction industry. Construction industrialization could cut construction period down, improve engineering quality, increase labor productivity, save energy and exhaust less pollution and promote the overall level of construction industry. However, there is no clear conclusion about China's construction industrialization level. Based on...
This paper develops a new analytical framework account for the determinants of employment shares between industries in China. Empirical evidence shows that the first industry has the lowest TFP growth rate; the third industry is the second. The labor force would flow into the sector with lower growth rate of TFP if the price elasticity of demand is low. The employment share in the first industry would...
This article uses the provincial panel data of large and medium-sized industrial enterprises in China in1999-2007, exploiting growth regression method, to empirically study the relationship between capital deepening, the heterogeneity of technological input and growth of labor productivity. The results showed that: capital deepening explains 50% of the growth in labor productivity; R&D not only...
Paper develops an endogenous model to analyze the impact of education on total factor productivity. The econometric model including education expenditure, education spillovers and productivity is established. Using Malmquist productivity index method, the total factor productivity can be decomposed into technological efficiency and technological progress. Paper employs the panel data set in China...
For Small and medium-sized Enterprises, economic globalization has created new competitors, especially in low labor cost countries, but also greater incentives and opportunities to access the various markets and knowledge sources needed to build lasting competitive advantage through continuous innovation. Small and medium-sized Enterprises are a heterogeneous population of firms whose contributions...
This paper analyzes the growth trajectory of communication, computer and other electronic equipment (CCEE) industry over the period of 1991-2006 by Simple Logistic Growth Model and Bi-logistic Growth Model, the analytical results indicate that there are two different growth trajectories among them. The sub-industries belonging to the second trajectory have Granger Casualty relation with software industry...
R&D (Research and Development) has been widely regarded as the major driving factor to promote the development of High-Tech industries. With the development of High-Tech industries for more than ten years, efficiency and productivity of R&D have become a critical issue in China. Accordingly, the main purpose of this paper is to evaluate R&D efficiency and productivity growth of 16 High-Tech...
China's inward foreign direct investment (FDI) has grown at a dramatic speed and has become an increasingly important push to the economic growth across China after China's openness. However, whether dasiaMarket for Technologypsila Policy effectively promoted China's technological advancement turns out to be a main theme of FDI spillovers. An analytical framework of gross production function model...
In recent years modern logistics has developed very rapidly after the logistic conception had appearing in china more than 20 years ago. This paper assesses the technology progress of the logistics in China on the base of DEA (data envelopment analysis) method. The principle of DEA method is illustrated, the feasibility and superiority of the DEA method when it is applied in evaluating the technology...
