Download or read book Foreign Direct Investment in China written by Ziliang Deng and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-03-01 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an insightful exploration of whether foreign direct investment (FDI) can promote the productivity of domestic enterprises. The book is based on a series of dedicated research conducted in the context of the Chinese economy, which has been the largest FDI host among the developing economies since 1993. The main themes of this book are (a) based on the latest literature and first-hand research, outlining possible mechanisms through which foreign direct investment could promote the productivity of domestic enterprises; (b) developing a comprehensive research framework to quantify the spillover effects with cutting-edge methodology; (c) constructing a decision support system for evaluating FDI policy reforms with advanced computer simulation techniques; (d) evaluating the broader impact of FDI spillovers on banking system and trade pattern. The book examines topical economic issues in the contemporary world economy from innovative perspectives, namely, how the presence of multinational enterprises has been one of the most important microeconomic drivers for the Chinese economy, how foreign banks have helped to enable Chinese banking system survive the global financial crisis, and how the domestic enterprises have learned to do exports from multinational affiliates and have changed the landscape of U.S.-Asian trade. The book incorporates the latest development of economic theory as well as computational economics model.

This book was released on 2019-09-04 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2018 in the subject Economics - Industrial Economics, grade: 1,0, University of Mannheim, language: English, abstract: The following thesis will answer the question: Did China develop a competitive domestic automotive industry? Therefore, the rest of the bachelor thesis is structured as follows: The next section will give an overview of the history and the current market structure of the Chinese automotive industry. The second section contains a literature review of the theory and the empiricism of spillover effects originating from Joint Ventures with foreign enterprises and Foreign Direct Investment. Subsequently, in the third section, the related literature is applied on the case of the Chinese automotive industry. The fourth section presents an application of the infant industry protection argument on the Chinese automotive industry. The fifth section includes an analysis of trade data in order to access the competitiveness of the Chinese automotive industry. Afterwards, there will be a conclusion and an outlook of the possible future developments of the Chinese automotive industry. Since the beginning of economic reforms in China, protection, Joint Ventures, and Foreign Direct Investment played a significant role in the Chinese economic policy to promote industrial development. This is also the case for one of the global most important industries; the automotive industry. The automotive industry is a pillar industry with a vast number of linkages throughout the economy and plays a major role in driving China's economic growth and in ensuring employment. The Chinese government followed the idea of an infant industry protection argument and imposed tariffs and quotas on automobiles and automobile components to promote the development of the automotive industry. Further, the policymakers strived for spillovers originating from foreign Joint Venture partners and Foreign Direct Investment. Like other Chinese industries, the automotive industry experienced massive growth over the last four decades, making China, since 2008, the economy with the largest automobile output globally, surpassing Germany, the US, and Japan. However, there does not exist a single Chinese automobile brand, which can sell more than a few of its Chinese branded cars in the markets of developed countries. This situation raises some questions about the real strength and competitiveness of the Chinese automotive industry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses two of the most important trends in political economy during the last two decades - globalization and decentralization - in the context of the world's most rapidly growing economic power, China. The intent is to provide a better understanding of how local political and economic institutions shape the ability of Chinese state-owned firms to utilize foreign direct investment (FDI) to remake themselves in the transition from inefficient and technologically backward firms into powerful national champions. In a global economy, the author argues, local governments are increasingly the agents of industrial transformation at the level of the firm. Local institutions are durable over time, and they have important economic consequences. Through an analysis of five Chinese regions, the treatment seeks to specify the opportunities and constraints that alternative institutional structures create, how they change over time, and ultimately, how they prepare Chinese firms for the challenge of global competition.
Book Synopsis Foreign Direct Investment, Intra-organizational Proximity, and Technological Capability by : Kyung-min Nam
Download or read book Foreign Direct Investment, Intra-organizational Proximity, and Technological Capability written by Kyung-min Nam and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation consists of three self-contained essays, each of which examines part of the causal link among inward/outward foreign direct investment (FDI), intra-organizational proximity, and in-house technology development performances. The first essay explores why international joint ventures (IJVs)-an FDI-hosting arrangement often employed by the global South to strengthen foreign investors' commitment to local economic development-may lead to only partial success in nurturing local technological capability. The experience of China's passenger vehicle sector demonstrates that, in the existence of a substantial technological-capability gap between alliance partners, the IJV arrangement is likely to create a "passive" learning mode where foreign firms determine what, when, and how their local IJV partner firms should learn. Accordingly, learners using this IJV arrangement may be able to strengthen their production capability, where interests of both IJV partner firms often converge, but it leaves their project-execution and innovation capabilities largely undeveloped. The second essay discusses how outward FDI can complement the IJV-based technological capability-building process, through an analysis of the Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation (SAIC) case. When a firm is upgrading its technological capability, outward FDI can allow learners to have access to human-embedded skills and knowledge and other intellectual assets that are hardly accessible through the inward globalization strategy. Access to a wide range of external resources is a critical ingredient for improving technological capability, and it can also promote self-learning capability by encouraging subsequent learning-by-doing practices. Accordingly, outward FDI can augment "active" nature in the "passive" learning mode created by the inward globalization strategy. The last essay examines why intra-organizational proximity matters for the technological catchup process, through a comparison of the Chinese Big Three automotive groups. As a firm's asset-seeking inward/outward globalization strategy and domestic mergers are accompanied by substantial growth in their organizations and assets, intra-firm governance affects the internalization outcome of the acquired assets. The comparative analysis demonstrates that SAIC surpasses the First Automotive Works and the Dongfeng Motor Group in terms of in-house technology development partly because the former has managed its corporate growth within a tight geographical and relational space, compared to the latter. Intra-organizational proximity contributed to SAIC's technological capability-building process by encouraging the sharing and integration of acquired resources across sub-operational units, thus creating group-wide synergy for the effective internalization of the resources.
Book Synopsis After WTO Accession by : Sarah Yanyue Yu
Download or read book After WTO Accession written by Sarah Yanyue Yu and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Looking at the evolution of the automotive industry since 2001, it is quite beneficial and important to see how the government policy affected the utilisation of FDI in China. There is increasing interest in the utilisation of foreign direct investment (FDI) on host country productivity. An extended historical case study was used to examine changes in policy, regulation and the organisation of the national management concerned with FDI. The period examined was from 2001 to 2009 of WTO accession in the way the government managed the domestic and international circumstances that impacted on FDI. This study contributed to the existing literature on the utilisation of FDI of China's automotive industry after WTO accession. The study illustrated the merit and demerit of China's automotive industry policies. The research highlighted the need for appreciation of government policies. The results of the study revealed a high level of China's automotive policies and the maximum utilisation of FDI to supervise the industry. The intercultural conception and integration of operation ideas and practices are likely to come about when East meets West in an open, reflective and global context.

Abstract: Abstract of thesis entitled "Spillovers from Foreign Direct Investment: Evidence from the Chinese Manufacturing Sector" Submitted by HU Youxin for the degree of Master of Philosophy at The University of Hong Kong in August 2003 It is widely believed that FDI has positive spillovers on domestic industry. But empirical studies find conflicting evidence on the spillover impact of FDI. In this industry level study, industrial census data on individual firms for 1995 and 1997 are used to investigate the spillover effect of foreign direct investment. We estimate the association between FDI presence and productivity or productivity growth of domestic manufacturing industry. We consider both intra-industry and inter-industry spillover separately. We also investigate different spillover effect regarding the sources of FDI. First, we examine the relation between FDI presence and productivity in 1995. Second, to avoid the causality problem, we examine the impact of FDI presence in 1995 on productivity growth through 1995-1997. Finally, considering the policy differences across different geographic regions, we divide the full sample into 4 sub-samples by the level of openness and examine their spillovers effects separately. The estimation results offer limited support for the existence of positive spillovers. In particular, inter-industry FDI originated from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan is positively iand significantly associated with the growth of domestic productivity only in the provinces most open to foreign businesses in China. More often, we find the presence of FDI to be negatively correlated with the growth of domestic productivity in specific regions.

Book Synopsis Market Entry Concepts of Chinese Automotive Companies into the European Market by : Ramona Blietz

This book was released on 2016-11-08 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2015 in the subject Economics - International Economic Relations, grade: 1,3, Berlin School of Economics and Law (IMB), language: English, abstract: This paper investigates Chinese automotive companies’ internationalisation activities into the European market. They are still short on experience and young in history. Since the Chinese economy has only gradually liberalised after 1978, the industry has been highly influenced by joint venture activities with foreign automobile companies in China.12 years ago, Chinese automotive companies started to internationalise. Dunning’s eclectic paradigm is utilized as academic foundation and related motives and entry modes are aligned to current Chinese activities. In early attempts to enter Europe there was a predominant resource-seeking motive, while later market-seeking reasons became more obvious and have dominated the activities since. So far, ownership-specific advantages do not play a major role in terms of valuable intangible assets like patents, whereas location specific determinants are significant, especially in terms of governmental impact. Additional home market advantages in labour endowment, resources, legal environment and strong finan- cial resources give Chinese automakers an edge and prepare them to further internationalise. However, regarding all OLI forces, there are still no outweighing advantages over European competitors. The interviewed experts do not expect a noticeable market entry with significant sales volume within the next ten years. To date, Chinese exports and FDI in Europe are the most relevant modes even though visibility is marginal. According to industry experts, companies like Qoros, BYD and Geely are possible candidates to succeed on the European market in the future. Other brands, which failed to enter Europe, e.g. due to lacking safety standards, are yet still opinion-forming. It is concluded, that if China’s automotive industry consolidates and advances technologically, it will be prepared to successfully compete on global markets, in particular Europe. The acquisition of European car manufacturers represent – in this context – a feasible possibility to speed up the process and offset technological deficiencies.

Abstract: Abstract of thesis entitled "Essays on Spillover Effects from Foreign Direct Investment in China and Internal Promotions in the Government of Qing China" Submitted by Siyang Liu for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy at University of Hong Kong in August 2007 This dissertation is composed by two researches. Based on a industry survey dataset of China, the first study is to check whether Foreign Direct Investment generates productivity spillovers to other firms in the same industry. The second one utilizes historical archives of Mandarins' resume in Qing China (1644-1911), to see the contributions to promotions from education and working experiences, as well as other factors, in the setting of Internal Labor Market. Using a comprehensive dataset covering all manufacturing firms in China between 1998 and 2003, the spillover effects from foreign practice in China are examined. This research, using a model with distance attenuator, shows that spillovers to the domestic exist in a certain geographical scope, and diminish as distance expands. In other words, foreign participated firms demonstrate more productivity spillover to the firm nearby. And the foreign, having productivity advantages to some extent, is able to get extra benefits from other foreign firms, but fails to select better-performed sectors of China to participate in. This second research utilizes a dataset assembled from the personnel archives of 3,311 officials in the Qing dynasty spanning between JiaQing (1796-1820)'s Reign and XuanTong (1909-1911)'s Reign. It chronicled 17,000 career changes of those officials and tracked thousands of events occurred during this period. Qing dynasty has often been argued as the greatest dynasty in the history of China, and its government administration has been considered as highly efficient and capable. Based on the unique dataset of personnel archives with the econometric technique of Ordered Probit Model, this research aims at uncovering the promotion mechanism of officials in the Qing government and also investigating the determinants for promotion in the Qing dynasty. The results show that, higher educational certificate is vital in one's career's later stage for cherishing high-rank posts. Without it, it is impossible for them in climbing on high positions of the bureaucracy. Three barriers are found in the administration hierarchy, which is hard for government officials to climb. Furthermore, some factors, such as foreign experience, getting Outstanding' evaluations in government self-inspections and successful military conductions also contributes a lot to promotions.

This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2014 in the subject Business economics - Investment and Finance, grade: 1,0, University of Applied Sciences Dortmund, course: International Management - International Business, language: English, abstract: Fuelled by integration, trade liberalisation and deregulation the global economy is transforming into an interdependent system. Within this development the internationalisation of companies from developed countries only marked a first stage. The second and current stage sees the rise of emerging market firms investing not only into neighbouring but also into highly developed markets (Baskaran & Chaarlas, 2012; Gaur & Kumar, 2010; Goldstein, 2007a; Karl P Sauvant, Maschek, & McAllister, 2009; Williamson, Ramamurti, Fleury, & Leme Fleury, 2013). This trend challenges established internationalisation theories claiming that emerging market firms initially only invest into economies less developed than their own. Therefore it serves as a present, important and moreover heavily discussed area of research (Mathews, 2006; C. Wang, Boateng, & Hong, 2011; C. Wang, Hong, Kafouros, & Boateng, 2012).
Book Synopsis Are There Productivity Spillovers from Foreign Direct Investment in China? by : Galina Hale
Download or read book Are There Productivity Spillovers from Foreign Direct Investment in China? written by Galina Hale and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We review previous literature on productivity spillovers of foreign direct investment (FDI) in China and conduct our own analysis using a firm-level data set from a World Bank survey. We find that the evidence of FDI spillovers on the productivity of Chinese domestic firms is mixed, with many positive results largely due to aggregation bias or failure to control for endogeneity of FDI. Attempting over 2500 specifications which take into account forward and backward linkages, we fail to find evidence of systematic positive productivity spillovers from FDI.
Book Synopsis Foreign Direct Investment by : Yingqi Wei
Download or read book Foreign Direct Investment written by Yingqi Wei and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book consists of detailed case studies of foreign direct investment (FDI) in China, India, Ireland, Malaysia, Mexico and Sub-Saharan Africa, providing a critical review of the determinants and impact of FDI on growth and development, employment, technology transfer and trade. The expert contributors examine a range of controversial issues including the contribution of the relatively large volume of FDI in China to its growth, whether India should fully liberalise its FDI regime and the impact of Mexico's membership of NAFTA on the volume of FDI it has attracted. Malaysia's economic policies, which appear to have attracted relatively large volumes of FDI but failed to generate the hoped for transmission of technology and skills are also questioned, along with the role of corruption in limiting the contribution of FDI to achieving social goals in Sub-Saharan Africa. The impressive record of the Irish Republic in attracting and harnessing FDI to development objectives is examined closely and provides a detailed analysis of policies likely to promote efficient utilisation of FDI.
