Download or read book The Political Economy of Chinese FDI and Spillover Effects in Africa written by Dominik Kopiński and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-10-26 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are the impacts of Chinese investment in Africa? Is it transforming economic development on the continent? This book is different from many other studies of this issue, as it unpacks the ‘black box’ of technological and learning spillover effects from Chinese firms to others. Rather than using econometric tools, which has now become a standard approach and come with their own set of challenges, the authors investigate the interactions between Chinese investors and African firms in terms of the transfer of technology and learning and explain why such interactions are rare. Only by understanding the reasons behind this rarity can approaches be developed to promote spillovers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines China’s political, economic, and diplomatic engagement in Africa. The rapid increase of China’s economic and political involvement in Africa is the most momentous development on the continent of Africa since the beginning of the twenty-first century. China is now Africa’s largest trading partner and the largest infrastructure financier. Additionally, it is the fastest growing economy and source of foreign direct investment. This monograph seeks to understand the dynamics of the escalating Chinese investments in African economies and the political implications of this development for Africa. This work will interest scholars, students, academics, and policy makers on the fields of Chinese and African politics, development studies, and international political economy.
Book Synopsis Spillovers from China onto Sub-Saharan Africa by : Mr.Derek Anderson
Download or read book Spillovers from China onto Sub-Saharan Africa written by Mr.Derek Anderson and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2015-10-06 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the impact of economic spillovers from China on sub-Saharan Africa (SSA)? This is an increasingly important question because of China’s growing economic role as a partner of SSA countriesfor both trade and the buildup of infrastructure in the region. The impact of spillovers from China has been an open question because of the challenge to use an internally consistent framework with solid economic foundations that accounts for both the direct impact China may have on individual countries in SSA through a variety of channels (trade, investment, financial) as well as the impact on the region through the global economy (economic activity and commodity prices). This paper explores those channels of transmission and provides illustrative order of magnitude for the short- and medium-term economic impact by using AFRMOD, a module of the Flexible System of Global Models (FSGM), a multicountry general equilibrium model developed at the IMF. Three alternative scenarios are considered: first, lower potential output in China that is originally misperceived as a temporary cyclical slowdown; second, structural reforms in China that aim to increase potential output; and third, a relocation of low-end manufacturing to sub-Saharan Africa.
Book Synopsis Spillover-effects, Crowding-in and the Contributions of FDI to Growth in China by :
Download or read book Spillover-effects, Crowding-in and the Contributions of FDI to Growth in China written by and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paper presents a review of theoretical concepts and empirical findings on the issue of FDI-induced spillover and crowding-effects in the Chinese economy. Against the background of the peculiar characteristics of China's FDI-inflows the paper discusses various research agendas and results. It finds mostly inconclusive evidence, which is understood to result from an insufficient analytical differentiation of FDI and host economy actors. On the 'supply'-side of FDI it seems to be necessary to include the parameter of 'cultural affinity' in the analysis and differentiate between Overseas Chinese and non-Chinese investors (with the latter probably featuring a greater potential for positive externalities). On the 'demand'-side it seems to be adequate to differentiate between the state and collective / private domestic sector and analyze their respective incentives to actively explore potential spillover effects and actually appropriate new technologies introduced by foreign investors. It seems as if the harder the budget constraints and the more competitive the environment, the greater the realized spillover effects. It becomes obvious that most existing studies are working with data that does not reflect the dynamic developments of the recent ten years. -- Foreign direct investment ; spillover-effects ; crowding-in ; Chinese economy

Book Synopsis The Impact of China's Trade and Investment on the Economic Development in Resources-rich Developing Countries (RRDCs) and Non-resources-rich Developing Countries (Non-RRDCs) in Africa by : Alpha Lisimba
Download or read book The Impact of China's Trade and Investment on the Economic Development in Resources-rich Developing Countries (RRDCs) and Non-resources-rich Developing Countries (Non-RRDCs) in Africa written by Alpha Lisimba and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract The emergence of the People's Republic of China (hereafter, China) as a significant economic powerhouse in the last decade has restarted intense and ongoing discussions about China's foreign policy objectives. Sino-African relations, especially, have gained considerable prominence in the last two decades, as it has been a broadly discussed subject globally. Despite the significance of this intriguing subject, empirical research that examines the impact and effect of China's rapidly growing trade and investment on economic development outcomes on its trading partner countries in Africa is limited. This thesis examines China's trade and investment presence in resources-rich developing countries (RRDCs) and non-resources-rich developing countries (non RRDCs) with a particular focus on two African countries, resources-rich Angola and non-resources-rich Rwanda. The central purpose of the thesis is to study how far, and in what ways, China's foreign direct investment (FDI) affects economic and human development in terms of the creation of employment and the transfer of skills and technology. These elements are important for local capacity building, increase in productivity and the overall economic development of these countries. The study, thus, attempts to make a contribution to the ongoing academic debate on the rise of China and its developmental impact on Africa. In doing so, the context and background of the study has been established by reviewing the existing literature. Three relevant theories of international political economy (IEP), economic nationalism and dependency theory have been identified as the theoretical basis for analysing the complex relationship between China and Africa. A comparative case-study and mixed method approaches have been used in this study, accompanied by both qualitative and quantitative methods of data gathering, with most data collected from independent and credible sources including the World Bank, United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China (MOFOCM), government reports and official documents, published books and academic journals. I argue that China's increasing trade, FDI inflow and influence on the economic growth and development of Angola and Rwanda have resulted in a long-term negative impact in their development outcomes and capacity building for future self-reliance. Angola and Rwanda have been selected for this cross-national comparison due to the recent increase in their economic collaboration with China. These countries were selected based on their different levels of economic development and resources, institutions, size of their economies, trade and FDI volume with China and the GDP growth rate. These factors made significantly interesting variables for the comparative examination. Although Africa, and the two case-countries in particular, have received a large volume of trade and FDI from China in the period following the launch of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation, (FOCAC), the results suggest that China's trade and investment has resulted in negative outcomes in Angola and Rwanda. The findings not only fill a significant gap in the literature but also challenge the claims that Chinese investment is a win-win for Africa and that all African states benefit from their engagement with China. One of the major findings of this study is that China has replaced the Western form of dependency with a new dependency of similar structure. It is argued that China's FDI contribution to the stable creation of employment and the transfer of skills and technology is limited. The flood of cheap Chinese products has been instrumental in increasing unemployment, particularly in Angola. Local manufacturers and retailers have been displaced and consequently their very survival is in jeopardy. China has established economic relationships with the two countries because it is in China's best interests. Unless a relationship to maximize their benefits is forged from the Rwandan and Angolan side, the economic dependence of these two countries on China will continue to increase. The thesis, therefore, concludes that the understanding of the rising role of China in Africa is a critical part of the current international political economy. The size of China's economic activities indicates that it is likely to have a significant role to play in shaping Africa's economic and political situation in the years to come.

Book Synopsis Spillover Effects of China Going Global by : Joseph Pelzman
Download or read book Spillover Effects of China Going Global written by Joseph Pelzman and published by World Scientific Publishing Company Incorporated. This book was released on 2016-01-30 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the People's Republic of China (PRC) was granted Most Favored Nation (MFN) status by the United States in 1979, no one imagined the massive transformation the Chinese economy would make within a few decades. China's remarkable transition from merely being a "world factory," to the source of the world's new R&D and product design and innovation since the 1980s is the key focus of Spillover Effects of China Going Global. In this insightful and unique book, Joseph Pelzman shows how the second largest world economy triggered off many spillover effects beyond mass-labour production of durable and non-durable goods -- such as the provision of foreign aid to African, Latin American and Asian economies, and increasing focus on internal endogenous innovation, research and development. He provides a comprehensive look at these spillover effects and analyzes how they will undoubtedly bring positive opportunities for others within the rest of the world in the 21st Century.
Book Synopsis Learning from China? by : Chen, Yunnan
Download or read book Learning from China? written by Chen, Yunnan and published by Intl Food Policy Res Inst. This book was released on 2016-11-21 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The question of how to promote structural transformation is central in fostering sustainable growth and poverty reduction in low-income countries in Africa. Following China’s domestic economic transformation and its growing outward investments in the developing world, we seek to understand how Chinese investment in Africa, particularly in manufacturing, may help to foster industrialization and in turn the structural transformation of African economies. We focus on Chinese investments and partnerships in Nigeria, a salient destination for Chinese manufacturing foreign direct investment in Africa, and examine the potential mechanisms of technology transfer that might catalyze such transformation. We find some small but significant cases of potential technology transfer, particularly through technical partnerships between firms. However, the future potential of such mechanisms will depend on the initiative of Nigerian actors to leverage Chinese investment to their interest.

Book Synopsis China's Political Economy In The Xi Jinping Epoch: Domestic And Global Dimensions by : Lowell Dittmer

This book was released on 2021-03-17 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book takes a fresh look at Chinese political economy at a key inflection point. Facing a more competitive international environment, Chinese reform has shifted from its earlier focus on economic liberalization and political decentralization to a more tightly organized, centralized form of state socialism. The Party-state's vigorous fiscal reaction to the Global Financial Crisis (2008-2009) left the country with a much improved infrastructure and greater sense of national self-assurance. The more monocratic central leadership has redoubled efforts to fight poverty and pollution, push technological innovation, and at the same time rigorously enforce ideological consensus, political loyalty and anticorruption.This has been occurring in an international context of slowing trade and nationalist pushback against 'globalization', prominently including bilateral Chinese-American polarization. While China has been among the staunchest advocates and beneficiaries of globalization, incipient trade war 'decoupling' has spurred movement toward economic and technological self-reliance. Turning inward however vies with a rival impulse toward more vigorous engagement in the world. This is most consequentially represented by the Belt and Road Initiative, driving massive infrastructure construction through Central Asia and the South and Southeast Asian maritime periphery. Despite slowing growth and a large debt overhang, swift recovery from the Covid-19 epidemic leaves China in a relatively strong economic position.

Book Synopsis Chinese Organizations in Sub-Saharan Africa by : Terence Jackson
Download or read book Chinese Organizations in Sub-Saharan Africa written by Terence Jackson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-09 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trade between China and Africa is increasing year on year, while the West increasingly debates the nature and implications of China’s presence. Yet little research exists at the organizational and community levels. While western press reporting is overwhelmingly negative, African governments mostly welcome the Chinese presence. But what happens at the management level? How are Chinese organizations run? What are they bringing to communities? What is their impact on the local job market? How do they manage staff? How are they working with local firms? This book seeks to provide a theoretical framework for understanding Chinese organizations and management in Africa and to explore how their interventions are playing out at the organizational and community levels in sub-Saharan Africa. Based on rigorous empirical research exploring emerging themes in specific African countries, this book develops implications for management knowledge, education and training provision, and policy formulation. Importantly it seeks to inform future scholarship on China’s management impact in the world generally, on Africa’s future development, and on international and cross-cultural management scholarship. Primarily aimed at scholars of international management, with an interest in China and/or in China in Africa, this important book will also be of great interest to those working in the area of development studies, international politics, and international relations.

Book Synopsis How Does Political Instability Affect Economic Growth? by : Mr.Ari Aisen
Download or read book How Does Political Instability Affect Economic Growth? written by Mr.Ari Aisen and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this paper is to empirically determine the effects of political instability on economic growth. Using the system-GMM estimator for linear dynamic panel data models on a sample covering up to 169 countries, and 5-year periods from 1960 to 2004, we find that higher degrees of political instability are associated with lower growth rates of GDP per capita. Regarding the channels of transmission, we find that political instability adversely affects growth by lowering the rates of productivity growth and, to a smaller degree, physical and human capital accumulation. Finally, economic freedom and ethnic homogeneity are beneficial to growth, while democracy may have a small negative effect.
Book Synopsis How Does Foreign Direct Investment Affect Economic Growth by : Mr.Eduardo Borensztein
Download or read book How Does Foreign Direct Investment Affect Economic Growth written by Mr.Eduardo Borensztein and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1994-09-01 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We test the effect of foreign direct investment (FDI) on economic growth in a cross-country regression framework, utilizing data on FDI flows from industrial countries to 69 developing countries over the last two decades. Our results suggest that FDI is an important vehicle for the transfer of technology, contributing relatively more to growth than domestic investment. However, the higher productivity of FDI holds only when the host country has a minimum threshold stock of human capital. In addition, FDI has the effect of increasing total investment in the economy more than one for one, which suggests the predominance of complementarity effects with domestic firms.
