Abstract

WEI Y., LIU X., PARKER D. and VAIDYA K. (1999) The regional distribution of foreign direct investment in China, Reg. Studies 33 , 857-867. This paper analyses the determinants of the regional distribution of both pledged and realized foreign direct investment (FDI) within China. The econometric properties of the panel data set are examined using a standardized 't-bar' test for unit root. The empirical results indicate that there exists a long run relationship between the spatial distribution of FDI and a number of regional characteristics. Provinces with a higher level of international trade, lower wage rates, more R&D manpower, higher GDP growth rates, quicker improvement in infrastructure, more rapid advances in agglomeration, more preferential policies and closer ethnic links with overseas Chinese attract relatively more pledged FDI. WEI Y., LIU X., PARKER D. et VAIDYA K. (1999) La distribution régionale de l'investissement direct étranger en Chine, Reg. Studies 33 , 857-867. Cet article cherche à analyser les déterminants de la distribution régionale de l'investissement direct étranger en Chine, soit engagé soit réalisé. Les propriétés économétriques de l'ensemble des données établies à partir d'une enquête se voient examiner en employant un test 't-bar' normalisé de la racine unitaire. Les résultats empiriques laissent voir qu'il existe un rapport à long terme entre la distribution géographique de l'investissement direct étranger et un nombre de caractéristiques régionales. Les provinces qui attirent proportionnellement plus d'investissement direct étranger engagé sont celles qui ont un niveau de commerce international plus élevé, des taux de salaire moins élevés, un taux d'emploi dans la R et D plus important, des taux de croissance du PIB plus importants, une amélioration plus rapide de l'infrastructure, des progrès plus rapides en faveur de la notion d'agglomération, plus de politiques de faveur et des liens ethniques plus étroits avec les Chinois à l'étranger. WEI Y., LIU X., PARKER D. und VAIDYA K. (1991) Die regionale Verteilung ausländischer Direktinvestierungen in China, Reg. Studies 33 , 857-867. Dieser Aufsatz analysiert die bestimmenden Faktoren der regionalen Verteilung zugesicherter und realisierter ausländischer Direktinvestierungen (Foreign Direct Investment= FDI) in China. Die ökonometrischen Eigenschaften des kombinierten Informationsträgers werden mit Hilfe eines standardisierten 't-bar Tests' für Einheitenlösungen untersucht. Die empirischen Ergebnisse deuten darauf hin, daß es eine langjährige Beziehung zwischen der räumlichen Verteilung der ausländischen Direktinvestierungen und einer Anzahl regionaler Eigenschaften gibt. Provinzen mit höherem Volumen internationaler Handelsbeziehungen, niedrigeren Lohnraten, mehr Arbeitskräften in Forschung und Entwicklung, höheren Wachstumsraten, Bruttoinlandsproduktion, schnellerbewerkstelligten Verbesserungen der Infrastruktur, beschleunigtem Vorschreiten von Agglomeration, mehr Vorzugsentscheidungen und engeren ethnischen Beziehungen zu Chinesen in Überseeziehen verhältnismäßig mehr zugesicherteausländische Direktinvestierungen an.
