Abstract

This article has summarized China’s western region’s characteristics of attracting and utilizing foreign capital from 1986 to 2010. It has described the present situation that the distribution of FDI here is unbalanced and the ability of absorbing foreign investment of this region is weak. TFP of the provinces in China’ Western Region has been calculated, and been used to measure technological progress. Through constructing VAB Model, this article has empirically analyzed the relationship between FDI and TFP. The result proves that FDI has some facilitation to the technological progress of China’s Western Region, but is not very significant. In the process of attracting and using foreign investment, the Western Region of China should optimize investment environment, and expand FDI scale; change the concept of attracting investment, and improve the performance of foreign investment; encourage Sino-foreign joint venture, and strengthen technical cooperation.
