Foreign Direct Investment and Regional Export Performance in China
研究了外商直接投资对中国各省出口绩效的影响，发现沿海地区影响强于内陆，中部地区显著而西部地区不显著。
This paper investigates the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) on the export performance of China at the provincial level. First, it presents a theoretical discussion of the impact of FDI on foreign trade, and then an empirical study of the impact of FDI on the export performance of regions in Chin. It has been found that the impact of FDI on exports differs across three macro‐regions in China. The effect is stronger in the coastal region than in the inland regions. Although FDI shows a positive and significant impact on exports from the central region, its impact on the western region is found to be insignificant.
