中印两国吸引跨国公司研发投资的潜力比较——基于计量模型的分析

A Comparison Between China and India in their Potential for Attracting Foreign R&D Investment:Econometric Analysis

本文在运用计量模型分析东道国经济规模、来自美国跨国公司的FDI存量等诸因素对美国跨国公司研发投资决策影响的基础上,对比了中印两国进一步吸收跨国公司研发投资的潜力,并就我国如何吸引跨国公司研发投资并使其溢出效应最大化提出相应建议。

This paper develops a group of econometric models to analyze the host-country determinants of R＆D location by U.S. TNCs. The candidate determinants include a number of variables in destination countries such as the scale of the economy, FDI stock from U.S. TNCs, innovation capability, human capital and IPR regime. Based on the estimates derived from the econometric models, a comparison between China and India is made in their potential for attracting R＆D investment from TNCs. Finally, I conclude with a discussion of how China may improve its ability to attract more FDI investment from TNCs as well as maximize the spiUover effect of such R＆D activities.
