文化距离、制度距离与自然人流动政策的溢出

Culture Distance, Institution Distance and Spillover of Natural Persons Movement Policy

文章利用澳大利亚生产率委员会所计算的自然人流动壁垒值,从政府的角度分析了影响东道国设置自然人流动壁垒的因素。研究结果显示,东道国国内居民收入、就业状况以及居民的受教育状况对政府选择自然人流动壁垒有显著影响,而贸易状况和外商直接投资的影响则不显著。此外,考虑到一国(地区)行为选择的溢出性,文章首次从文化距离和制度距离的角度考察了一国(地区)的自然人流动壁垒的空间相关性,结果显示一国(地区)的自然人流动壁垒在基于文化距离和制度距离的空间上都存在一定的空间相关性,一国(地区)的自然人流动壁垒的选择会通过文化空间以及制度空间对与其文化和制度相邻的国家(地区)的自然人流动壁垒产生正的溢出。

This paper analyzes the factors that influence the natural persons movement policy of host country from the standpoint of government, based on the natural persons movement barrier index counted by Australia Productivity Committee. The research result reveals that the resident income, employment and the education situation of host country have significant influence on the barrier of natural persons movement, but the trade and FDI situation do not have significant influence. Considering the spillover of government behavior, this paper considers the spatial correlation of natural persons movement barrier from culture distance and institution distance for the first time. It reveals that the natural persons movement barrier has spatial correlation in culture space and institution space. The natural persons movement barrier of one country （region） will have plus spillover to the countries （regions） adjacent to it.
