城市如何吸引企业投资:来自中国和印度的证据

How Do Cities Attract Enterprise Investment: Evidence from China and India

利用世界银行提供的企业数据,探讨中国和印度大中小不同类型城市如何吸引企业投资。有序逻辑(ordered logistic)回归结果表明:规模较大的省会城市并不具有吸引企业投资的绝对优势。其中,中国和印度的劳动密集型企业在选址时往往会避开大中城市。在中国,有原材料供应且与之距离更近的城市对企业投资更具吸引力。在印度,城市有无原材料供应对吸引企业投资也有重要影响,但不同的是改革之后企业建厂更多集中在大城市。

By using enterprise data provided by World Bank,the paper discusses how cities of different scales in China and India attract enterprise investment.The result of ordered logistic regression shows that capital cities with large scale do not have absolute advantages to attract enterprise investment.Labor intensive enterprises of China and India often avoid choosing big and middle-sized cities when deciding their locations.In China,cities which are not far away from places with raw material supply have the strongest attraction of enterprise investment.In India,whether cities have raw material supply or not is also important,but the difference is that a lot of enterprises build their factories in big cities after reform.
