我国地理学关于跨国投资的研究进展

RESEARCH PROGRESS OF INTERNATIONAL INVESTMENT ON CHINESE GEOGRAPHY STUDIES

本文运用科学计量法与文献研究法,对我国地理学界关于跨国投资的研究进行了综述,发现我国学界在投资时空演变格局、区位选择、驱动因素与效应等方向取得了较为显著的进展,近年来研究的国际化趋势明显。目前中国已经从单纯的外资输入发展为引进与输出结合的双向投资结构,中国的对外投资是近10年近年的热门话题。总体而言,相关研究以实证分析为主,经历了从单一理论的借鉴到多理论的整合,视角更多元、内容更多样、方法更综合。空间视角下的计量分析方法和可视化表达是当前跨国投资研究较为热门的方法。未来的研究仍需理论创新,对西方主导的研究视角进行批判性思考,突出地理学科特色。

International investment is an important research topic in the context of globalization, and geography is one of the main subjects of related studies.

More expansion and critical thinking about current conceptual frameworks are needed in future research. To explain the dynamic development of international investment, new perspectives and new theories are called for. Highlights of relevance of different research directions within the discipline of geography, characteristics of geography are also significant.
