Compliance of Documentation Transfer Pricing Requirements in Foreign Direct Investment Enterprises in Vietnam

The increase of inter-boundary transactions brings a number of benefits for enterprises. However, even when benefits of transfer pricing are evident, multinational organizations still face legal challenges, including performing parts of transactions in another jurisdiction and motives of tax officials in investigating transfer pricing. This is especially true when countries do not want to lose benefits from tax collection. Therefore, many countries and organizations such as the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development （OECD）, Pacific Association of Tax Administrators （PATA）, the European Union （EU）, and Vietnam have introduced requirements for transfer pricing documentation to prevent transfer pricing manipulation and maintain benefits from taxes. The aim of this research was to assess the compliance of those requirements of foreign direct investment （FDI） enterprises in Vietnam. This article which is a summary of our research includes the following sections： （1） OECD guidelines of transfer pricing documentation; （2） Vietnam regulations of transfer pricing documentation; （3） results of the research; and （4） discussion and conclusion.

Policy Recommendations for Developing Foreign-invested Enterprise in China

China has undergone the three major stages in its development of foreign-invested enterprise: exploratory development, accelerated development and innovative development. This harnessing of foreign investment has resulted in tremendous success for China, including making up for the funds shortage for economic construction, promoting corporate technological progress and management expertise, easing employment pressure, increasing fiscal revenue and boosting trade. At the same time, there have been problems, including questions of economic security, environment and energy issues, unequal competition and problems with the management of foreign-invested enterprises. To promote the development of foreign-invested enterprises in both a healthy and rapid fashion, China should look toward "maintaining policy continuity, promoting the forward-looking nature of policy, strengthening policy guidance and highlighting policy innovativeness."

Impact of China’s Outward Foreign Direct Investment on Enterprise Performance

The present study seeks to address two fundamental questions.(1)Does outward foreign direct investment(OFDI)enhance enterprise performance ultimately?(2)How does this effect come about?A new dataset from the years 2011 to 2016 based on the micro-data of 88 Chinese multinational-listed enterprises was used to test research hypotheses with the mediating effect modeling approach.The study results reveal that:(1)the investment intensity has a positive influence,while investment span has a negative influence on enterprise performance;(2)the enhanced innovation capability can considerably increase the enterprise performance,while investment intensity and span both hinder the upgrading of innovation capability;and(3)the innovation capability of an enterprise plays a partial intermediary role among investment span and enterprise performance.However,there is no mediating effect between investment intensity,innovation ability,and enterprise performance.

专利出海与中国企业对外直接投资

专利出海作为开放创新生态的重要内容,是推进高水平对外开放的新优势。本文选取2003—2021年中国专利出海上市企业为研究对象,探究专利出海对中国企业对外直接投资的影响及作用机制。研究结果显示,专利出海能够促进中国企业对外直接投资,其动态滞后效应在第2期达到最大。在考虑多维专利出海质量、内生性问题和进行一系列稳健性检验后,结论依然成立。机制检验结果表明,专利出海通过技术领先效应和声誉传递效应促进中国企业对外直接投资。异质性分析结果显示,专利出海对数字化企业、顺向投资企业和民营企业对外直接投资的促进作用明显,对中国企业向投资网络社区内东道国、高知识产权保护东道国的投资促进作用更强。本文为依托创新全球化布局推动企业对外投资提供了微观依据,对提升国际循环质量和实现更高水平开放型经济具有重要启示。

外汇衍生品监管与跨境投资企业信用评级——基于“企业层面外汇衍生品监管指数”的实证分析

“一带一路”倡议和“走出去”战略加速了外汇衍生品市场的发展,而加强外汇衍生品监管是市场平稳运行的重要保障。在创新性地构建“企业层面外汇衍生品监管指数”的基础上,基于2007—2019年中国跨境投资企业数据,实证检验了外汇衍生品监管对企业信用评级的影响及作用机制。研究发现,加强外汇衍生品监管能够有效提升企业信用评级,且主要通过减少企业违规行为、增强信息透明度和抑制管理者过度自信三种渠道提升信用评级。异质性分析表明,上述提升效果在国有企业中更大。进一步研究发现,加强外汇衍生品监管可以抑制企业信用评级的调整动机。因此,监管部门应优化衍生品监管法规,倡导套期保值原则,提高评级机构违规成本,提升衍生品交易信息透明度,进而促进外汇衍生品市场的健康发展。

外商直接投资对企业数字化转型的驱动效应研究

外商直接投资有利于我国经济健康可持续发展,符合新常态下经济发展要求。外商直接投资对本国企业数字化转型产生巨大的推动和影响,选取2007—2020年中国各省级面板数据,在理论的基础上研究外商直接投资对本国企业数字化转型的影响。研究表明:FDI对本国企业数字化转型有着明显的驱动作用,但存在着地区的差异性;在较发达的东部和中部,FDI对企业数字化转型的影响不显著,而在经济较为落后的西部,FDI对企业数字化转型的影响却非常显著。政府和社会各界应继续让外商直接投资成为引导企业数字化转型升级的持续性动力;完善各地区“数字化”战略的政策机制,政府应给予国际企业投资相应的政策支持;要大力培育数字化改革中的人才及骨干,促进中国企业数字化转型的进程。

金融市场摩擦与企业对外投资

利用我国全球投资跟踪数据,本文探讨了金融市场摩擦影响企业对外投资的作用方向和作用机制。理论建模与实证检验发现,金融市场摩擦会显著降低企业对外投资,且存在明显的行业异质性。具体而言,金融市场摩擦对金融、科技、化工和房地产行业的企业对外投资具有显著影响,而针对能源、农业、物流、冶金等行业企业的影响则不显著;此外,金融市场摩擦显著负向影响企业对中高收入和高收入国家的投资,而对低收入和中低收入国家没有显著影响,这种差异与企业和行业属性有着密切关系,且金融市场摩擦只对企业的非绿地投资有显著负向影响。基于因果中介分析方法的机制检验表明,金融市场摩擦通过影响企业外部融资溢价和抵质押约束进而影响企业对外投资,两者中介效应占总效应的比例分别为16.8%和36.3%。该研究可为企业对外投资合作高质量发展提供一定参考。

新加坡在华投资企业进入园区的时空特征与影响机制

基于1979—2022年新加坡在华投资企业数据,利用ArcGIS软件的空间分析技术分析新加坡投资企业的时空特征,采用实证方法探索产业园区促进新加坡投资企业进入的影响机制。研究发现:①新加坡投资企业建立数量经历3个高峰期,分别是1993年、2006年和2021年,且进入产业园区的新加坡投资企业比例在1979—2009年快速上升。②空间特征上,新加坡投资企业的整体集聚程度在1992—2022年不断上升,并且进入园区内与进入园区外的企业数量比例相当,具有十分相似的空间分布格局。③产业园区能够通过改善所在地区的基础设施建设水平以及减少外资企业税收负担2种机制,促进新加坡投资企业进入园区。

中国稀土企业GVC嵌入度的测度及影响因素研究

中国稀土产业虽然有资源优势,但是由于产业中下游缺乏竞争力,导致利润薄弱,亟需从全球价值链(GVC)视角对其展开研究。基于2004—2014年中国工业企业数据库和中国海关企业数据库的匹配数据,选取了367家稀土企业数据,采用企业层面GVC嵌入度指标测度了中国稀土企业GVC嵌入度,发现中国整体稀土企业、本土稀土企业及外资稀土企业的GVC嵌入度均呈现上升态势,其中,本土稀土企业GVC嵌入度较低且上升速度较为缓慢,而外资稀土企业GVC嵌入度相对较高,并成为推动中国稀土企业GVC嵌入度提升的动力来源。运用2004—2014年微观企业数据构建计量模型,实证研究了中国稀土企业GVC嵌入度的影响因素。研究结果表明:外商直接投资是促进中国稀土企业GVC嵌入度提升的首要动力来源,企业规模是有效促进中国稀土企业GVC嵌入度提升的重要因素,企业出口密集度的上升并没有带来中国稀土企业GVC嵌入度提升,反而起到了明显的抑制作用。进一步的实证研究发现:外商直接投资、企业劳动生产率、企业资本密集度、企业规模对外资稀土企业GVC嵌入度提升均有明显的促进作用,而企业出口密集度则起到明显的抑制作用;企业出口密集度和企业资本密集度对本土稀土企业GVC嵌入度提升具有明显的抑制作用。本文是从微观的GVC视角进行中国稀土国际竞争力研究的一次有意义尝试。

基于复杂网络的本土汽车企业逆向跨国并购发展与对策研究

随着我国综合国力的提升,中国自主汽车品牌纷纷开始进行海外并购,并且不断尝试逆向跨国并购,以获取先进技术促进国内汽车产业发展。本文以中国2001—2022年本土汽车企业逆向跨国并购事件为基础,建立逆向跨国并购网络,运用社会网络分析方法,对其现状进行可视化分析,并且基于逆向跨国并购发展存在的问题,提出本土汽车企业逆向跨国并购发展路径。研究发现,本土汽车企业逆向跨国并购规模较小,并购对象集中于美国和德国,网络呈现“核心-外围”结构。基于此,本文将考虑政府方面的政策引导、本土企业与被并购企业的区位优势和协同发展,提出逆向跨国并购发展路径,以期促进本土汽车产业创新发展。
