关于扩大固定资产规模的调查与思考

固定资产投资强度,直接影响到国民经济增长的速度,已经成为判断一个地区经济发展潜力和经济增长态势的重要指标。与上海、宁波、青岛和成都等城市比较,去年上半年,大连市固定资产投资规模出现回落,结构也不尽合理。应发挥市场机制作用,培育多元化投资主体,加大对产业投资力度,合理调整固定资产投资结构,促进房地产市场健康发展。

何谓“农业女性化”：文献述评与概念提出

“农业女性化”作为城镇化进程中农业劳动力性别再分配现象,从20世纪80年代末开始引起了国内学界的广泛关注,然而,关于何谓“农业女性化”的问题却始终未能有效回应。文献梳理发现,国内学者主要从非农转移性别差异角度出发对“农业女性化”进行了释义,围绕农业主导权和女性发展,就“农业女性化”与“女性农业化”展开了讨论。国外研究则通过“农业劳动力女性化”与“农业生产管理女性化”来综合认识“农业女性化”,对于概念的界定与测量更加精致和清晰。通过对已有研究的评析,可从“数理女性化”“劳动女性化”“管理女性化”3个层面重新讨论“农业女性化”的内涵及其外延。     

Bringing the Company Back In: A Firm-Level Analysis of Foreign Direct Investment

The industry standard for studying multinational corporations (MNCs) has been to evaluate patterns in aggregate country-level measures of foreign direct investment (FDI). Though certainly related, these data are at best a proxy for the actual commercial and productive activities of multinationals that most political scientists purport to be interested in. Simply put, this is a very indirect way of testing theories about the sociopolitical and economic factors that motivate MNCs’ choice of host countries. This article introduces a new firm-level data set designed to get around this problem by permitting more direct analysis of multinationals’ foreign operations. It then revisits the relationship between regime type and direct investment, finding evidence that MNCs are more likely to establish new subsidiaries in democracies than in nondemocracies. However, further analysis reveals that the strength of this relationship varies by context. Specifically, MNCs rely on regime type as an indicator of political risk when they lack an existing relationship with the host state. In addition, those operating in extractive industries are generally less responsive to political institutions than those operating in manufacturing or services. These results suggest that firm- and sector-specific factors deserve greater consideration than they have been given in the existing literature.     

Improving Reputation BIT by BIT: Bilateral Investment Treaties and Foreign Accountability

The literature on foreign direct investment (FDI) has paid an increasing interest to international institutions such as bilateral investment treaties (BITs), but whether BITs help attract FDI is an unsettled question. Building on the existing literature, this article argues that BITs can change investors’ perceptions and the corresponding investment they make because signing BITs signals the involvement of another powerful country that is able to compel the host government to comply. This implies that the effect of BITs is not constant across signatory countries: BITs are more effective when they are signed with rich and influential countries. Using monadic and dyadic FDI data, this article finds that BITs signed with powerful countries (defined as the top six largest economies) lead to an increase in FDI inflows (both from these signatory countries and from other countries). BITs signed with other countries, despite in a larger quantity, have little influence on FDI inflows.
