“…That is, Hong Kong is basically service-oriented and the labour-intensive manufacturing sector is located across Hong Kong's border (Tuan and Ng, 2001b). Tuan and Ng (2002) suggested that the FDI-induced agglomeration of Hong Kong and the Pearl River Delta (PRD) will provide invaluable experience which will lead to further agglomeration, especially in regions such as the Shanghai-Yangtze River Delta (YRD) and the BeijingBohai Gulf (Tuan and Ng, 2004).…”

“…After the institutional reforms began, the Chinese government began to actively encourage FDI, with the objective being to compensate for China's shortage of foreign exchange; encouraging FDI also helped to boost China's export capabilities, stimulate technology transfer and innovation, and improve the functioning of the market mechanism, thereby contributing to economic growth (Zhang, 2001;Hu and Jefferson, 2002;Liu et al, 2002;Liu and Wang, 2003;Tuan and Ng, 2003).…”

AbstractPurpose -This study undertakes empirical analysis of the factors that have influenced economic growth in China's provinces during the process of institutional transformation, and to examine whether the disparities in economic growth between provinces have been expanding or diminishing. Design/methodology/approach -Pooled cross-section (provinces) and time-series data are employed, with the error components method also being used for the empirical testing. Findings -Empirical test results using the error components model have shown that during the period from 1988 to 1998, there was a tendency towards divergence of the economic growth rates achieved by China's provinces, with the variables relating to the employed population, changes in property rights and foreign direct investment (FDI), all having a positive impact on economic growth. Research limitations/implications -With China's huge size and the idiosyncrasies of its constituents, it is difficult to quantify the data collected when measuring the geographical, social, institutional and economic ingredients of the provinces. Practical implications -Whether or not the process of institutional transformation in China succeeds in building a truly efficient system will depend on innovation, a process within which the accumulation and transmission of knowledge plays a very important role. Originality/value -The establishment of the empirical model in this study is based on convergence testing using the endogenous growth model, and takes into consideration the impact which China's institutional transformation has had on economic growth in individual provinces.

“…Furthermore, these authors have mentioned the introduction of a law which has created a legal framework to Wholly Owned Subsidiaries (WOS) and moreover a law of FDI encouragement and incentives was approved. Among other reforms, during the 80's, the joint ventures life-time period was increased and Chinese civil law was changed introducing a new legal framework for foreign-invested enterprises (FIEs) (Chen et al, 1995;Dées, 1998;Cheng & Kwan, 2000;Tuan & Fung-Yee Ng, 2002;2002a;Sun, Tong & Yu, 2002;Huang, 2003).…”

“…Thus, Dées (1998) has described the late years of the 1980's as a period when inward FDI and exports growth rates were facing a sharply increasing trend. Tuan and Fung-Yee Ng (2002a; and Whalley and Xin (2006;2010) have noted a change in the early-1990s; not only a progressive insertion of local companies in global competition (Chen et al, 1995;Wei, 1995;Naugthon & Lardy, 1996;Wei, Liu, Parker & Vaidya, 1999;Zhang & Song, 2000;Zhang & Flemingham, 2001;Zhang, 2005), but also a next (new) generation of reforms (Tuan & Fung-Yee Ng, 2002), reaffirming the open policy, which has led to a diversification of FDI sources, adding to those three overseas Chinese origins (Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan), other sources, as Europe and United States (Chen, Zhou & Wan, 2000;Tuan & Fung-Yee Ng, 2006). However, this increasing FDI was located mainly at Special Economic Zones (SEZs), and it was the SEZs expansion which has been the basis where these export-led investments were developed (OECD, 2000;Fujita & Hu, 2001).…”

PR China is capturing FDI mainly from the overseas Chinese territories and from High-Income Countries (HICs); this last group is also the most important Chinese export-market. Adopting an inductive methodology, based on the bibliometric method, our purpose is the understanding of which were the determinants that led to attract inward FDI and, later, to increase exports from PR China to HICs. Taking into account the time frame 1980-2010, 367 different publications were collected. Using the ISI Web of Science and the HistCite Software 10 research papers were the basis for a bibliometric diagram (LCS > or equal to 5). From this diagram was possible to extract two main streams: economic reforms toward an inward FDI attraction and world exports leadership; and inward FDI-mainly from HICs-led to an increasing value of the exports basket. A third issue emerged also, not as a stream, but as an important conclusion based on the Gilboy (2004) paper, published on Foreign Affairs: foreign companies dominate high-tech industries and a lion's part of Chinese industrial exports. PR China has reached the world exporting ranking leadership based on economic reforms, focused on the attraction of FDI export driven, which had on companies from HICs a major contribution.
