“…Nevertheless, information on these variables is not widely available in China, and labor input usually is just measured by the number of labor forces or just by population in most studies. For instance, Wang and Yao (2003), and Zhang and Shi (2003) use the total number of workers as a proxy for labor inputs, while Graham and Wada (2001) use population. Other measures include working time (Kong et al, 1999), total wage (Lu and Jin, 2005), and a labor index calculated from working time and wage (Sun and Ren, 2005 .…”

“…It has been shown by previous studies by Tseng and Zebregs (2002), Graham and Wada (2001), and Dayal-Gulati, Anuradha and Aasim M. Husain (2000) that FDI in China play an important role in stimulating growth in income. However, the surge of FDI inflow to the coastal regions has contributed to increased inter-regional economic disparity within China.…”

Hard or Soft? Institutional Reforms and Infrastructure Spending as Determinants of Foreign Direct Investment in China*

et al. 2005

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In this paper, we examine whether hard infrastructure in the form of more highways and railroads or soft infrastructure in the form of more transparent institutions and deeper reforms lead to more foreign direct investment (FDI). We use data of FDI from the United States, Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Korea to various regions of China from 1990 to 2002. We control for the standard determinants of FDI--regional market sizes, wage rates, human capital and tax policies. Then we add indices of hard and soft infrastructures. We found that empirically soft infrastructure consistently outperforms hard infrastructure as a determinant of FDI. JEL classification numbers: F21, F233

“…One major consequence of the post-1991 developments in China is that total factor productivity in the Chinese coastal provinces, where FDI is concentrated, grew faster in this period than prior to the earlier period, and the difference in the two growth rates is statistically significant (Graham and Wada, 2001). By contrast, there was no such acceleration in total factor productivity in the remaining provinces of China in the post-1991 period.…”
