    Using firm-level R&D data with regional international talent data, we find that international talent increases the R&D investment of Chinese manufacturing firms, a result that is further confirmed with patent data and under a number of robustness checks. These findings stem from two mechanisms: international talent boosts human capital accumulation and provides a diversified labor force. Further, the R&D promoting effect is stronger if firms are located in eastern China rather than in other regions, of small and medium-sized rather than large-sized, of domestic ownership rather than foreign ownership. The policy implication is, the introduction of international talent can be a new way to promoting R&D investment, especially for skilled-labor constrained countries.

    In the first year, we have done the following basic work.
    First, we have documented the special and complex features of the hukou system, its enforcement history including the strict enforcement in the Mao era, and the gradual easing in the Deng era; Second, we have looked for cases and data on how hukou affects migration, foreign direct investment into China and Chinese trade with other countries; Third, we have interviewed some migrant workers and firms, and will continue to interview more, in order to obtain more detailed information on: migrant incentives, migration networks, migration problems, job satisfaction, migrant compensation, the type of firms and occupation they work for, the skill requirements, income gaps across regions and migrants, etc.; Forth, we are in the process of building a theoretical model of China's hukou reform, and linking the theoretical model to the reform of other policies, such as those in exports, foreign direct investment, special economic zones, urbanization, one-child policy, etc.; Fifth, we have organized several workshops at the Research Institute for Economics and Business Administration, and invited scholars that are doing related research to present their work and exchange ideas.

    (1)We explored how incomplete financial systems affect economic bubbles in the framework of global economy. (2) We showed that the effectiveness of greenhouse-gas emission controls crucially depends on international carbon leakages caused by the controls. (3) Analyzing production networks of the machine industry, we showed that only those countries and regions which reduced country risks to a certain extent can participate in the networks. (4) Using micro data, we confirmed the Creative Destruction Hypothesis in the case of natural disasters.

  • Economic Analysis on competition policy and vertically related markets

    Theoretical economic analysis is indispensable to understand the impact of economic activities under vertically related markets on economic welfare. We mainly analyzed many market environments with vertical relations, which contributes to the discussion on competition policy. Throughout the project, the bargaining powers of agents in each market environment substantially influence the predicted outcomes. For instance, under a bilateral monopoly market with a manufacturer and a retailer, the manufacturer opens its direct distribution channel to improve its disagreement payoff if its bargaining power over the retailer is not sufficiently strong. The effect of the opening on economic welfare depends on the efficiency of the direct distribution channel. When the retailer and the direct distribution channel compete in quantity, the opening harms economic welfare if the efficiency of the direct distribution channel is slightly worse than that of the retailer.

    （1）If capital markets are liberalized with imperfect financial markets, industrial structures may drastically change. Capital flow from South to North may result in capital shortage in South and decrease the average productivity in North.（2）When policy measures to deal with global warming are considered, it is inevitable to take international carbon leakages into account. Those measures may improve economic efficiency but may not improve economic welfare.（3）By investigating how international value chains are affected by global economic shocks such as bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers, it is shown that international value chains are quite robust and stable compared with other types of international transactions.

    The globalization of the world economy increases the risk generated by the asymmetric information among trading countries. We investigated how we cope with this kind of risk by the cooperation of trading countries. In the aspect of international trade of food, we investigate the various policies such as imported food inspection and enforcement of fine to false food in order to protect from health damage. We also investigated the food supply system in the East Asian region from the viewpoint of food security and concluded that it is important for trading countries to cooperate together to foster healthy industrial clusters of food industries. Concerning the risk management, we developed information system and risk path finder system to support the detection of risk event scenarios.

    This study investigates the general food system including consumer demand, agricultural production, and international trade, with special reference to the falling birth rate, aging population, and food safety. The linear approximate quadratic almost ideal demand system, which is closed under unit scaling even with additional regressors in it and is more flexible in expenditure variations than the popular linear approximate almost ideal demand system, is applied to pseudo panel data per household on 12 food groups in 49 cities for the period January 2000 through December 2008. Other analyses include econometric analysis of agricultural production and applied microeconomic analysis of international trade.

    This research focuses on the following 3 topics in international trade. (1)In the analysis of firms' new behavior and related policies, we have shown that firm heterogeneity and the role of public firms in economies in transition are important. (2) In the analysis of international differences in non-economic values, we have shown that trade restrictions to resolve the labor and environmental issues are not recommended. (3) In the analysis of trade negotiations, we have shown that some new approaches of game theory contribute to design the desirable trade regimes.

  • Exchange Rate Policy and Competition for Global FDI in Asia
    XING Yuqing, ZHAO Laixun
    Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), International University of Japan, 2004 - 2005
    The purpose of this research is to investigate the role of exchange rates in the global competition for FDI. The first stage of the research consists of two parts : theoretical modeling and empirical analysis. Theoretical modeling : in the theoretical model, a Japanese multinational firm is assumed to invest in two foreign countries, producing the same products for exporting back to Japan with same technology. The production function is a conventional Cobble Douglas function. It is derived that, the relative FDI between the two FDI hosting countries is a function of relative exchange rate, which is the weighted sum of the relative wage and capital rent. The comparative static analysis based on the model shows that, if one FDI hosting country devalues its currency, relatively more FDI will be expected while the other FDI hosting country would have relative less FDI inflows. Empirical Analysis : Using data on Japanese FDI in nine Asian manufacturing sectors from 1981 to 2002, the research also examined the theoretical conclusion in the context of the competition between China and ASEAN-4 (Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand). Empirical results show that the relative exchange rate is a statistically significant factor determining the relative inflows of Japanese FDI for manufacturing as a whole and for such sub-sectors as textiles, food, electronics, transportation equipment, and others. It suggests that devaluation of Chinese Yuan in the last two decades is one of the major factors diverting Japanese FDI from ASEAN-4 to China. Exchange rate polices of these countries played a critical role in dynamically reshaping the geographic distribution of Japan's FDI in Asia.

  • 国際貿易と直接投資が賃金格差と失業率にもたらす影響の研究 -ハイテク産業部門と機械製造部門の比較-
    趙 来勲
    日本学術振興会, 科学研究費助成事業, 若手研究(B), 北海道大学, 2002 - 2003
    昨年度に確立した基本モデルでは、2財一般均衡モデルの一部門をハイテク産業(例えば、パソコンの製造など)とした。この部門の労働者は能力に応じた賃金を受け取る、つまり、効率賃金仮設に従うと仮定した。もう一つの部門は製造産業である。例えば、自動車や機械の製造など。この部門における企業は、労働組合に加入している。組合員の雇用と賃金は企業の経営者と労働組合の間で結ばれた協定で決まる。 今年度では上記で確立したモデルをもとに、輸入品との競争と直接投資を導入し、国内の雇用と賃金に与える影響の分析を行った。そして、下記のようにさまざまな要因に対して、比較静学分析を行った:輸入競争の引き上げ、外資の参入、技術の進展、移民、労働組合の弱まりなど。それぞれの要因が資源の配分や労働の効率性や賃金の構造などに重要な影響が与えることが明らかになった。 また、加えて同様のテーマで研究を行っている国内外の研究者(米国のTexas州政府の研究者など、また国内は神戸大学や神戸外国語大学の研究者など)と意見交換などを活発に行ったり、2002年10月に広島大学で行われた「日本経済学会」そして11月にHong Kong大学で行われた学会にも出席し、研究成果の部を発表した。 最後に、理論モデルは「Globalization, Unionization and Efficiency Wages」を題に論文を完成させ、国際的学術雑誌に投稿中である。
