Este artículo busca establecer explicaciones para el cambio en el patrón de inversiones presentado en el flujo de inversión directa no financiera (IED) de China en la Nueva Ruta de la Seda (NRS). En primer lugar, la reducción de las inversiones en nrs se verifica a través del análisis del Statistical Bulletin of China’s Outward Foreign Direct Investment entre los años 2013 y 2016. Después, al tratar de explicar la reducción del flujo de ied no financiera de China a nrs, este artículo analiza dos hipótesis. Primero, retrata las medidas actuales de control del gasto público de China, que abordan el crecimiento del exceso de capacidad del país, mientras discute las similitudes entre la economía china y la crisis japonesa de principios de la década de 1990. Posteriormente, contempla la posibilidad de que los preparativos realizados por las autoridades chinas se contrarresten por la inestabilidad anticipada de los mercados mundiales. La confluencia de estos factores ayuda a explicar la reducción del flujo no financiero de ied a nrs, que contrasta con la tendencia contemporánea hacia la inversión china en el mundo durante el mismo período.

The Belt And Road

For the last few years, the execution of the Belt and Road Initiative (hereinafter referred to as the BRI) and China’s outward foreign direct investment (hereinafter referred to as OFDI) in Europe have seen a significant upward trend. For our current paper, we collected empirical data pertaining to China’s OFDI and foreign trade (gathered from 21 European countries in the trade gravity market for the period 2003 to 2016) that yielded the following results: (a) China’s OFDI to Europe has significantly promoted international trade between China and European countries. On the other hand, OFDI has equally promoted China’s exports to European counties, while it has not encouraged China’s imports from European counties. (b) The Belt and Road Initiative has had a positive impact on China’s exports to European counties and has had a negative impact on China’s imports from European counties. (c) There have been both complementary trade impacts and substitution trade impacts when China has directly invested in European countries, but the complementary impact was much stronger than its substitution impact in the chosen sample period.

The Belt And Road

Existing studies on the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) primarily explain its impact on foreign trade, foreign direct investment and economic development of the countries concerned, whereas its impact on the performance of outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) enterprises has rarely been examined. By considering the BRI as exogenous policy shock, this paper analyzes the mechanism and impact of the BRI on the research and development (R&D) investment of China’s OFDI enterprises investing in countries along the Belt and Road. With propensity score matching and a difference-in-difference approach, it tackles the endogeneity problem caused by self-selecting into the BRI enterprise group. The estimates indicate that BRI has not effectively promoted the R&D investment of OFDI enterprises, but plays an inhibitory role in the short term, and the marginal effect increases firstly and then decreases. Further mechanism analysis shows that the BRI leads to the addition of overseas revenue and the reduction of return on assets, which are the main reasons for the decrease of the R&D investment. In addition, the ownership heterogeneity analysis finds a higher negative effect on the state-owned enterprises, while a smaller effect on non-state-owned enterprises.
