The paper investigates the importance of spatial dependences on Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) localization across Chinese provinces over the 1992-2009. Based on exploratory spatial data analysis, spatial sigma-convergence and spatial Durbin specifications, we present a much clearer picture of...

This study aims at investigating the spatial dimension of the FDI. Considering the distribution of FDI between the provinces, our purpose is the spatial dependency that may be observed. Using data for 1992-2002, we find that taking into account the regional specification induces significant FDI...

In this paper, the impact of real exchange rate on employment is theoretically investigated. Three channels are identified. 1. Capital/labor intensity channel: the real appreciation, which decreases the cost of imported inputs and increases real wages expressed in tradable goods, exerts a...

This paper aims to test the effect of smallholder farmers' participatory social learning on their gain of performance in a village of southwest China. By exploring a panel structure survey data collected in the village, we identify the social learning effect using a Spatial Autoregressive (SAR)...

This paper examines empirically one of the most popular views in international economics, yet barely tested: undervaluation of the currency is a “beggar-thy-neighbor” policy. It assesses simultaneously the two closely related implications of the beggar-thy-neighbor view: (i) undervaluation...

This article investigates the causes of the deflation which occurs in China since 1998. The analysis is based on a theoretical model which addresses supply shocks as well as demand shocks and on the estimation of a reduced equation of consumer prices variations for the period 1986-2002, the...

This article investigates the impact that the real exchange rate appreciation in China has exerted on productivity growth since 1994. We remind the arguments explaining a positive or a negative impact of a real appreciation on efficiency and on technical progress. DEA Malmquist indices of...

The evolution of regional policy between the Mao era and the Deng era generated much debate concerning inter-provincial disparities and the trade-off between efficiency and equity. The aim of this paper is to explore the existence of regional growth spillover effects looked for Deng’s policy....
