Agglomeration, backward and forward linkages: evidence from South Korean investment in China

چکیده
With a firm-level data set, we study the location decision of South Korean multinationals across China’s regions. Our conditional logit estimates confirm agglomeration effects along industry and along national lines.We add an upstream and downstream (backward and forward) linkage effect. We find that the presence of upstream and downstream South Korean affiliates significantly increases the likelihood that a South Korean multinational invests in a particular region. However, linkages that do not differentiate by nationality do not seem to matter much. As such, our analysis of investors’ location choice brings together two perspectives: linkages and agglomeration along national lines. JEL classification: F21, F23, R12 Agglomération, liens en amont et liens en aval : résultats pour l’investissement sud coréen en Chine. A partir d’une base de données au niveau de l’entreprise, on étudie la localisation de firmes plurinationales sud-coréennes dans les régions de la Chine. Les résultats d’une analyse de type logit confirment qu’il existe des effets d’agglomération tant dans l’axe industriel que national. Quand on ajoute les effets en amont et en aval, on découvre que la présence d’affiliés sud-coréens en amont et en aval accroı̂t de manière significative la probabilité qu’une firme plurinationale sud-coréenne investisse dans une région particulière. Cependant les liens qui ne discriminent pas selon l’axe de la nationalité ne semblent pas avoir grande importance. L’analyse des décisions de localisation d’investissement synthétise deux perspectives : liens et agglomération selon l’axe de la nationalité.

The calculated stock return and real exchange rate change are used in analysis....
متن کاملTrade Liberalisation and Agglomeration with Firm Heterogeneity----Forward and Backward Linkages
This paper studies the impact of trade costs reduction on geographical concentration in the presence of firm heterogeneity and overhead type of export fixed costs. Firm heterogeneity with the export fixed costs hampers full agglomeration through weakening the forward and backward linkages and fortifying the market crowding effect. Rather than catastrophic agglomeration that the standard new eco...
متن کاملCalculating inter-sectoral carbon flows of a mining sector via hypothetical extraction method
Mining is among the oldest industries. It is the primary source of raw materials for most of the sectors. Little is known about the complex inter-sectoral carbon linkages of the mining industry. In this work, we estimate the inter- and intra-sectoral carbon linkage impacts of the mining sector across ten major economies by applying an input-output model, and the hypothetical extraction method a...

متن کاملTechnology transfers, foreign investment and productivity spillovers: evidence from Vietnam
This paper provides new evidence on the relationship between foreign direct investment (FDI) and the productivity of domestic firms. Using a specially designed survey on a sample of over 7,500 manufacturing firms in Vietnam we uncover some of the mechanisms that explain productivity spillovers from FDI through vertical linkages along the supply chain. Our results suggest that domestic firms exp...
