Abstract:Using a data set on 29 Chinese provinces for the period , this paper establishes a threshold model to analyse the relationship between spillover effects of foreign direct investment (FDI) and regional innovation in China. There is clear evidence of doublethreshold effects of regional innovation on productivity spillovers from FDI. Specifically, only when the level of regional innovation reaches the minimum innovation threshold will FDI in the region begin to produce positive productivity spillovers. Furthermore, positive productivity spillovers from FDI will be substantial only when the level of regional innovation attains a higher threshold. The double threshold divides Chinese provinces into three super-regions in terms of innovation, with most provinces positioned within the middle-level innovation super-region. Policy implications are discussed.

“…Balasubramanyam et al (1996) argue that developing countries can significantly benefit from FDI because it not only transfers production know-how and managerial skills but also produces externalities or spillover effects. Some relatively recent studies all find positive spillover effects, such as Kokko et al (1996) on the Uruguayan manufacturing sector, Liu et al (2000) on UK manufacturing, Li et al (2001) and Wei and Liu (2001; on China. In our proposed framework, an external activist vigorously seeks knowledge from the local environment while spilling its own knowledge to indigenous firms in the host country, it should perform better and have a greater positive impact on local firms than an external loner.…”

The analysis of multinational subsidiary roles or strategies has traditionally been from the viewpoint of the multinational enterprise (MNE) per se, focusing on a trade-off between the two strategic dimensions of integration and responsiveness (localization). This paper argues that a subsidiary is embedded in a dual context of both the MNE and the host environment, and hence its strategic role should be assessed by its relative positions and contributions both within the knowledge networks of the MNE and the host country. This dual typology is believed to be useful for the MNE and the host government in assessing the impacts of the subsidiary on the competitiveness enhancement of the MNE and local capability development. The framework is tested on a sample of 369 multinational subsidiaries in China.The results confirm that a subsidiary active both internally (through knowledge flows with the rest of the MNE) and externally (with the local partners) has not only the best financial and overall performance but also a most positive impact on local development. The managerial and policy implications are also discussed.

“…Quando é considerada uma subamostra excluindo situações de "enclave" em que não há significativa ligação entre as empresas nacionais e as EM (i.e., setores com forte presença externa e muito concentrados), verifica-se que a eficiência das empresas nacionais é determinada pela presença externa e pelo efeito de concorrência. 8 Li et al (2001) adotam, para o caso chinês, uma abordagem semelhante a Kokko (1996), embora mais detalhada, pois são considerados três grupos de empresas: empresas multinacionais, empresas estatais e "outras empresas locais". O impacto da presença externa é significativo e positivo no caso das empresas locais não estatais, sendo não significativo o efeito sobre a eficiência das empresas estatais.…”
