“…Thereafter in next three decades, several EPZs were established namely, Kandla EPZ, Santacruz EPZ, Noida EPZ, Falta EPZ, Cochin EPZ, Chennai EPZ, Visakhapatnam EPZ and Surat EPZ. The EPZs, however, were not successful in ensuring the needed development due to rigid government laws, high transportation costs, long delays in obtaining permits ( [2] One of the aims of setting up the SEZs is to attract FDI, given its significant role in economic development [9] and it being an important source of non-debt financial resources [10]. In fact, FDI policies for SEZs are generally more liberal than that of for the country.…”

The introduction of Special Economic Zones (SEZs) in India has injected hope for augmented economic growth in recent future. The motive behind establishment of SEZs was mainly to fuel rapid economic growth, provide world class infrastructure and employment, promote exports, increase foreign exchange reserves and attract more Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). The main objective of the paper is to investigate whether the enactment of SEZ policies had any impact on inflow of FDI among Indian states. This is tested using panel data techniques on 16 groups of states over 14 years period from 2001 to 2014. The results indicate that enactment of SEZ policy (as well as operational SEZs) in a state has induced more FDI inflow. Based on the results, it can be concluded that the states, which want to benefit from FDI inflow, they need to enact the policies sooner.

“…Canfei (2006) also divided the China region into four regions, although these regions remained unnamed. After considering past studies, and considering that the sample companies lacked subsidiaries in the Western China region (for example, Xinjiang, Xizang, Qinghai, Ningxia, Gansu, Yunnan, and Guizhou Province) during the 1999 to 2007 research period, researchers felt that the Western region had little categorical significance.…”

“…As described earlier, in dividing China into four general regions for this research, this study considered the work of He et al (2008), Kang and Liao (2006), and Canfei (2006), and then considered the measurement methods of breadth and depth developed by Allen and Pantzalis (1996). Afterward, a "region" was established as the basis for calculating the breadth of foreign investment.…”

Previous studies on investment location focused on local environmental factors, but tended to overlook the fact that firms' host-country experience might have an impact on their location strategies and influence the investment performance. This study categorized location strategy in the breadth and depth of foreign investment and hotspots for investment to compensate for the inadequacy of relevant studies. This study chose 120 listed Taiwanese electronics companies that had invested in China between 1999 and 2007, as the research data, to examine the impact of host-country experience on the three types of location strategies and the impact of a specific location strategy on investment performance. This study discovered that as firms increased their host-country experience, the breadth, and depth of their foreign investment increased, as well as their investment in hotspots. In addition, the wider the range a firm's foreign investments were, the better their investment performance would be. The impact of diversity on investment performance had a deferred effect. However, if firms invested in foreign hotspots, their potential profit might decrease, due to strong competition that detracted from investment performance.

Toward circular economy: Implementing circular economy strategies to reduce carbon emissions in Chinese cities

To avert the worst impacts of climate change, greenhouse gas emissions must be reduced by 45% by 2030 and reach net zero by 2050, as outlined in the Paris Agreement. The circular economy (CE) is expected to play a key role in achieving this goal by changing consumption and production patterns. However, the actual impact of CE on reducing carbon emission intensity remains unclear, especially in developing countries. This paper examines the effect of CE‐associated actions on reducing carbon emission intensity in Chinese cities, utilizing CE pilot policy experimentation. We employ difference‐in‐differences (DID) methods with data from 282 cities spanning 2002 to 2012 to analyze the average treatment effect of CE actions. Our results show a significant reduction in carbon emission intensity in CE pilot cities compared to non‐pilot cities after the implementation of CE practices. Moreover, our estimates indicate that the carbon reduction effect strengthens over time, driven by the improvements in green innovation capacity and industrial structure upgrades. The effectiveness of CE varies across city types, with more pronounced impacts observed in economically underdeveloped and resource‐based cities. However, while CE practices reduce carbon emission intensity in pilot cities, significant spatial spillover effects increase emissions in neighboring cities. In conclusion, our findings underscore both the effectiveness and complexity of the CE pilot policy in reducing carbon emission intensity in Chinese cities.
