The Determinants of FDI Inflow after Reform-Opening of China

중국에서 개혁·개방이후 FDI유입에 영향을 미치는 요인들

China has retained economic growth rate of average 9% for more than ten years recently after China introduced capitalistic market economy system in 1979 by Deng Xiaoping. China has attracted foreign direct investment for a long time because it has retained very high economic growth rate, low labor cost, and various policies for foreign investors. This paper tries to analyse the determinants of foreign direct investment inflow after reform-opening of China with empirical analysis methods utilizing each province·city's specific characteristics by using the panel data from 1985 to 2013. For the empirical analysis we use random effect model, fixed effect model, pooled OLS, and random coefficient model. The results by pooled OLS and random coefficient model are presented for the comparison with the main results in the process of research. The research shows the results by fixed effect model are better than those by random effect model after doing Hausman's test. The results shows that GRDP, capital stock, and telecommunication exert a positive relationship with foreign direct investment, while express way variable exerts a negative one. China's education level surprisingly does not attract foreign direct investment even though it is not at a critical level. Therefore, the Chinese government should try to increase national income level as it symbolizes market size; encourage domestic investment; and construct high quality telecommunication infrastructure.

중국은 1979년부터 본격적으로 시장경제체제를 도입함으로써 급격한 경제성장을 이루었는데, 본고는 저임금과 중국정부의 적극적인 외자유치정책을 활용하기 위해 밀려들어온 외국인투자에 어떤 요인들이 영향을 미쳤는지를 검토하기 위해 1979년부터 2013년까지의 패널데이터를 이용해서 각 성·시의 고유한 특성까지 활용하는 실증분석을 시도한다. 실증분석을 위해 본고는 확률효과모형, 고정효과모형, Pooled OLS, 그리고 확률계수모형을 사용하는데, Pooled OLS와 확률계수모형의 결과는 본 연구의 분석결과와 비교를 위해서 제시된다. Hausman' test 결과 Random Effect Model보다는 Fixed Effect Model이 더 효율적인 분석결과를 제시하는 것으로 나타나 이를 근거로 중국정부에 대한 정책적 시사점을 제시한다. 분석결과는 FDI유입에 각 성·시의 지역소득수준, 자본량, 통신비는 긍정적인 영향을 미치고 고속도로는 부정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타난다.
