东亚的生产网络，特别是由机械工业扩大的生产网络，在该区域的经济中具有前所未有的重要性，其地理延伸，以及在结合公司内部交易和公平交易方面的复杂性。特别是，在发展中国家，生产活动的分散以及工业聚集的形成是一种新现象，将导致东亚经济发展模式。本文首先简要回顾了基于碎片化理论的概念框架，并结合国际贸易统计等进行了实证综述，然后对以往东亚微观数据分析所建立的实证证据进行了综述，并提出了未来研究应探索的实证问题。主题包括(1)出口商和投资者的选择，(2)生产网络的组织结构和空间设计，(3)区位选择，(4)对外直接投资对发达国家的影响，(5)对外直接投资对最不发达国家的学习和影响。
Production networks in East Asia, particularly being extended by machinery industries, have presented unprecedented development with their significance in economies in the region, their geographical extension, and their sophistication in combining intra-firm and arm's length transactions. In particular, the fragmentation of production activities together with the formation of industrial agglomerations in developing countries is a novel phenomenon that would lead to an East Asian model of economic development. Starting from a brief review of our conceptual framework based on the fragmentation theory as well as an empirical overview with international trade statistics and others, the paper presents a survey on empirical evidences that have been established by previous micro-data analyses in East Asia and discusses a list of empirical issues that future studies should explore. Topics include (i) the selection of exporters and investors, (ii) organizational structure and spatial design of production networks, (iii) location choice, (iv) impacts of outward FDI on developed countries, and (v) learning and impacts of inward FDI on LDCs.
