Theoretical and Empirical Studies on Productivity, Changes in Industrial Structure, and Economic Growth in East Asia

本研究利用企业层面、地区层面和商品层面的宏观经济数据和微观经济数据，对东亚各国的生产率、产业结构变化和经济增长进行了理论和实证研究。实证研究包括：（1）利用微观数据分析区域贸易协定对非成员国出口和对外生产的影响;（2）利用区域和企业层面数据分析中国区域条件对日本子公司区位选择的影响;（3）基于包括企业层面数据在内的各种日本统计数据的计量经济学分析;主要内容包括：（1）比较亚洲与工业化国家R&D活动对FDI的影响，以及企业层面特征与对外外包的关系;（2）利用日本、美国和东亚的宏观经济联系模型，建立了一个以日本、美国和东亚为研究对象的模型;（3）建立了一个以日本、美国和东亚为研究对象的模型。 ...更多信息 （5）利用自己开发的非参数计量经济模型对东亚国家和地区的宏观需求冲击和供给冲击进行估计，并通过观察估计冲击的相关性来考察这一地区的相互依赖性，（6）考察外资企业和内资企业的生产率差异，以及出口、外国直接投资和企业生产率之间的关系，（7）利用国际商品流动数据检验HOV模型的基本假设--消费者偏好的同质性和位似性对真实的经济的适用性。发展内生增长模型，包括两个阶段的创新过程，研发和创业活动，并得出新的发现;研发效率的提高可能不会带来更快的增长，在创业活动水平低于研发活动水平的经济体中，对研发的补贴会抑制经济增长，提高创业效率和对创业活动的补贴总是会导致更快的增长，（2）发展新的谈判理论，将其应用于国际贸易和环境，（3）对有效的贸易政策进行理论审查，以补救跨界污染，在本研究期间，召开了两次国际性会议和一次区域性会议，来自国内外的与会者对研究成果进行了报告和讨论。少

This research project has conducted both the theoretical and empirical studies on the productivity, the changes in industrial structure, and economic growth in East Asian countries, by using macroeconomic and microeconomic data including firm-level, region-specific and commodity data. The empirical studies include (1)the analysis of the effect of the regional trade agreements on exports and foreign production of non-member countries, by using micro data, (2)the analysis of the effects of Chinese regional conditions on the location choice of Japanese affiliates, by using regional and firm-level data, (3)the econometric analyses, based on various Japanese statistics including firm-level data, of the topics include the comparison of the impact of R&D on FDI in Asia vs. industrialized countries, and the relationship between firm-level characteristics and the foreign outsourcing, (4)the development of the model on the macroeconomic interlinkage between Japan, US and East Asia using the fram … More ework of "New Open Macroeconomics" and the simulation method to study what kind of basket weights are optimal for East Asia, from the viewpoint of trade balance stabilization, (5)the estimation of macro demand and supply shocks in the countries and areas in East Asia by using the nonparametric econometric model developed by himself and investigated the interdependence in this area by observing the correlation of the estimated shocks, (6)the examinations of the difference of productivity between foreign-owned and domestically-owned firms and the relationship among exports, foreign direct investment, and productivity of the firm, (7)the test of the applicability of the identical and homothetic consumer's preference as a basic assumption of HOV model to the real economy by using international commodity flow data.The theoretical studies include (1)the development of endogenous growth model with a two-stage innovation process, R&D and entrepreneurship activity, and the derivation of new findings ; the improvement of the efficiency of R&D may not lead to faster growth, subsidies on R&D depress economic growth in the economy in which the level of entrepreneurship activity is lower than that of R&D activity, and the improvement of the efficiency of entrepreneurship and subsidies on entrepreneurship activity always causes faster growth, (2)the development of new bargaining theory to be applied to international trade and environment, (3)the theoretical examination of effective trade policies to remedy transboundary pollution, which is often thought of as unfavorable byproducts of economic growth.During the period of this research, two international and one regional conferences were held with the participants from foreign and home, in which research results were reported and discussed.
