国际贸易论文：国际贸易视角下外商直接投资对制造业部门的影响中国和印度的比较研究 本文是一篇国际贸易论文，本结果表明，中国制造业对外商直接投资对制造业增长的影响具有统计显著性，然而，国内投资对制造业增长的影响微不足道甚至产生了负面影响。同样，研究结果表明外国直接投资对印度制造业产生了重大而积极的影响。但是，两个重要的解释变量即人力资本和国内投资的影响微不足道。结果证实，与印度相比，中国外国直接投资对制造业增长产生了显著的积极影响，虽然印度利用外商直接投资也显示出积极的影响，但它远远落后于中国市场。  CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION  1.1 Introduction and Background Over the past few decades, FDI has remarkably increased throughout the world, exceeding the growth of international trade and world production (Herzer and Klasen 2008, Simionca 2013).

Its importance has enforced the countries to adopt favorable policies in order to attract more FDI and to access modern technologies. In this context, developing countries created a history in 2012 for the very first time and received more FDI than developed countries. A total of nine development countries secure their position in the list of twenty largest FDI recipients in the world (UNCTAD 2013). The importance of FDI has revitalized the debate about its costs and benefits and several developing countries are taking measures to attract higher FDI flows based on this supposition that it is an important stimulus for economic growth (Aykut and Sayek 2007). Manufacturing has traditionally played a key role in the economic growth of developing as well as the developed countries. Development of any country is largely reliant on its manufacturing sector of the economy (Szirmai 2012). Historically, it has been proved to be the driver of economic growth and it i
