The Nonlinear Relationship Between FDI Technology Spillover And Financial Efficiency Based On Smooth Transition Regression Model

The financial development scale and financial efficiency has important effect onChinese economic growth and foreign direct investment technology spillover. Underthe situation that financial efficiency in China is relatively low; the externality offoreign investment spillover is limited. Although China is the biggest foreign directinvestment recipient, Chinese financial market development is inadequate; laggingbehind the development of the economic growth level, so the low level of Chinesefinancial efficiency is one short board of economic growth. We can see that it isnecessary to study the effect of financial efficiency on FDI technology spillover.We used the two departments’ model including the foreign capital enterprise anddomestic enterprise to analysis the theory of financial efficiency and FDI technologyspillover. After that, using the DEA model to build the financial variable to as thetransition variable, adopting panel data of34sectors from1995to2010, we buildpanel smooth transition regression models to study the relationship between financialefficiency and FDI technology spillover. We found that, the current coefficients ofhorizontal linkage spillover, backward linkage spillover and forward linkage spilloveris all comparatively significant, and the most important way of this effect is backwardlinkage spillover and the effect on forward linkage spillover is not significant, and theeffect on horizontal linkage spillover is significant but small. Through the analysis,we found that financial stability is one of the important factors of this effect offinancial on FDI technology spillover.
