投资环境研究述评

20世纪60年代以来,投资环境逐渐成为区域科学研究的新兴领域。投资环境是一个内涵丰富的概念,文章总结了以往投资环境的定义,分析了其理论基础。对三十余年来国内外在投资环境理论与方法研究上取得的进展进行了回顾,指出了国外关于投资环境研究的三个阶段。并对国内投资环境研究的六个重要领域进行评述。在此基础上,指出了投资环境研究中存在五大问题:投资环境学的理论研究薄弱,学科体系不完善;对象性投资环境研究缺乏;缺乏投资环境绩效评价研究;投资环境评价标准不统一,难以实现资源共享;投资环境评估缺乏动态性、预测性。同时,提出要在投资环境后评价、对象性投资环境评价、可持续投资环境、投资环境信息系统、投资环境评价产业化等方面深化研究。

A COMMENTARY ON RESEARCH OF INVESTMENT CLIMATE

Since 1960s, Investment climate has become a new field in regional science. Investment climate is a conception which contains comprehensive connotations. The paper concludes all the existing definitions of the investment climate and pointes out its firm theoretical foundation including the regional distribution theory of labor, location theory, theories of regional economics and sustainable theory. In this paper, the progress of the investment climate theory and research method in the recent 30 years is reviewed(three stages and corresponding achievements of the Investment climate research abroad are pointed out), and six important fields in the domestic investment climate research are discussed:①the theoretical foundation of the Investment climate, the proposal of the conception and the discussion of its connotations and extensions; ②the evaluation of regional and urban investment climate from the investment and regional perspective separately, with an aim at the character of the region or city; ③the evaluation theory and methods of the investment climate including the evaluation method of the key factors, analyzing method of parameters, modern mathematic analysis method and GIS; ④the indicator system of evaluation of the investment climate including its contents and establishment principles; ⑤the evaluation of the industry investment climate and the contrast analysis of the different industrial investment climate in different regions; ⑥the system of the investment climate as a subject, the systematic establishment of the subject and the discussion of its relationship with other subjects. Based on this, the author points out five issues in the research, which are, the system of the investment climate is not established and the research of the investment climate theory is poor; object-oriented evaluation of the investment climate is insufficient and the evaluation aimed at different industries, objects and items need to be done; the scarcity of performance evaluation for investment climate and the evaluation aimed at the performance of the investment climate building need to be done; different criteria of evaluation and difficult to realize the share of the resources, and lots of static research but lack of dynamic research. For the more, it proposes further studies are expected to be done in some fields, such as, Reevaluation of investment climate, object-oriented evaluation of the investment climate, the sustainable investment climate, the investment climate information system, the industrialization of the investment climate, and so on.
