| Summary/Abstract |
Using a large panel dataset covering all manufacturing firms (above a minimum scale) in China from 1998 to 2005, this paper examines whether there exist productivity spillovers from foreign direct investment (FDI) to domestic firms. In estimating productivity, we control for a possible simultaneity bias by using semi-parametric estimation techniques. We find that Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan (HMT) invested firms generate negative horizontal spillovers, while Non-HMT foreign invested firms (mostly from OECD countries) tend to bring positive horizontal spillovers in China. These two opposing horizontal effects seem to cancel out at the aggregate level. We also find strong and robust vertical spillover effects on both state-owned firms and non-state firms. However, vertical spillover effects from export-oriented FDI are weaker than those from domestic-market-oriented FDI.

| Summary/Abstract |
While much research on migration and China focuses on the overseas Chinese, this research will instead analyse the migration of Taiwanese to China. This article uses data gathered in Dongguan and Shanghai in 2004-5 with follow-up interviews in 2008-10 to study the migration experiences of Taiwanese in China and to illustrate how class affects the migration of the privileged. Despite the diverse backgrounds of the female respondents considered in this article, most of them had a higher socio-economic status than the Chinese people they encountered. Because of the difference in social class, the respondents were reluctant to mix with locals. The ensuing sense of alienation has partly caused the respondents to identify themselves as less Chinese than before moving to China.

| Summary/Abstract |
We evaluated whether China's overseas investments in energy infrastructure were dirtier or cleaner after the Belt and Road Initiative than those of other countries with similar project and host country characteristics. We used the energy infrastructure project data from the World Bank's private participation in infrastructure database, which allows comparison among countries of investment and controls for the influences of host countries' demand. Our main findings are as follows. First, during our sample period from 2006 to 2019, the average investment volume of projects funded by China was significantly higher overall including in conventional energy projects, compared to those with other financial sources and similar features. Second, after the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), the volume of projects invested in by China was comparatively smaller in conventional energy projects but larger in renewable energy projects. Third, the choice of technology type in energy projects reflected path dependency effects on both the investment and host countries' sides. Nevertheless, after the Belt and Road Initiative, China had actively begun to break away from these effects, investing more in clean energy overseas.
