摘要: 借助Dow和Karunaratna关于心理距离的多维度指标体系和跨国数据,通过改进Kought和Singh提出的指数构造方法,构造具有时变性和方向性的心理距离指标,并利用40个国家间双边FDI的实际数据,使用扩展的投资引力模型,对心理距离作用于FDI区位选择的影响程度进行了实证分析。实证分析结果表明,心理距离对FDI区位选择具有显著的负向影响,启示各国应在语言、宗教信仰、文化、受教育程度、产业发展程度等方面加强彼此间的交流与了解,从而缩小心理距离,促进FDI发展,进而促进世界经济增长与全球化进程。

关键词: 心理距离, 对外直接投资, 区位选择, 引力模型

Abstract: Using transnational data and the multidimensional index system of psychic distance from Dow and Karunaratna, this paper constructs the psychic distance index with time-varying and directionality by modifying the index construction method proposed by Kought and Singh. It then adopts 40 actual FDI(Foreign Direct Investment)data of country parts and the extended investment gravity model to empirically test the impact of psychic distance on FDI location choices. The empirical analysis shows that psychic distance has a significantly negative impact on the FDI location choice. It is suggested that countries should strengthen mutual exchange and understanding in terms of language, religious beliefs, culture, degree of education and degree of industrial development in order to narrow psychic distance and to promote FDI. And thus, it can help to promote world economic growth and globalization.

Key words: psychic distance, foreign direct investment, location selection, gravity model
