Abstract

Groenewold N., Chen A. and Lee G. Inter-regional spillovers of policy shocks in China, Regional Studies. Inter-regional output spillovers from policy shocks are analysed in a three-region vector-autoregressive (VAR)-based model of China using investment as the policy variable. The contemporaneous effect of policy is greater in the coastal region than in the other two regions, and the effect in the central region is larger than in the western region, suggesting that at least part of the expenditure boosts in the poorer inland regions find their way to the coastal provinces. These results are confirmed when the effects of the policy shocks are simulated over time and are found to be generally robust to alternative model specifications.

A partir d'un modele de la Chine a trois regions du type VAR, on analyse les retombees interregionales de production qui resultent des chocs politiques, employant l'investissement comme variable de politique. L'effet contemporain de la politique s'avere plus important dans la zone cotiere qu'il ne l'est dans les deux autres regions, et l'effet dans la region centrale s'avere plus important qu'il ne l'est dans la region occidentale, ce qui laisse supposer que l'impulsion donnee aux depenses dans les zones interieures plus defavorisees alimente dans une certaine mesure les provinces cotieres. Les resultats se confirment suite a une simulation des effets temporels des chocs de politique et s'averent fiables en regle generale par rapport aux autres specifications des modeles. Chine Regional Retombees de politique Groenewold N., Chen A. und Lee G. Interregionale Ubertragungen aufgrund politischer Schocks in China, Regional Studies. Wir analysieren interregionale Leistungsubertragungen aufgrund politischer Schocks in einem VAR-basierten Dreiregionen-Modell von China, wobei wir die Investitionen als politische Variable heranziehen. Die zeitgleichen Effekte der Politik fallen in der Kustenregion starker aus als in den anderen beiden Regionen, und der Effekt in der zentralen Region ist grosser als in der westlichen Region. Dies lasst darauf schliessen, dass zumindest ein Teil der Ausgabensteigerungen in den armeren Inlandregionen seinen Weg in die Kustenprovinzen findet. Die Ergebnisse bestatigen sich, wenn wir die Effekte uber den Zeitraum der politischen Schocks hinweg simulieren, und erweisen sich generell als robust gegenuber alternativen Modellspezifikationen. China Regional Politikubertragungen Groenewold N., Chen A. y Lee G. Desbordamientos interregionales en los choques politicos en China, Regional Studies. Con ayuda de las inversiones como nuestra variable politica, analizamos los desbordamientos de la produccion interregional de los choques de la politica a traves de un modelo VAR basado en tres regiones de China. El efecto contemporaneo de la politica es superior en la region costera que en las otras dos y el efecto en la region central es mayor que en la region occidental lo que sugiere que como minimo parte de los impulsos inversores en las regiones interiores mas pobres se orientan hacia las provincias costeras. Estos resultados se confirman cuando simulamos los efectos durante el transcurso del tiempo de los choques politicos y observamos que, en general, son contundentes comparandolos con especificaciones de modelos alternativos.
