Abstract

Zusammenfassung Die üblichen positiven Effekte von Auslandsinvestitionen gelten für Firmenübernahmen durch chinesische Käufer nur eingeschränkt. Diese Investitionen sind — wie zahlreiche Indizien zeigen — teilweise auch mit einem Technologietransfer verbunden. Damit wird ein schnelles technologisches Aufholen Chinas begünstigt, das in den Industrieländern unter gewissen Annahmen zu Wohlstandsverlusten führen könnte. Dies legen Außenhandelsmodelle nahe, deren Annahmen bei genauerer Prüfung nicht unrealistisch erscheinen.
