Abstract

Aim/purpose – This paper surveys three decades of empirical literature on foreign direct investment (FDI) and international trade across the former Soviet economic space. In this survey, we outline the current state of research, discuss data limitations, and iden- tify topics for further studies. Design/methodology/approach – The methodology used in this study is a systematic literature review. Multiple databases were searched, including Google Scholar, IDEAS (RePEc), JSTOR, Web of Science, and others. In total, 59 papers published between 1990 and 2023 were analyzed. Findings – Our findings are severalfold. First, we highlight severe data collection prob- lems related to foreign equity and trade outside the Baltics, Ukraine, Russia, and some Central Asian Republics (CARs). As a result, we point out the limited availability of studies that use contemporary data and cover important economic events, such as the European accession of the Baltics, the formation of new preferential trade agreements, and economic re-integration centered around Russia, and Ukraine’s political stability. Research implications/limitations – This study should assist researchers in identifying prospective research directions in post-communist economic research. The main limita- tions of this survey are i) the total number of papers surveyed (59), ii) the focus on em- pirical studies, and iii) the specific geographical area considered. Originality/value/contribution – Despite the critical role of FDI and trade in transition- al economies, plenty of relevant topics have remained undiscovered (e.g., the relation- ship between outward FDI and profit shifting). To the best of our knowledge, no system- atic survey has been done on these two areas of research. Keywords: Foreign direct investment, international trade. JEL Classification: F13, F15, F23, P33.
前苏联经济体的外国直接投资和国际贸易:经过30年的研究,我们知道什么?
目的/目的-本文调查了前苏联经济空间三十年来关于外国直接投资(FDI)和国际贸易的实证文献。在这项调查中,我们概述了目前的研究状况,讨论了数据的局限性,并确定了进一步研究的主题。设计/方法/方法-本研究中使用的方法是系统的文献综述。检索了多个数据库,包括谷歌Scholar、IDEAS (RePEc)、JSTOR、Web of Science等。总共分析了1990年至2023年间发表的59篇论文。发现-我们的发现是多方面的。首先,我们强调了严重的数据收集问题——与波罗的海国家、乌克兰、俄罗斯和一些中亚共和国(CARs)以外的外国股权和贸易相关的问题。因此,我们指出,使用当代数据并涵盖重要经济事件的研究的可用性有限,例如波罗的海国家加入欧洲,新的优惠贸易协定的形成,以及以俄罗斯为中心的经济重新整合,以及乌克兰的政治稳定。研究意义/局限性-本研究应有助于研究者确定后共产主义经济研究的前瞻性研究方向。本调查的主要限制是:(1)调查论文的总数(59),(2)实证研究的重点,(3)所考虑的特定地理区域。独创性/价值/贡献——尽管FDI和贸易在转型经济体中发挥着关键作用,但许多相关主题仍未被发现(例如,对外直接投资与利润转移之间的关系)。就我们所知,还没有对这两个领域的研究做过系统的调查。关键词:外商直接投资;国际贸易;JEL分类:F13, F15, F23, P33。
