摘要

在对中非知识转移的现有文献进行简要回顾的基础上,这篇介绍性文章阐明了本期专题研究的目的、方法和主要发现。为了调查中国外国直接投资项目对非洲技术学习的影响,一个由SAIS-CARI研究人员组成的团队在六个非洲国家进行了实地研究。据我们所知,这是首次对中非知识转移进行如此全面的分析。我们的研究发现,农业和制造业的大部分投资来自中小型私营企业,这些企业受市场因素驱动,在中国政府之外运作。研究表明,中国在非洲的投资有助于招聘和培训当地员工,展示先进技术,并与当地企业合作;然而,知识转移的有效性和可持续性在不同部门和国家之间存在差异。

Chinese FDI and impacts on technology transfer, linkages, and learning in Africa: evidence from the field
ABSTRACT Based on a brief review of the existing literature on knowledge transfer between Chinese and Africans, this introductory essay sheds light on the purpose, methodologies, and main findings of this special issue. Aiming to investigate the impacts of Chinese FDI projects on technology learning in Africa, a team of SAIS-CARI researchers conducted field research in six African countries. To our knowledge, this is the first time such a comprehensive analysis on China-Africa knowledge transfer has been carried out. Our research finds that the majority of investments in agricultural and manufacturing comes from private small-to-medium sized companies that are driven by market factors and operate outside the Chinese government. The research suggests that Chinese investments in Africa have contributed to hiring and training local employees, demonstrated advanced technologies, and cooperated with local enterprises; however, the effectiveness and sustainability of the knowledge transfer varies across different sectors and countries.
