9 Determinants of GVC FDI: Country Characteristics Dependent variable: D(exports>0 & imports >0) (1) (2) (3) (4) Log affiliate sales 0.038*** 0.036*** 0.037*** 0.044*** Log capital-labor ratio *** * *** *** Private credit 0.227*** Trade restrictiveness index *** Export upstreamness *** *** significant at 1%, ** significant at 5%, * significant at 10%. FDI = foreign direct investment, GVC = global value chain. Note: The dependent variable is a dummy variable equal to 1 if the affiliate firms report export and import activity. Capital-labor ratio indicates capital intensity with respect to labor, of the industry where the affiliate firm belongs to. The variable private credit refers to country-level private credit as share of GDP. The variable export upstreamness is a measure of the position the host economy occupies in the production process (natural resource extraction being the most upstream and the final assembly of export products most downstream), derived from Antras et al. (2012). Trade restrictiveness index is from the World Bank.
10 Special Economic Zones and GVC-FDI PRC = People s Republic of China, FDI = foreign direct investment, GVC = global value chain, km2 = square kilometer, SEZ = special economic zones. Notes: The number of SEZs is for GVC FDI refers to the fraction of foreign affiliates in the economy that exports.

25 PRC s Trade Policy Regime Continue liberalizing its trade and investment regime to reshape its economy o PRC President Xi Jinping reiterated the importance of free trade in his speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland on 17 January 2017 othe PRC-driven Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RECEP) may define the global trade architecture of the 21st century Promote "Going Abroad Policy Belt and Road Initiative
26 PRC s Trade Policy Trade agreements in effect (15): PRC-Hong Kong (2004) PRC-Macao (2004) ASEAN-PRC (2005) Asia-Pacific Trade Agreement (2005) PRC-Chile (2006) PRC-Pakistan (2007; FTA upgrading is currently under negotiation since 2011) New Zealand-PRC (2008; Start of negotiations for FTA upgrading announced 2016 ) PRC-Peru (2010) PRC-Taipei,China (2010) PRC-Costa Rica (2011) PRC-Singapore (2011) PRC-Iceland (2014) PRC-Switzerland (2014) PRC-Australia (2015) PRC-[Republic of] Korea (2015)
27 Success Factors in FTAs Deep integration FTAs increase trade among FTA partners (World Trade Report 2011) Deep integration FTAs vs Shallow integration FTAs Shallow integration FTAs: eliminate border measures (i.e. tariffs and quotas) Deep integration FTAs: address behind the border measures (i.e. domestic policies on investments, competition, IPR) WTO+ areas: Promotes deeper integration in areas covered by the WTO WTO-X areas: Includes policy areas not covered in WTO agreements (e.g. competition policy and investment)
28 Deep Integration FTAs: WTO+ and WTO-X Policy Areas WTO+ areas WTO-X areas Industrial goods Anti-corruption Health Agricultural goods Competition Policy Human rights Custom administration Environmental laws Illegal immigration Export taxes IPR Illicit immigration SPS measures Investment measures Illicit drugs State trading enterprises Labor market regulation Industrial cooperation Technical barriers to trade Movement of capital Information society Countervailing measures Consumer protection Mining Anti-dumping Data protection Money laundering State aid Agriculture Nuclear safety Public procurement Harmonization of legislation Political dialogue TRIMS measures Audiovisual Public administration GATS Civil protection Regional cooperation TRIPS Innovation policies Research and technology Cultural cooperation SMEs Economic policy dialogue Social matters Education and training Statistics Energy Financial assistance Taxation Terrorism Visa and asylum Notes: TRIMS = Trade Related Investment Measures.

31 Success Factors in BITs and RTIAs For BITs, ISDM is most effective to attract FDI (Asian Economic Integration Report 2016) o It can increase the number of FDI projects by 35.3% For RTIAs, nondiscrimination provisions(i.e. National Treatment and MFN clauses) are the most effective element in attracting FDI

37 OBOR and CPEC in a comparative context 37
38 Subregional initiatives: Development results CAREC - Significant decline in the time taken to cross borders - CAREC Institute -Almaty-Bishkek Corridor Initiative GMS - Near completion of transport component of its 3 main corridors - GMS Cross-Border Transport Facilitation Agreement fully ratified EAST ASIA - Trans-Mongolian CAREC Corridor - Training programs for GMS and CAREC - Regional Knowledge Sharing Initiative SASEC - Improved access to key markets in smaller economies - Decline in real trade costs - Cross-border power exchanges PACIFIC - Vessel Day scheme led to higher fisheries income - Endorsement of a framework for regional action on climate change 38

41 The concept of economic corridors What? Connects economic agents along a defined geography, and economic nodes or hubs Enables integrated economic networks Why? Policymakers aim to make more effective use of economic geography and move beyond physical connectivity through a multi-sector approach, with public and private sector participation. How? Stages of economic corridor development: Transport corridor Transport and trade facilitation corridor Logistics corridor Urban development corridor Economic corridor 41
42 Economic Corridor Development Transport and trade corridors Industrial clusters Urban development 42
43 Narrow Broad Four zones of economic corridor development Zone 2 National + Broad Area development, SMEs, rural roads Zone 4 Regional + Broad Cross-border economic zones Zone 1 National + Narrow Construction, upgrading Zone 3 Regional + Narrow Trade facilitation, logistics National Regional Source: Srivastava, P Regional Corridors Development in Regional Cooperation. ADB Economics Working Paper Series No Manila: ADB. 43
44 How does an Economic Corridor Develop? Stages Approach Transport corridor Physical infrastructure Multimodal Designed to reduce time and cost of movement of goods and people Transport and trade facilitation (TTF) corridor Soft infrastructure Harmonized corridor institutional framework to facilitate efficient flow of goods and people Measured by progress in cross-border transport operations and border formalities Logistics corridor Similar to TTF corridor, but also encompass warehousing and cold storage investments Urban development corridor Development of city-based economic clusters/nodes and agglomeration Enable multisector approach and private sector participation Transit corridor for landlocked May have some overlap between the stages countries Sources: Banomyong, 2007; Srivastava, 2011; ADB, CAREC 2012 Economic Corridor Attract investment and generate economic activities along less-developed areas Increased private sector participation Well-developed production chains
45 Economic Corridor Development in Practice: Evolution of ADB s approach Focus on infrastructure investment GMS Linking national to regional corridors Complementing investment in physical connectivity with trade facilitation Corridor town projects Synchronized infrastructure and urbanization strategy Planned economic corridors (Vizag-Chennai & Almaty-Bishkek) Linking major urban and industrial clusters (nodes) Node-centric infrastructure development Pre-requisite: certain level of industrial agglomeration in the nodes
46 Success and failure factors of SEZs Success factors Fiscal and non-fiscal incentives Factor costs Strategic location, multimodal connectivity Institutional capacity State and local governments commitment and policy stance Failure factors Ambitious goals relative to country s comparative advantage Zones as industrial islands (physical enclaves) Governance and rent seeking Wrong positioning Lack of localized strategy for upgrading industrial value chain and creating technology spillovers Link with development strategy and industrial policy Backward and forward linkages with domestic economy 46
47 Key Messages 47
48 Key Messages Given the challenging global environment, developing Asian economies need to integrate more forcefully within the region. PRC s structural transformation provides an opportunity to leverage abundant labor force: investments in infrastructure, hard and soft aspects of trade facilitation, integrated and well designed special economic zones, and improvement in regulatory quality are key.
49 Key Messages PRC-Pakistan FTA phase two negotiations ought to focus on (i) vigorously increasing the number of tariff lines covered (ii) expanding the coverage of export products in top concessional category (iii) harmonization of custom procedures (iv) behind the border trade facilitation measures. CPEC should be developed through a synchronized infrastructure and urbanization strategy: with multimodal transport networks and special economic zones to achieve industrial agglomeration.
