Fdi in China: An Asian Perspective by Yasheng Huang, ISBN 9622018491
China is the largest recipient of foreign direct investment (FDI) among developing countries. In his book FDI in China, Yasheng Huang compares China's FDI performance with a number of other Asian countries to focus on the policy and institutional factors that have led to a large demand for FDI in China. These factors include import substitution, excess investment demand, and features of China's FDI regulatory system.
This study shows that there are costs associated with such a high demand for FDI, including overbidding for FDI and the associated loss of Chinese bargaining power, large import demand, and the structure of the FDI at variance with Chinese official policies. In conclusion, Huang briefly discusses the foreign economic policy implications of China's FDI absorption and suggests some future research possibilities.This book will be of interest to scholars and historians of modern China, especially those who specialize in its economic development.Yasheng Huang is Associate Professor of Business, Government, and International Relations, Harvard Business School and Fellow at the William Davidson Institute, Michigan Business School, the Center for Chinese Economic Research at Tsinghua University, and the Institute of International Relations at Peking University. He is also the author of Inflation and Investment Controls in China: The Political Economy of Central-Local Relations During the Reform Era.

Uncertainty is an ever-present and ineradicable aspect of politics, affecting all important issues of governance and policy. Rather than treating the uncertainty of politics as a mystery, this book provides an original and direct treatment of political uncertainty as a scientifically-knowable phenomenon. The author shows how probability and mathematical modeling can play a central role in understanding a range of complex and fundamental issues in both domestic and international politics.
