Research on the Measuring Methods of FDI Absorption Capacity in the Western Region: The Empirical Analysis of Eleven Target Places China

摘要

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is not allotted equally in different regions of China. Compared with the inward FDI in the eastern and mid region of China, the western region has attracted less FDI. Based on the AHP methodology, the study constructs the FDI absorption capacity hierarchical structure model for the eleven target places in western region China and concludes that the FDI absorption capacity is a complex chaos interconnected with the FDI attraction capacity, FDI utilization capacity and FDI extension capacity and it is an entangled combination of three self-organizing non-equilibrium subsystems with all concepts fundamental to economic leap.
