Abstract:

By collecting the data of FDI on China seaport construction from 1991 to 2011, and using the nearest point coefficient and Gini coefficient, this paper quantitatively analyzed the spatial and temporal distribution of FDI on China Seaport Construction in three following periods: 1991-1997, 1991-2003 and 1991-2011. Statistics showed that temporal distribution of FDI on China seaport construction was relatively concentrated, and had very strong cyclical quality. Calculation results of the nearest point coefficient and Gini coefficient showed that respectively, the distribution of seaports invested by foreign was aggregated and the distribution of FDI in port groups was unbalanced in each period. But the aggregated and unbalanced degree experienced the same process that first got bigger and then became smaller.
