“双缺口”经济模型主要解决发展中国家在国内资源短缺的情况下利用国外资源的问题。在对外开放初期 ,“双缺口”经济模型成为中国利用外资的理论依据。 1 992年以后 ,中国引进外资从数量型向集约型转变 ,引进和利用外资进入了一个新的阶段。虽然现阶段“双缺口”经济模型已不再是引资的理论基础 ,但它对开放初期中国利用外资的指导作用不能低估 The “double-gap” economic model mainly addresses the issue of developing countries’ use of foreign resources with a shortage of domestic resources. In the early days of opening up, the “double-gap” economic model became the theoretical basis for China’s use of foreign investment. After 1992, China imported foreign capital from a quantitative type to an intensive type. The introduction and utilization of foreign investment entered a new phase. Although the “double-gap” economic model at this stage is no longer the theoretical basis for attracting foreign investment, its guiding role in the utilization of foreign capital in the early stage of opening up can not be underestimated
