Share Equity, Share Technology: Quid Pro QuoFDI and the International Technology Diffusion to Chinese Firms
Abstract
The fast rising of the competitiveness of and the competition from Chinese firms has produced profound impacts around the world. This fast rising is puzzling given the low institutional quality and the weak technology creation capability in China. This paper provides an explanation for the productivity growth of Chinese firms from a novel perspective. We take into account the notable quid pro quo FDI policy in China (which requires multinationals to transfer technology through forming joint-ventures in return for market access) and check the role of the ownership structure of FDI in international technology diffusion to Chinese firms. We find that the presence of China-foreign joint ventures (JVs) is associated with significantly positive technology diffusion effects, while the presence of wholly-foreign-owned firms (WFOs) is associated with significantly negative market competition effects. These impacts are heterogeneous, robust to different tests. As for the mechanism, JVs seem bringing better technology to China and also easier technology access to Chinese firms than WFOs.

摘要:
本文基于中国1952-2000年的省级面板数据,使用Hsiao et al. (2012)发展的一种用面板数据构造反事实的方法, 评估了唐山地震及其重建工作对当地经济增长的长期影响。我们发现唐山地震的灾后重建工作对灾区经济产生了长期的、持续的正向影响。与如果地震没有发生的情况相比,河北省的固定资产投资增长也更多,但是投资不能完全解释河北GDP的增长。最后我们也发现唐山地震的灾后重建主要影响第二产业的增长,对第一、第三产业的影响甚微或者根本没有。这一结果也与档案资料中记载的唐山灾后重建主要集中于第二产业这一事实一致。本文的结果一方面印证了熊彼特的创造性破坏理论,另一方面也凸显了自然灾害后经济增长的机会。
