报告摘要

   This presentation studies whether foreign investment deregulation promotes firm innovation in a difference-in-differences setting. A theoretical framework with both spillover and competition effects from more foreign firms induced by foreign investment is built to guide the empirical evaluation. Exploiting the data on Chinese firm-level patents and the policy of foreign investment deregulation in a difference-in-differences setting, a significantly positive impact of foreign investment deregulation on firm innovation is found. Moreover, there is a robust heterogeneity that the impact is prominent in the firms with high productivity while being insignificant in the firms with low productivity, which is consistent with the theoretical framework.
