Outward FDI and Domestic Input Distortions: Evidence from Chinese Firms*
No. E2016001 February
Cheng Chen+ Wei Tianz Miaojie Yux
February 3, 2016
Abstract. This study examines how domestic distortions affect firms’ investment strategies abroad. The study first documents puzzling empirical findings concerning Chinese multinational corporations, which include that private multinational corporations are less productive than state-owned multinational corporations. A theoretical model is built to rationalize these findings and yields additional empirical predictions that are consistent with the initial empirical findings. The key insight is that discrimination against private firms domestically incentivizes these firms to produce abroad, which results in less tough selection into foreign direct investment for them. A calibration exercise shows the quantitative impacts of domestic distortions on gains in aggregate productivity after investment liberalization.
JEL: F13, O11, P51.
Keywords: Outward FDI, Multinational Firms, Institutional Distortion, State-owned Enterprises讨论稿全文： Outward FDI
