题目:The Gravity of Intermediate Inputs in Productivity Spillovers: Evidence from China’s Inward Foreign Direct Investment

摘要:We develop a partial equilibrium model to illustrate that upstream foreign direct investment (FDI) generates heterogeneous productivity spillovers to downstream domestic firms through the gravity of intermediate inputs. Our model predicts that a domestic firm enjoys a higher productivity if it can get access to more intermediate inputs sold by FDI firms (general productivity-enhancing effect) and it is geographically closer to its upstream FDI firms (proximity effect). We use Chinese firm-level data from 2000 to 2007 to empirically identify these two tiers of productivity spillover effects. If a Chinese domestic firm’s upstream FDI intermediate input share increases by 1 percentage point, the productivity of this firm will increase by 2.8%. And if this firm is 1% geographically closer to its upstream FDI firms (on average 3 kilometers), its productivity is 0.06% higher than an otherwise identical firm. The results are robust qualitatively and quantitatively after we control for the labor and capital good market externalities, the upstream aggregate domestic productivity, other potential FDI spillover channels, and the endogenous FDI location choice.
