摘要
本文在中国加入WTO的自然实验框架下,采用倍差法重点研究了贸易自由化引致的进口竞争效应对产业升级的影响及机制。研究发现:贸易自由化通过进口竞争效应显著促进了产业结构优化,从而推动了中国产业升级;在考虑了识别假设条件和一系列其他可能干扰估计结果的因素后,这一结论依然成立。此外,不同层面的机制分解表明,加入WTO后在激增的进口竞争冲击驱动下,中国的产业升级主要源于资源在城市内产业间的优化再配置;企业动态调整对产业升级有正向作用;非国有企业相对于国有企业、内陆地区企业相对于沿海地区企业在产业升级过程中的表现要显著得多。
In this paper, we take China's entry into the WTO as a natural experiment to investigate the impact of the trade liberalization on industrial upgrading. We find that: ( 1 ) Import competition resulting from trade liberalization significantly promotes the optimization and hence the upgrading of industrial structure, which is robust to various estimations. (2) The mechanism decompositions at different levels show that after the WTO accession, China's industrial upgrading is largely attributed to the optimization of the inter-industrial resource reallocation within each city. The dynamic adjustments of firms have positive effects on the industrial upgrading. Non-SOEs and inland firms behave better than SOEs and coastal firms in industrial upgrading, respectively.
