国家创新型城市建设对我国FDI质量的影响

The Influence of Constructing National Innovative Cities on China’s FDI Quality

本文立足于国家创新型城市建设的政策背景,分析了我国本土企业生产率提升影响FDI质量的"回路效应",并结合2003-2015年间中国266个地级市的面板数据进行匹配实验,利用双重差分法予以检验。研究发现,国家创新型城市建设通过"回路效应"总体上提升了我国FDI质量,且对东部和中部地区FDI质量的促进作用更为明显,"回路效应"对我国FDI质量的正向作用在一年之后显现并持续存在。本文研究结论回应了近期中美贸易战有关知识产权的争论,对提升我国FDI质量具有重要的政策意涵。

Under the policy background of constructing national innovative cities, this paper analyzes the "loop effect" of the improvement of China’s native firms productivity on FDI quality. We conduct a match experiment using a prefecture-level panel data including 266 cities from 2003 to 2015. Then we examine the "loop effect" by the Difference-in-differences(DID) method. The results show that the construction of national innovative cities has generally promoted China’s FDI quality through the "loop effect". The positive effects are more significant in the eastern and central regions. The "loop effect" will appear one year later and last. The conclusions of this paper answer the debates on the intellectual property right in the Trade War between US and China. They also have important policy implications on how to improve China’s FDI quality.
