Meanwhile, the trade policy of the host government is taken into account. It is concluded that the more open the economy and the more intense the competition, the less profitable the integration; the most important determinant to the changes of the domestic social welfare is the industry strength of the host country. The host authority can enhance the domestic social welfare in two ways： to adjust the trade policy and to only approve the socially desirable cross-border mergers and acquisitions.

Productivity Growth in the Chinese Economy by Industry and the Role of Foreign Capital

The purpose of this paper is to estimate total factor productivity （TFP） growth in China by industry. As well as reviewing some previous studies on TFP growth in China, the authors present their estimation of TFP growth in China for two periods, 1987-1992 and 1992-1997. During both periods, output growth was as high as double digits. However, the differences in TFP growth between these two periods were remarkable. In the first period, wide-ranging TFP growth was observed, whereas in the latter period, high TFP growth was concentrated in industries such as ＂transportation equipment＂ and ＂electric machinery＂, which are known for actively introducing foreign capital and technologies. In fact, positive relations were confirmed among TFP growth, export performance, and the introduction of foreign capital. Foreign capital made a large contribution to China＇s exportled growth.
