2 uotaintro Roadmap Reform Review A Conceptual Framework Data Motivation and Identi cation Research Question Results Conclusion Main Results Motivation What are s (SEZ)s? A demarcated area of land within a country to encourage foreign invested industry and services for exports using special laws and policies. In Chinese context, SEZ means a land using property rights protection, tax breaks and a preferential land policy for foreign investors.
3 uotaintro Roadmap Reform Review A Conceptual Framework Data Motivation and Identi cation Research Question Results Conclusion Main Results Why study Chinese s (SEZ)s? During the last 30 years, China has been greatly integrated into the world in terms of its FDI, exports and foreign exchange reserve. SEZs are very important institutional foundations which drove the phenomenon and have been underexplored. World Bank (2008), 3000 zones in 135 countries today, accounting for over 68 million direct jobs and over $500 billion of direct trade-related value added. The exact economic impact of SEZs is empirically understudied.

I collect a unique and comprehensive municipality level dataset from 1978 to 2007 to study: Is SEZ e ective in boosting FDI related outcome?

Does SEZ come in the price of crowding out domestic investment? Does SEZ bring higher total factor productivity growth?

13 uotaintro Roadmap Reform Review A Conceptual Framework Data Mapand Privilege Identi cation Results Conclusion Packages o ered to foreign investors within SEZs Property Rights Protection: Protect the foreign investors property when the constitution of China is not amended until Tax incentive: Reduced rate (15-24%) of corporate income tax. Virtually zero custom duties. Income tax exemptions for foreigners working in SEZs Land and utility bill: >15 years investment free land use fee; or ve years free, ve years half. 20% o in electricity, water bill, & exemption from local levies. Liberal economic and labor laws: Limited restrictions on foreign ownerships. Power to hire and re. Working permit for foreigners who work in the zones.
14 uotaintro Roadmap Reform Review A Conceptual Framework Data and Identi cation Results Conclusion A Conceptual Framework Foreign Firm Decision: SEZ by in uencing property rights protection, corporate tax rate and land rental rate will attract FDI. Hypothesis 1 LnFDI it = α + η SEZdummy it +X it β + ξ it Capital Formation: SEZ by attracting FDI, may crowd out or not of domestic investment & capital depending on the interaction between FDI and domestic economy. Hypothesis 2 LnDomI it =φ + γ SEZdummy it +X it β + ξ it LnDomK it =φ + γ SEZdummy it +X it β + ξ it Technology Progress: If SEZ brings not only foreign capital, but also more advanced technology, it will increase TFP growth. Hypothesis 3 TFP TFP = λ i +γ SEZdummy it +ε it

17 uotaintro Roadmap Reform Review A Conceptual Framework Data DatandIdenti cation Results Conclusion Identi cation: Dif-in-Dif with Matching For dif-in-dif estimates to be unbiased, the timing of the SEZ experiment should be random. Then late treated municipalities are valid control groups for early ones. But is the timing of SEZ granting random? No. A possible identi cation strategy is to assume that given a score of relevant selection criteria X, outcomes are independent of treatment assignment, i.e. SEZ timing is random conditional on P(X ). I use nearest neighbor approach to match early treated municipalities with the closest counterparts that had SEZs later. Propensity score estimation using a probit model PrfD = 1jX g X = (industrial output, education, geographical location) D = 1 is de ned as being granted SEZs by 1992; D = 0 otherwise. Restrict sample to matched 247 municipalities.

19 uotaintro Roadmap Reform Review A Conceptual Framework Data DatandIdenti cation Results Conclusion Identi cation: Later SEZs only Speci cation Is the result mainly driven by the potential "Special" group which were granted SEZs earlier? After 1990s, big wave in granting, less concern on selection. Restrict sample to municipalities having SEZs post 1990.

SEZ, bringing more advanced FDI, increase municipality TFP growth by 0.6 percentage points.
