Abstract
This study explores the effect of an investment system reform (deregulation) on the innovation performance of private firms in China. Using a difference-in-differences approach on the data on patent applications of private firms from 1998 to 2009, this study confirms the positive relationship between investment deregulation and innovation performance. We also find that the positive relationship is moderated by types of innovation, firm size and international orientation, and regional patent promotion policy. The study further finds evidence that investment deregulation stimulates innovation performance through two mechanisms, the escaping competition effect, and the preemptive patenting effect. Moreover, investment deregulation may improve the innovation performance of private firms by encouraging investment in fixed capital.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Financial Stability provides an international forum for rigorous theoretical and empirical macro and micro economic and financial analysis of the causes, management, resolution and preventions of financial crises, including banking, securities market, payments and currency crises. The primary focus is on applied research that would be useful in affecting public policy with respect to financial stability. Thus, the Journal seeks to promote interaction among researchers, policy-makers and practitioners to identify potential risks to financial stability and develop means for preventing, mitigating or managing these risks both within and across countries.
