Foreign direct investment and industrial agglomeration: Evidence from China
This paper studies the effect of foreign direct investment (FDI) on industrial agglomeration. Using the differential effects of FDI deregulation in 2002 in China on different industries, we find that FDI affects industrial agglomeration negatively. As FDI brings technological spillovers and various agglomeration benefits, other forces must be at work to drive this empirical finding. We propose a simple theory that FDI may discourage industrial agglomeration due to fiercer competition pressure. We find various evidence of this competition mechanism. We also find that FDI deregulation is conducive to industrial growth, but the dispersion induced by FDI deregulation reduces the positive effect of FDI on the growth rate by 8 to 14%.
期刊介绍:
The mission of the Journal of Comparative Economics is to lead the new orientations of research in comparative economics. Before 1989, the core of comparative economics was the comparison of economic systems with in particular the economic analysis of socialism in its different forms. In the last fifteen years, the main focus of interest of comparative economists has been the transition from socialism to capitalism.
