Abstract

This paper studies the impact of foreign direct investment on local business creation by using a panel data set containing 31 provinces of China over 1992-2017. The study finds that the effect is positive and significant. The results are robust to alternative sets of control variables and different estimation strategies and different sample periods. On average about 16 percent of China’s local business creation growth can be attributed to FDI inflow over the entire sample period. The knowledge diffusion and technology transfer effect more than offset the crowding-out effect of FDI on local business creation in general during China’s economic transition.
