英文摘要王璐航系厦门大学经济学科2012年新引进的助理教授,博士毕业于加拿大多伦多大学经济系,主要研究兴趣为中国经济、国际贸易与应用微观经济学。其论文曾在比较经济学国际重要期刊Journal of Comparative Economics上发表。本次王璐航发表在《美国经济评论》的论文利用中国加入WTO带来的关税变化研究中国最终产品以及中间投入品的市场开放对于制造业绩效的影响。研究发现最终产品关税的降低一方面压缩了大企业的价格加成,另一方面推动了行业生产效率的提高。与其他国家的经验不同,中国行业效率提升的主要原因是竞争机制的强化进而筛选出了更好的新企业进入。伴随着中间品关税的降低,中国的中间品进口增长有限,但是中间品价格大幅下降。得益于由此带来的成本降低,企业提高了加成率。中间品市场的变化也对新进入企业的生产效率有正的贡献。该文也是厦大经济学科“海归”教师在国际顶级期刊发表研究中国经济问题的众多学术论文的一个典型代表。; 【Abstract】China’s policy-makers argued that WTO accession and the accompanying trade liberalization would have a beneficial impact on the domestic economy. China’s import tariffs differed tremendously across industry in the earlier years, but converged to an almost uniform low level after WTO entry. We exploit sectoral variation in the extent of tariff reduction to identify the impact of increased import competition on firm performance and its contribution to the significant productivity growth over the 1995–2007 period. We find evidence of strong downward pressure on prices and mark-ups, but limited evidence that imports took away market share from domestic firms. Furthermore, much of the effects on sectoral productivity come from changes at the extensive margin. Sectors that liberalized most tend to attract especially productive entrants, private firms in particular, which can be rationalized by an increase in the minimum productivity threshold needed to survive in these sectors.; seminar participants at Columbia University, the Universities of Zurich, Nottingham, and Frankfurt, and several conferences for comments.
