The Investment Climate and the Firm : Firm-Level Evidence from China
The importance of a country's "investment climate" for economic growth has recently received much attention. The authors address the general lack of appropriate data for measuring the investment climate and its effects. The authors use a new survey of 1,500 Chinese enterprises in five cities to more precisely define and measure components of the investment climate, highlight the importance of firm-level data for rigorous analysis of the investment climate, and investigate empirically the effects of this comprehensive set of measures on firm performance in China. Overall, their firm-level analysis reveals that the main determinants of firm performance in China are international integration, entry and exit, labor market issues, technology use, and access to external finance.

The importance of a country's
"investment climate" for economic growth has
recently received much attention. The authors address the
general lack of appropriate data for measuring the
investment climate and its effects. The authors use a new
survey of 1,500 Chinese enterprises in five cities to more
precisely define and measure components of the investment
climate, highlight the importance of firm-level data for
rigorous analysis of the investment climate, and investigate
empirically the effects of this comprehensive set of
measures on firm performance in China. Overall, their
firm-level analysis reveals that the main determinants of
firm performance in China are international integration,
entry and exit, labor market issues, technology use, and
access to external finance. |
