Abstract
We examine the cross‐industry influence of foreign entry regulation (based on a novel measure) on the productivity outcomes of downstream firms through the input‐output linkages in China. In contrast to the significant liberalization in the manufacturing sector, restrictions on the services sector remained stringent over period of 1997‐2007. We find a powerful depressant effect of foreign entry barriers imposed on the upstream manufacturing and services industries on the productivity of downstream manufacturers, and the effect depends on a number of industry‐ and firm‐specific features. Our research calls for further investment liberalization (particularly in the services sector) in China.
