公司投资如何响应“一带一路”倡议?—基于准自然实验的经验研究How Does Corporate Investment Respond to the Belt and Road Initiative? Evidence from a Quasi-natural Experiment
陈胜蓝,刘晓玲
摘要(Abstract):
"一带一路"倡议对中国及沿线国家所产生的宏观经济效应已经受到了广泛的关注,但微观层面的经济主体如何响应"一带一路"倡议却还缺乏深入的研究。文章利用"一带一路"倡议所产生的准自然实验变化,以2013-2016年我国上市公司为研究样本,考察公司投资如何响应"一带一路"倡议,并使用古代"丝绸之路"途经省份作为工具变量来进一步缓解内生性问题。双重差分方法的检验结果表明,在"一带一路"倡议产生影响的重点省份,上市公司积极响应该倡议的实施,其投资水平提高了10.11%;而且,公司投资对"一带一路"倡议的积极响应主要来自于全要素生产率较低和成本加成较低的公司。文章从公司投资决策的角度为"一带一路"倡议的经济后果提供了微观证据,这对于我们理解经济政策的真实效应及其后续改革具有一定的启示。

- (1)基于公司层面的数据,Gao(2017)考察了制度差异对中国公司向“一带一路”国家直接投资的影响;Chen等(2017)使用2009-2014年的公司数据构建了“一带一路”沿线国家的融资需求指数。但是,这些研究主要考察“一带一路”倡议对其所涉及国家的影响,并没有考察中国本土企业对这一倡议的响应程度。
- (1)Duranton等(2014)以及Agrawal等(2017)分别使用1947年美国州际高速公路系统计划、19世纪末美国铁路网络和1528-1850年美国主要勘探路线等历史线路作为城市交通基础设施发展水平的工具变量。
