Open Door Policy and China's Rapid Growth: Evidence from City-level Data

Abstract

There is clear evidence that during 1980-90 more exports are positively associated with higher growth rates across Chinese cities.In comparison, in the late 1980s, the conthbution to growth comes mainly from foreign investment The contribution of foreign investment comes in the form of technological and managerial spillover across firms as opposed to an infusion of flew capital.Finally, there is nothing magical about the high growth rates of Chinese coastal areas other than their effective utilization of foreign investment and exports.
