Abstract
This article finds that the overall effect of the foreign direct investment (FDI) and thereby the China–U.S. bilateral investment treaties (BIT) on Chinese manufacturing sector is positive, which raises the productivity and profitability of the firms, using various econometric models and other evidence. The manufacturing sector as a whole has already opened up to the world economy and needs to continue this process.
This paper is joint with Fan Zhang, Professor at National School of Development of Peking University, and published in China Economic Journal, 2016.
