Abstract

From the creation of the Shanghai Free Trade Zone from September 2013 to September 2020, China has set up six batches of 21 free trade zones in batches. The establishment of free trade zones may often lead to regional economic development and also have a certain impact on the production efficiency of enterprises. This paper studies how and whether the establishment of a free trade zone virtually affects the productivity of enterprises. This paper uses the latest data of 2012–2019 from Shanghai, and Shenzhen A-share listed companies; and adopts multi-period difference in difference method to explore the impact of the establishment of a free trade zone on corporate productivity. Moreover, our research takes the establishment of a free trade zone in the city whether enterprises are located during the simple period as a turning point. Studies have shown that the establishment of a free trade zone can promote the productivity of enterprises obviously, but it has heterogeneity. Besides, the test of impact mechanism shows that the establishment of a free trade zone promotes enterprises to increase R&D investment and obtain more government subsidies, thereby increasing enterprise productivity. This research provides a factual basis for the effectiveness of free trade zone policies and the realization of high-quality and high-efficient development of enterprises.
