Abstract

Firm productivity and trade liberalization is an important research topic in international trade and economic development. Growing empirical research using firm-level microdata has found evidence that trade liberalization from both input goods and final good fosters firm productivity. Amiti and Konings (2007) used Indonesian firm-level data to find that firms' gains from reduction of output tariffs. Similarly, Topalova and Khandelwal (2011) found close evidence for Indian firms. Using a Chinese firm-level dataset, Yu (2015) found that the impact of input tarif reductions on productivity improvement, overall, is weaker than that of output tariff reductions are found to contribute at least 14.5% to economy-wide productivity growth of China.
