摘要
Stock market liberalization is an important way for China to integrate into the world economy. This paper uses the Shanghai & Shenzhen-Hong Kong stock connect as a quasi-experiment to examine the impact of the stock market liberalization on Chinese firms' productivity. Empirical results show that the stock market liberalization of China has significantly increased the firms' productivity, and the effect is more pronounced in firms with lower information transparency, worse corporate governance and in the region with poorer legal environment. Further analysis show that improving the output but not input efficiency is the important channel, through which stock market liberalization positively affects firms' productivity. In all, this paper provides a reliable empirical basis for China further opening the financial market. © 2021, Editorial Board of Journal of Systems Engineering Society of China. All right reserved.
