本文考察了资本进口和中间产品进口对企业生产率增长的不同影响，并量化了关税结构在发展中国家贸易自由化中的重要性。本文以中国制造业企业为样本，实证分析了资本进口对生产率的影响，结果表明资本进口对生产率的影响要大于中间产品进口。一方面，虽然两种类型的进口都对生产率产生了直接影响，但只有资本进口才具有动态生产率效应。另一方面，我们发现资本进口对R& D资本协同效应和R& D诱导效应有显著影响，但中间产品进口对R & D资本协同效应和R& D诱导效应的影响并不明显。关于中国加入WTO后投入品关税自由化的效果，关税结构的变化解释了18%的生产率提高。
This paper investigates the distinct effects of capital and intermediates imports on firms' productivity growth, and quantifies the importance of tariff structure in trade liberalization in developing countries. Using a large panel of Chinese manufacturing firms, we demonstrate that capital import has a substantially larger productivity effect than intermediates import. On the one hand, while both types of imports exert immediate effects on productivity, only capital import has dynamic productivity effects. On the other hand, we identify significant R&D-capital synergy effect and R&D-inducing effect from capital import, but there is no clear evidence of these effects from intermediates import. Regarding the effects of China's input tariff liberalization following its WTO accession, the change in tariff structure explains 18 percent of the productivity gains.
