Abstract This paper examines the productivity effect of two categories core infrastructure investment in China, by matching a panel manufacturing firm‐level production data with province‐level data. Cross‐industry variation reliance using input–output table information is employed to address potential endogeneity issues. We find that firms an industry relies more heavily on experience higher growth from investment. On average, annual rate return China about 23% during 1998–2007.

In this paper, we examine how the minimum wage affects firm productivity growth with a representative Chinese manufacturing data. Instrumental variable estimation is employed to deal potential endogeneity problem between and growth. We find that 1% increase in wage, rate on average decreases by 0.299%. Overall, variations have highly heterogeneous effect across regions, time ownerships. To continuous firms will use more capital intermediate input replace labor.
