Using a balanced panel of manufacturing firms from China between 2007 and 2013, we estimate that being connected to high-speed rail (HSR) system leads 9.5% reduction in local firms' input inventory spending. The effect is stronger for downstream industries private enterprises. A back-of-envelope calculation suggests each dollar HSR investment reduces stock by 12 cents, which significantly larger than the effects found previous studies based on highway or road investment. Declines...

How do de-globalization events affect corporate innovation decisions? By exploiting tariff variations during the U.S.–China trade war as a quasi-natural experiment, we find that escalation of U.S. tariffs is associated with relative increase in expenditure on research and development by listed Chinese manufacturing companies. Through novel approach infers degree competitive pressure from textual analyses company annual reports, identify an induced competition mechanism provide evidence...
