Title of Keynote Speech: Productivity growth, State ownership and the Role of Government: Evidence from World Bank Enterprise Survey Abstract: Does mixed ownership help labor productivity growth in China? This question is investigated using quantile regression on the most recent data from the World Bank Enterprise Survey for China. An inverted U-shaped relationship between state shareholding and labor productivity growth is found. Existing literature on the relationship between state shareholding and firm performance in China is inconclusive as studies show convex, concave, positive linear, and negative linear relationships. This has important policy implications, especially since China is once again on the verge of major SOE reforms. Using both unlisted and listed company data, our paper looks at the effects of government ownership many years after partial privatization and gives a picture of the enduring impacts of ownership reform. As such, this is a major contribution to the existing literature and has real policy implications. |
