Abstract

Leveraging the unique matched land transaction and firm survey data, we empirically examine if firm ownership will affect the access to land factor for Chinese manufacturers. The state-owned firms display no advantage in paying less when acquiring land, while it is more costly for foreign-owned firms. Consistent with this finding, we find land acquisitions for foreign-owned firms are more likely to take place via the nonmarket-based transaction in the early stage of China’s land market reform with the goal of eliminating corruption. The research suggests that potential land miss-allocation (if any) could be resulted from ‘tax’ to the foreign firm rather than ‘subsidy’ to state-owned firms.
