讲座主题： anticorruption, resource reallocation, and firm innovation
讲座内容简介：the relationship between corruption and innovation is still debated in the literature. we contribute to this conversation by examining the causal effect of an anti-corruption campaign on firm innovation and the channels through which this occurs. we adopt a difference-in-differences design to take advantage of an unanticipated anti-corruption campaign in china and a large-scale proprietary dataset. our empirical results show that anticorruption causally leads to an improvement in firms’ r&d investment. this evidence is robust to a battery of placebo tests and alternative checks. we identify resource reallocations as the underlying mechanisms through which anticorruption stimulates firm innovation. we find evidence that firms strategically respond to the campaign by reallocating resources from corruption to innovation. the anticorruption campaign reallocates public r&d resources and external financing from corrupt-prone firms toward more productive and innovative firms. our study contributes to understanding the causal link between corruption and innovation by overcoming the identification challenges and identifying the resource reallocation mechanisms.
