报告摘要:
This paper assesses the welfare effects of foreign direct investment for host country consumers in the Chinese passenger-vehicle market. We find that foreign-invested enterprises directly improved consumer welfare through expanding the choice set, especially in the high-end market, or avoiding the import tariff. Indirectly, foreign-branded cars produced in joint ventures also benefited indigenous brands produced in the auto groups by enhancing their perceived quality and reducing the marginal costs, thereby bringing about welfare gains for car buyers.
