Abstract: Using a database of Chinese firms, we examine the effects of technology spillovers not only between foreign entrants and local firms but also between modernized local firms to other local firms. Our results show that the increased presence of foreign multinationals within industries and in their upstream sectors positively affected the productivity of local firms. The positive intra-industry spillover effect from wholly owned subsidiaries becomes evident when the Chinese government's restriction on foreign ownership was lifted. We also find strong spillover effects among local firms.
