  摘要:In this study we examine the eects of trade liberalization on domestic mergers and acquisitions (M&As) in China. In particular, we focus on domestic backward vertical integrations in which a domestic upstream rm (target) is acquired by a domestic downstream rm. Our analysis takes China’s accession to the WTO (2001) as a quasi-natural experiment for trade liberalization. We nd that a decrease in taris on the target industry’s outputs reduces vertical integrations, but a decrease in taris on the target industry’s inputs increases vertical integrations. The result is obtained using the dierence-in-dierences technique and is robust to various specications of the model and measurement. We build a hold-up model with an upstream supplier and a downstream buyer to provide insights to the empirical nding that the existence of underinvestment is the key to understanding the eects of tari reductions on rms’ organizational choices.
