요약Chapter 1 examines how removing barriers in production outsourcing affects firms' innovation activities. I exploit a reform in China's pharmaceutical industry that permits the outsourcing of drug production. Using a triple-difference identification strategy, I find that drug innovators without production facilities engage in more drug development (clinical trials) after the policy. However, for those firms constrained by limited financial resources, the increase in drug development is accompanied by a reduction in drug research (patent applications), particularly in low-value patents. This shift occurs because outsourcing increases the marginal value of development more than that of research. Further analysis reveals that the increase in clinical trials is more evident in the development of incrementally innovative drugs, rather than entirely novel ones. These findings suggest that overall, production outsourcing positively contributes to innovation, though its effects are primarily observed in incremental improvements.Chapter 2 studies pre-sale financing in the context of China's real estate market. Pre-sale of properties is a common practice in the real estate sector worldwide and serves as an important source of financing. In this chapter, I document that China's real estate developers commonly rely on pre-sale funds as a major source of financing. The cost of pre-sale financing is lower than that of debt, so when the real estate market is booming, developers tend to use pre-sale funds to replace short-term debt. I compile all the city-level regulations related to housing pre-sales in China and study the impacts of pre-sale regulations on real estate developers' land investment. The findings indicate that restrictions on pre-sales significantly reduce land investment by developers with limited resources (e.g., private firms, small firms) compared to those with more resources (e.g., state-owned firms, large firms). Moreover, firms with concentrated operations (e.g., those limited to a single city or solely focused on the real estate sector) show a significantly larger reduction in land investment compared to firms with diversified operations (e.g., those operating across multiple regions or industries).Chapter 3 analyzes distressed firms in China, defined as persistently unprofitable and highly leveraged firms. Using firm-level data from 1998-2007, we find that 15% of firms in China are distressed firms. We document how distress and exit patterns vary by region, industry, ownership, and firm age. The proportion of distressed firms is significantly lower in developed regions than in underdeveloped regions, while exit rates show no systematic regional difference. Within the manufacturing sector, Heavy Industrial Processing industries exhibit the highest rates of both distress and exit, whereas High-Tech and Precision Manufacturing as well as Consumer Goods and Light Manufacturing industries show lower prevalence of distress. State-owned firms have the highest distress proportion and exit rate, while there are fewer distressed firms among private and foreign firms. Older firms are more likely to be distressed, but exit rates follow a non-linear pattern: the exit rate rises with age below 15 years and declines with age thereafter. These findings shed light on the structural features of corporate distress in China and provide a descriptive foundation for understanding the broader implications of inefficient firm exit.
