| Summary / Abstract (Note) | This paper examines industrial policy in China over the period of the 9th - 12th Five-Year Plans (FYPs). Based on China's national and provincial FYPs and data disaggregated to the four-digit manufacturing sector level, it finds that the central government's preferences act as a key determinant of the provincial FYPs. It also shows that policy significantly improves output while it is in effect but there is no evidence of a beneficial effect beyond the end of the particular FYP. The results are consistently robust across a number of tests. |
