Title: The Births of New Private-owned Enterprises in an Environment of State-owned Enterprises ( with Liang Zheng)

Abstract: This paper examines the impact of the incumbent state-owned enterprises (SOEs) on the births of new private-owned enterprises (POEs) in China. We apply agglomeration theories to distinguish the linkages between SOEs and POEs. Using 2008 economic census, 2007 Input-Output Table and 2005 population census, we measure the formation of the new POEs at city-industry level, agglomeration forces of distance proximity to inputs, outputs, and labor, i.e. we measure the extent to which local SOEs provide relevant inputs, consume outputs, employ similar workers, require similar inputs and produce similar outputs. Our findings indicate that overall the incumbent SOEs hinder the formations of new POEs. For manufacturing, the entry of new POEs is significantly lower in  places where more downstream SOEs and more SOEs that employ similar workers are concentrated. For services, the entry of new POEs is significantly lower in  places where more upstream and downstream SOEs are concentrated. However, the agglomeration effects from the incumbent POEs are either insignificant or significantly positive.
