摘要/Abstract:

Domestic capital market regulations and capital controls impose a cost on firms. From IPO locational choices, we estimate that the willingness to pay by the entrepreneurs of overseas listed Chinese firms to be equivalent to a haircut in firm value by 60% in order to bypass these distortions. Additional independent data confirm the plausibility of this estimate. With a structurally estimated model, we infer that the welfare gains for the entrepreneurs from the relevant market reforms could be 18%.
