內容摘要：In this paper, we generate an equilibrium model for firm’s innovation and examine the causal effect of corruption on firm’s innovation behavior. Using a difference-in-difference approach, we find that the anti-corruption campaign can increase firm’s innovation in the forms of granted patents, and this is robust to various robustness checks. We also explore the mechanism through which the corruption impacts on firm’s innovations.
