Does Group Affiliation Improve Firm Performance? The Case of Chinese State-Owned FirmsHuanjun Yuaffiliation not provided to SSRN Hans Van EesUniversity of Groningen Robert LensinkUniversity of Groningen - Department of Economics, Econometrics and Finance; Wageningen UR - Development Economics Group Abstract: This paper examines, for a sample of 657 state-owned Chinese firms in 2005, whether group affiliation improves performance. By using a simple OLS regression, as well as propensity score matching, treatment effects and two-step instrumental variable methods, we find a robust positive effect of group affiliation, which suggests that state-owned firms in China may benefit from joining a business group.
