Overview: This paper uses regional panel data to investigate the mechanism of how FDI has contributed to China's regional development through quantifying regional marketization level. It is found that FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) inflow generates a demonstration effect in identifying regional market conditions for investment in fixed assets and hence affects industrial location. In addition, its effects on regional export and regional income growth varied across east, central and west China since the second half of the 1990s, depending on FDI-orientation in different regions. In east China, geographical advantage in export attracts FDI inflow and FDI promotes export. In addition, rise of FDI-GDP (Gross Domestic Product) ratio increases regional share in industrial value added in east China.
