| 摘要 | This paper studies the economic consequences of the West’s foray into China after the Opium War (1839-42), when Western colonial influence was introduced in dozens of so-called treaty ports. We show, first, that this had a positive influence, both by lowering the costs of capital and by increasing the pace of industrialization, compared to other Chinese regions, and it occurred both through the ports themselves as well as through Western consulates in their vicinity. Second, while strongest at the ports the effect was geographically dispersed over hundreds of kilometers and affected most of China. We identify independent channels of influence from the ports and extraterritorial legal systems in China that led to foreign market access gains, security spillovers, as well as technological learning. |
