摘要：

The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is an important strategy for China. This study examines the effect of political involvement on firms' outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) in belt-road countries after the BRI. Using merged Chinese nonfinancial listed firm data, the fDi Markets database, and the Thomson One database (formerly known as SDC Platinum) for the period 2008-2018, we find that political involvement has positive effect on firms' OFDI in belt-road countries after the BRI. Furthermore, we find that the positive effect is heterogeneous across state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and non-SOEs. Political involvement has a positive effect on M&A for SOEs and Greenfield investment for non-SOEs in belt-road countries after the BRI. Our findings suggest that political involvement promotes firms' OFDI in belt-road countries after the BRI and is helpful to the macro-policy implementation.
