This paper examines the success of the People's Republic of China's special economic zones (SEZs) at attracting high-productivity firms and whether this has led to higher wages for workers. The paper finds that the SEZ experiment effectively attracted foreign capital and high-productivity domestic firms. However, the results indicate modest real wage gains for workers, suggesting firms have captured majority of benefits of SEZs through higher profits.
