Abstract

With economic globalization, the behavior of a domestic enterprise is significantly affected by foreign economic policy. This paper investigates the relationship between the US monetary policy and the R&D investment of Chinese enterprises from 2015 to 2018. Ultimately, we find that the Federal Reserve's interest rate hike has a positive and significant impact on R&D investment by Chinese enterprises, particularly for the small-scaled and low-innovative enterprises. Furthermore, other innovation proxies, including the intensification of new products and patents, are also driven by Federal Reserve's interest rate hike.
