Abstract:

This paper seeks to extend the literature on the state and technological change by examining Chinese efforts to promote the development of the domestic integrated circuit (IC) design industry. I review recent achievements of this industry and examine three government initiatives (Panda project, project 908 and 909) that aimed to stimulate its development. As part of these initiatives, the state invested into capital and/or R&D intensive nodes of the IC value chain in the hope that these investments will lower the entry barriers into the IC design for private firms. I argue that while these projects are widely considered examples of unsuccessful industrial policy, they have produced a number of positive outcomes for the development of the infant IC design industry. An alternative explanation which stresses the influx of capital and talent from the Greater China and the Chinese Diaspora misses the important complementarities between this influx and the role that the state played and continues to play in stimulating the development of the IC design industry. I conclude by reviewing Chinese government’s continuing efforts to promote the development of domestic high-tech industries through a policy of standard setting.
