Abstract

Market integration in China has attracted substantial public attention, but little is known about the role that the financial sector plays in this process. This article is the first to empirically examine the effect of financial sector development on spatial market integration in China. Moreover, it explores the differential impacts of financial sector development across regions. Surprisingly, our results show that the development of the financial sector undermines spatial market integration in China due to local protectionism and strategic behavior. Further, the effects of various factors on market integration differ between economically developed and undeveloped areas.
