  AccessionHong Ma\, Associate Professor\, Department of Economics\, Tsingh
 ua University \n\nA surge\nof innovation often follows major episodes of t
 rade liberalization. This paper\nproposes a novel channel through which tr
 ade liberalization may encourage firm\ninnovations by largely removing pol
 icy uncertainties in the destination market.\nTo verify this linkage\, the
  authors adopt a difference-in-differences approach\nto examine the impact
  of a reduction in trade policy uncertainty\, due to\nChina's WTO accessio
 n in 2001\, on firm innovation activities. The authors find\nthat this unc
 ertainty reduction significantly encourages firms' patent\napplications\, 
 investment in capital assets and imports of intermediate inputs.\n\nHong\n
