报告摘要：

China’s movie industry is growing rapidly and it is set to be the world’s largest. There are some restrictions on foreign films imposed by the Chinese government, including investment restrictions, import quota system, censorship and delayed releases etc. Few studies have evaluated the welfare impacts of these trade protectionism policies. We use weekly box office data and other movie characteristics data to estimate a demand model of customers making choice of watching movies. Based on our estimated demand model, we do counterfactual simulations to discuss how the consumer welfare would change when 10 more foreign films are imported, when there is no delay of releases of foreign films.
