摘要：This paper investigates the role of judicial transparency in driving economic development using a transparency reform in China. Since mid-2013, China has required all courts to upload judicial documents, but there are significant disparities in compliance among regions. We find that industrial outputs, registry of new firms, and exports in provinces with greater improvements in judicial transparency also experience greater growth. This growth is mainly driven by output per worker rather than an inflow of workers. Exploring industry heterogeneity strengthens the identification. Industries with higher judicial dependence exhibit larger growth in output and exports after the improvement in judicial transparency.
