abstract = {Since its inception in the early 1980s, the success of China's enterprise reforms  remains hotly debated. This paper introduces a new element into the analysis of  state-owned enterprise performance by drawing on the recent increase in interregional  income disparities. It is argued that as a result of less favourable  structural conditions and stronger fiscal dependence on the central government,  reform implementation in the interior provinces has lagged behind the progress  made along the coast. This hypothesis is investigated using enterprise survey data  from three interior provinces which is compared to a similar survey carried out  earlier in four coastal cities. The evidence generally supports the view of larger  administrative restrictions in the interior and relatively poor economic  performance.},
