Abstract: This paper mainly examines the economic effects of regional integration from the perspective of firm survival. According to the results, although firms benefit from market segmentation in the inauguration period, the protection diminishes afterwards and eventually becomes a hazard to the firm survival. This paper also takes one step further in finding that market segmentation may distort the resource allocation by protecting low-productivity and low-profitability firms from exiting the market.
