Abstract As the space carrier of open industrial policy, bonded zones (BZs) and the export processing zones (EPZs) play an important role in leading industrial structure upgrading. This paper uses DID method to empirically test the impact of BZs and EPZs on industrial structure upgrading by using the provincial panel data from 2000 to 2016. The study finds that BZs and EPZs promote industrial structure rationalization, but inhibit industrial structure advancement; The regional and dynamic differences in the effects of BZs and EPZs on industrial structure upgrading are significant; BZs promote industrial structure rationalization by inhibiting the development of processing trade; EPZs inhibit industrial structure rationalization by promoting the development of processing trade; BZs and EPZs promote industrial structure upgrading by improving FDI quality.
