美国经济间谍法---“红色恐慌”还是法治？|The U.S. Economic Espionage Act: Red Scare or Rule of Law?

这项NBER研究通过分析1996至2021年的案件发现，美国司法部在执行《**经济间谍法**》时对**华裔**存在**种族偏见**。华裔被告虽面临更多指控，但**无罪开释率**更高，且被定罪后受到的**处罚更重**。股市对涉及华裔被告的案件反应较冷淡，反映出市场对其指控可靠性的怀疑。|This NBER study, through an analysis of cases from 1996 to 2021, finds that the U.S. Department of Justice exhibits racial bias against ethnic Chinese in enforcing the Economic Espionage Act (EEA). While ethnic Chinese defendants face more charges, they have a higher acquittal rate and harsher punishments upon conviction. The stock market has a muted reaction to cases involving ethnic Chinese defendants, reflecting market skepticism about the credibility of such charges.
