Digital Trade Facilitation and Container Traffic
Is There a Bright Side to the China Syndrome? Rising Export Opportunities and Life Satisfaction in China
Export growth affects individuals through numerous and contradictory channels. In China, the development of exports has promoted economic development and income growth, but it has also disrupted social structures and work environments. This paper explores the overall effect of exports on perceived well-being by combining responses from a large longitudinal survey covering over 45,000 Chinese with a shift-share measure of local export opportunitie…
Sold to China
This article analyzes the effects of the acquisition of the Port of Piraeus by the Chinese shipping operator COSCO in July 2016 on the organization of container traffic in Europe. Using real‐time container ship positions provided by vessel tracking systems between 2015 and 2019, we study the impact of the privatization of the Greek port on its attractiveness and on that of competing ports for the ships of the various operators, and more particula…

Estimating the repercussions from China's export value‐added tax rebate policy
Our study shows that China's export value‐added tax (VAT) rebate system is a major industrial policy that affects its exports. We use export data at the HS6 product level for a panel of 329 Chinese cities over the 2003–2012 period to assess how changes in the export VAT tax have affected China's export performance. We consider different trade margins in terms of volumes, prices, and the number of countries served. To counter endogeneity, we explo…

Quality screening and trade intermediaries
We examine the quality‐screening role played by intermediaries in international trade, exploiting export data at the product level for Chinese exporters. We uncover substantial heterogeneity among intermediaries, and distinguish two types: generalized and specialized intermediaries. We find strong evidence of a quality‐verification role for specialized intermediaries: they are more prevalent in products with greater quality dispersion among local…

China's Emergence and Its Implications for Europe's Economies
This paper assesses how the competition between China and the EU in export markets has affected the trade performance of European countries. It first draws on a comparison between Germany and France before turning to discuss the economic and social impact of China's internationalization on Europe's economies. The results suggest that even in the recent years when China has gained prominence, it should not be blamed for more than half of the measu…
Exchange Rate Volatility, Financial Constraints, and Trade
In this paper, we study how firm-level export performance is affected by Real Exchange Rate (RER) volatility and investigate whether this effect depends on existing financial constraints. Our empirical analysis relies on export data for more than 100,000 Chinese exporters over the 2000–6 period. We confirm a trade-deterring effect of RER volatility. We find that firms' decision to begin exporting and the exported value decrease for destinations w…
Product Relatedness and Firm Exports in China
This paper proposes the first evaluation using micro-level data of the gains from the consistency of activities with a local comparative advantage. Using firm-level data from Chinese customs over the 2000-6 period, the study investigates the relationship between the export performance of firms and how their products relate to local comparative advantage. The key indicator measures the density of the links between a product and the local product s…
Chinese Firms' Entry to Export Markets
In this paper, the effect of proximity to multinational exporters on the creation of new export linkages (the extensive margin of trade) is debated. Using panel data from Chinese customs for 1997-2007, the capacity for Chinese domestic firms to begin exporting new varieties to new markets is shown to respond positively to the export activity of neighboring foreign firms. These spillovers are shown to be product and country specific. This conclusi…
Cluster Policies and Firm Selection
We shed light on the selection of beneficiaries from the French competitiveness cluster policy, launched in 2005 and extended to 2012. We disentangle the selection and self‐selection effects, as emphasized in the theoretical literature on regional and industrial policy. Our main conclusion is that winners were (self‐)selected at both steps of the procedure, and that this holds for the three cluster types: “worldwide,” “potentially worldwide,” and…

Complexité économique et croissance
Dans cet article, nous étudions l’effet de la complexité économique sur la croissance du revenu par tête des villes chinoises. Nous construisons une mesure de la complexité économique pour chaque ville en suivant la méthode des réflexions d’Hidalgo et Hausmann [2009]. Notre indicateur reflète la diversité et l’ubiquité de connaissances présentes dans la localité. Nos estimateurs portent sur un panel de 221 villes entre 1997 et 2009 et indiquent q…

Market Access and Individual Wages
We consider the effect of geography on wages using individual data from 56 Chinese cities. We present a simple new economic geography model that links wages to individual characteristics and market access. The latter is calculated as a transport cost weighted sum of surrounding locations' market capacity. After controlling for individual skills and local factor endowments, we find that a significant fraction of the interindividual differences in …

Income Per Capita Inequality in China
(1241) Laura Hering and Sandra Poncet This paper contributes to the analysis of growing income inequality in China. We apply a structural model of economic geography to data on per capita income over 190 Chinese cities between 1995 and 2002, and evaluate the extent to which market proximity and spatial dependence can explain the growing income inequality between Chinese cities. The econometric specification explicitly incorporates spatial depende…

La dynamique migratoire des ruraux vers les villes
La mobilit inter-rgionale des travailleurs est un lment cl dans le processus de transition de la Chine vers une conomie de march 1 . La transformation et la modernisation de l'conomie dans le cadre d'une ouverture internationale rapide reposent sur la rallocation intersectorielle des ressources, ainsi que sur la gestion des invitables chocs sur la production et la demande. La mobilit des travailleurs est un lment d'autant plus important que les m…
La fragmentation du marché intérieur chinois
Cet article analyse le degré d’intégration du marché intérieur chinois. Il retrace tout d’abord les étapes du développement des pratiques protectionnistes régionales depuis la fin des années 1980 et décrit la situation actuelle et les efforts des autorités centrales pour y mettre un terme. Il présente également les principaux facteurs structurels explicatifs du protectionnisme local. Enfin, ce travail étudie l'intégration économique des provinces…
La dynamique des migrations intérieures en Chine
Cet article étudie la dynamique migratoire des travailleurs ruraux vers les villes en Chine. Nous estimons un modèle multirégional dérivé de la nouvelle économie géographique qui repose sur une mobilité des travailleurs motivées par des revenus supérieurs. Nous mesurons les entraves à la migration des travailleurs ruraux-urbains à l’intérieur de la Chine et notamment les surcoûts liés au passage des frontières. Nous vérifions que les forces d’agg…

A Fragmented China
This paper studies the degree of integration of China's domestic market and investigates the determinants of inter-provincial trade barriers under the rubric endogenous trade policy theory. I rely on industry-level trade flows extracted from provincial input–output tables to develop a model that analyzes the magnitude and evolution of Chinese provinces’ engagement in domestic trade by computing all-inclusive indicators of trade barriers. Results …

Impact des barrières aux échanges sur la croissance économique
Cet article évalue l’impact des entraves au commerce sur la croissance économique à partir de données sur les provinces chinoises. L’approche se décompose en deux étapes. Tout d’abord, nous mesurons les entraves aux échanges régionaux grâce à la méthode développée par Parsley et Wei [2001] qui est basée sur les prix. Les coûts de transport induits par le passage des frontières provinciales sont considérés élevés quand la dispersion des prix entre…
Accès au marché et salaires individuels en Chine
Nous analysons l’effet de la géographie, en particulier de l’accès au marché, sur les salaires en utilisant des données individuelles chinoises couvrant 56 villes de 11 provinces. En employant un modèle de la Nouvelle Économie géographique, nous trouvons, sur la base de données couvrant 6 000 travailleurs chinois et après contrôle des qualifications individuelles et des dotations factorielles, qu’une partie significative des différences individue…

Financial constraints in China
Using a unique micro-level data set over the period 1998-2005 on Chinese firms, this paper presents empirical findings on the presence of credit constraints. Our findings are threefold. Firstly, private Chinese firms are credit constrained while state-owned firms and foreign-owned firms in China are not; Secondly, the geographical and sectoral presence of foreign capital alleviates credit constraints faced by private Chinese firms. Thirdly, geogr…
Économies d’agglomération à l’exportation et difficulté d’accès aux marchés
La littérature empirique du commerce international souligne l'existence d'économies d'agglomération à l'exportation. Elle met en évidence l'impact positif de la présence d'autres exportateurs au niveau local sur la probabilité qu'une firme commence à exporter vers un pays donné. Nous explorons ce résultat en étudiant la nature de ces effets en fonction de caractéristiques hétérogènes des firmes exportatrices et de variables mesurant la difficulté…
