The Anatomy of China's Export Growth
Decomposing China's real export growth, of over 500 percent since 1992, reveals a number of interesting findings. First, China's export structure changed dramatically, with growing export shares in electronics and machinery and a decline...

Decomposing China's real export
growth, of over 500 percent since 1992, reveals a number of
interesting findings. First, China's export structure
changed dramatically, with growing export shares in
electronics and machinery and a decline in agriculture and
apparel. Second, despite the shift into these more
sophisticated products, the skill content of China's
manufacturing exports remained unchanged, once processing
trade is excluded. Third, export growth was accompanied by
increasing specialization and was mainly accounted for by
high export growth of existing products (the intensive
margin) rather than in new varieties (the extensive margin).
Fourth, consistent with an increased world supply of
existing varieties, China's export prices to the United
States fell by an average of 1.5 percent per year between
1997 and 2005, while export prices of these products from
the rest of the world to the United States increased by 0.4
percent annually over the same period. |
