Our results suggest that Chinese firms with higher productivity are more likely to export regardless of ownership, and that this relationship increased after WTO accession. Levinsohn, J A and A Petrin (2003), "Estimating production functions using inputs to control for unobservable", Review of Economic Studies, 70(2), 317–340. (2003). The projected effects reported in other ex ante studies are close to the simulated effects with the WTO Global Trade Model, except for the distribution of losses across regions. In 2010, for example, total trade by developing countries expanded by around 17 percent (compared to 13 percent for developed countries). Today South-South trade comprises more than 20 percent of global trade, and this figure is rising rapidly. WTO meant a new set of relatively transparent rules for doing business in and with China. The asymmetric effect of China’s WTO membership on export decision between private domestic firms and SOEs can be interpreted as the result of policy changes in order to remove favourable treatments only given to SOEs for their export promotion and unfavourable conditions given to private firms for their exports before the WTO accession. Hence the huge rush to move manufacturing there. 0000006516 00000 n Moreover, the strategic dimensions of … After controlling for the debt-asset ratio, government subsidy, and time-varying and region-specific factors, we estimate how the effects of productivity and ownership on firms’ export decision changed after the WTO accession, by setting the WTO dummy as zero before 2001 and one after 2002, and FIEs as a default for dummies of PDFs and SOEs. This then meant that there was a lack of cultural diffusion which was occurring (“Himalayan Mountains Documentary…”).
