This paper examines whether credit constraints affect Chinese firms' absorption of productivity spillovers from foreign firms. Using firm-level data for 2001-2005, we find evidence of positive spillovers originating from FDI from countries other than Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan for non-state...

Despite both being developing countries, China and India have markedly contrasting patterns in their use and targeting of antidumping (AD) measures. We explore the factors driving AD use by these two countries, considering in turn macroeconomic, strategic and other determinants. We find more...

This study compares alternative measures of the potential and actual pollution content of China’s trade using an environmental I-O methodology. Using the conventional, potential measure adopted by other researchers, we find that China ‘saves’ on local environmental resources by exporting...

This paper explores whether there is sufficient lumpiness or heterogeneity in the relative endowments (capital, labour and skills) of the regions of China to affect China’s specialization and trade patterns. It does so using both the lens condition to identify the violation of factor price...

This paper provides firm-level evidence on the way in which credit constraints affect FDI spillovers. Using a panel of approximately 20,000 Chinese manufacturing firms over the period 2001-2005, we show that credit constrained domestic firms have lower (even negative) FDI spillovers, with their...

Using a panel of 20,460 Chinese manufacturing firms over the period 2001-2005, we apply both parametric and non-parametric estimation techniques to examine the underlying relationship between the economic development of the host province and FDI spillovers. We find that provincial economic...
