Abstract

The relationship between export and economic growth is one of the key problems in international trade research. The economists focus on how export impacts economic growth recently. Many developed and developing countries’ firms and plants have been most extensively studied. However, Chinese firms or plants have not been studied yet. Based on a panel data, we utilize the basic model and improved model to make an overall analysis on the efficiency of China’s machinery manufacturing industry. We find that self-selection effect is positive and statistically significant, while learning-by-exporting effect is not significant and the productivity advantage enjoyed by China is static and no productivity growth advantage is found.
