Abstract:

China’s exportperformance is marked by large regional disparities which affect trade patternsat the national level. This paper uses data from input-output tables toestimate the comparative advantage of Chinese provinces in the three main economicsectors over the period 1992-2007. In contrast to existing studies, we include theservices sector in the analysis and construct not only indices of revealedcomparative advantage for overall trade, but also bilateral indices forinterprovincial trade. The results indicate that West and Central China have acomparative advantage in agriculture/mining, coastal provinces inmanufacturing, and metropolitan provinces in services. However, interprovincialtrade exhibits a more complex pattern. Regression analysis identifies laborendowments as the key determinant of comparative advantage in total trade,while physical capital is the driving force in domestic trade. Human capitaland government spending have a positive effect, whereas industrial loans and taxes,along with provincial trade barriers, impair comparative advantage.

摘要：

中国的出口表现带有极大的地区差异，这影响到国家层面上的贸易模式。本文使用投入产出表格数据估测1992-2007年间中国各省份在三大主要经济部门的比较优势情况。与现行研究不同，我们的分析中涵括了服务业，不仅创建了总体贸易的显性比较优势指数，而且创建了省际贸易的双边指数。结果表明，中国中西部省份、沿海省份、直辖市分别在农业/矿业、制造业、服务业拥有比较优势。然而，省际贸易模式更显复杂。回归分析结果表明，劳动力禀赋是总体贸易中比较优势的关键决定因素，有形资本则是国内贸易的驱动力。人力资本和ZF支出对比较优势有积极影响，行业贷款和税赋以及省份间的贸易壁垒则会削弱比较优势。
