新结构经济学Workshop
时间：2017年3月3日下午15:30-17:00
地点：朗润园万众楼小教室
主持人：王勇、王歆、徐佳君
主讲人：Jiandong JU (Shanghai University of Finance and Economics)Topic: Structural Adjustments and International Trade: Theory and Evidence from China
Abstract:
We document the patterns of structural adjustments in Chinese manufacturing production and export: production became more capital intensive while export did not; firms' export participation increased in the labor intensive industries but declined in the capital intensive industries from 1999 to 2007. To explain these seemingly puzzling patterns, we embed heterogeneous firm (Melitz 2003) into the Dornbusch-Fischer-Samuelson model of both Ricardian and Heckscher-Ohlin (1977, 1980). We structurally estimate the model and find that capital deepening more than doubled the capital labor ratio of China, technology improved significantly but favored the labor intensive industries and trade liberalization reduced variable trade costs by about a quarter. Counterfactual simulations show that capital deepening made Chinese production capital intensive, but technology change that bias towards the labor intensive industries provided a counterbalancing force. We also find that the Melitzian export selection mechanism shapes Ricardian comparative advantage extensively and contributes to about 2.1% of productivity growth during this period.
