We analyze the impact of China's growth on the exports of other Asian countries. Our innovation is to distinguish the … increase in China's demand for imports from its increased penetration of export markets. Using the gravity model, we … disaggregate among commodity types and account for the endogeneity of Chinese exports. We confirm the tendency for China's exports …

This study quantifies the impact of traditional and new age' provisions of preferential trading arrangements (PTAs) on merchandise trade and investment. It does so by estimating gravity models of bilateral trade and investment. It finds that recent and some past PTAs are not as benign as some...
