How does a country's productivity growth a¤ect worldwide real incomes through international trade? In this paper, we … take this classic question to the data by measuring the spillover e¤ects of China's productivity growth. Our framework … the spillover e¤ects of China's productivity growth are small causing the real incomes of China's trading partners to …

The effects of geography and productivity on the global pattern of production are captured here in a specific factors … gravity model. Simple enough for sharp results, the model is yet rich enough to contain the high dimensional productivity … productivity frictions inferred from gravity. Sellers' and buyers' incidence both reduce real income. Sellers' incidence shocks …
