The Relative Sophistication of Chinese Exports

No 12173, NBER Working Papers from National Bureau of Economic Research, Inc

Abstract: This paper examines the relative "sophistication" of China's exports to the United States along two dimensions. First, I compare China's export bundle to those of the relatively skill- and capital-abundant members of the OECD as well as to similarly endowed U.S. trading partners. Second, I examine prices within product categories to determine if China's varieties command a premium relative to its level of development.
