Abstract: This paper studies the trade promotion effects of state visits paid by Chinese political leaders by analyzing China’s trade flow with 184 countries between 1998 and 2014. International events are used to instrument state visits. The results find that trade promotion effects come two years after the visits. Moreover, the promotion effects are biased towards the industries and firms with connections to the government. Trade barriers offset the promotion effects of state visits.
