Abstract: Abstract Using highly disaggregated HS 8-digit product-category level data collected by the General Administration of Customs for 2000 and 2008, we comprehensively and systematically assess the People’s Republic of China’s (PRC) exports of two types of manufactured goods (parts and components and final goods) as well as of nonmanufactured goods by different types of firms (foreign firms, domestic private firms, and domestic public firms). Our empirical framework is based on the gravity model, which we find works well for all specifications, and our results are largely consistent with economic intuition. All three different types of firms in the PRC export more to larger countries and less to countries that are farther away, irrespective of the type of product. Replacing the value of exports with the goods-extensive margin (i.e., number of goods) and goods-intensive margin (i.e., value of exports per good), the results again are largely consistent with economic intuition.
