Do not neglect establishment trade: the China-US example

Karl P. Sauvant

No 260, Columbia FDI Perspectives from Columbia University, Columbia Center on Sustainable Investment (CCSI)

Abstract: This Perspective suggests that, to assess the competitiveness of a country's firms, one needs not only to look at exports, but also the sales of their foreign affiliates ("establishment trade"). It exemplifies this for the China-US trade relationship. Taking such a holistic approach leads to a different picture, with a clear policy implication.
