ABSTRACT

The objective of this study is twofold: first, to develop amethodological framework for the estimation of the increases in domestic value-added (or equivalently, GDP) and employment in a country in response to increases in its exports, in the aggregate as well as disaggregated by commodity and by destination; and second, to apply this empirical methodology to the estimation of the increases in Chinese domestic value-added, and employment, as a consequence of increases of Chinese exports to the United States.
