【摘要】Based on a comprehensive household panel data, we examine the impact of regional export expansion on rural households in China. For identification, we exploit the regional variation in the exposure to the reductions in tariff uncertainty caused by the Permanent Normal Trade Relations that the U.S. granted to China upon China’s WTO entry. We find the rapid expansion of non-agricultural exports substantially raised rural income, with stronger effects on lower income households. Such export-induced income growth is driven by higher labor force participation rate, wage increases in both agricultural sector and non-agricultural sector, and a reallocation of labor between these two sectors. Exports of non-agricultural goods also promoted agricultural development, such as higher agricultural TFP, more intensive use of agricultural capital, and the adoption of higher quality intermediate inputs.
