The analysis uses Chinese firm census data for the manufacturing and service sectors, along with constrained optimization techniques. The conventional input-output table is split into sub-accounts, which are used to estimate direct and indirect domestic value added in exports of different types of firms. The analysis finds that in China, state-owned enterprises and small and medium domestic private enterprises have much higher shares of indirect exports and ratios of value-added exports to gross exports compared with foreign-invested and large domestic private firms. Based on input-output tables for 2007 and 2010, the paper finds increasing value-added export ratios for all firm types, particularly for state-owned enterprises. It also finds that state-owned enterprises are consistently more upstream while small and medium domestic private enterprises are consistently more downstream within industries. These findings suggest that state-owned enterprises still play an important role in shaping China's exports.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOAFFILIATED ORGANIZATIONSAGGREGATE EXPORTSBALANCE SHEET INFORMATIONBILATERAL TRADECOMPANYCONSUMERSCURRENT ACCOUNTCURRENT ACCOUNT SURPLUSCUSTOMSCUSTOMS ADMINISTRATIONDEMAND FOR GOODSDEVELOPED COUNTRIESDEVELOPMENT ECONOMICSDEVELOPMENT POLICIESDEVELOPMENT POLICYDIRECT VALUEDOMESTIC DEMANDDOMESTIC INPUTSDOMESTIC PRODUCTIONEMPLOYMENTEXPORT COSTSEXPORT GROWTHEXPORT INTENSITYEXPORT PATTERNSEXPORT RATIOEXPORT RATIOSEXPORT REVENUEEXPORT SHAREEXPORT SHARESEXPORT VALUEEXPORTERSEXPORTSFINAL GOODSFINANCIAL CRISESFINANCIAL CRISISFINANCIAL SECTORFIRM SIZEFIRM SIZESFIXED ASSETSFIXED CAPITALFIXED COSTSFOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTFOREIGN SOURCESFOREIGN SUPPLIERSFUTURE RESEARCHGDPGLOBALIZATIONGROSS EXPORTSGROSS OUTPUTIMPACT OF TRADEIMPACT OF TRADE LIBERALIZATIONIMPORT DATAINDUSTRY TRADEINPUT-OUTPUT TABLESINPUTS BY FIRMSINTERMEDIATE GOODSINTERMEDIATE IMPORTSINTERMEDIATE INPUTSINTERNATIONAL ECONOMICSINTERNATIONAL PRODUCTIONINTERNATIONAL TRADEINTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSIONINVENTORYMEDIUM ENTERPRISEMULTINATIONALSOPTIMIZATIONOWNERSHIP STRUCTUREPARTYPOLITICAL ECONOMYPRIMARY FACTORSPRIVATE ENTERPRISESPRODUCTION FUNCTIONSPRODUCTIVITY GROWTHPROFITABILITYSMALL FIRMSSMESUPPLIERTOTAL OUTPUTTRADE FLOWSTRADE LIBERALIZATIONTRADE PATTERNSVALUE ADDEDVALUE OF IMPORTSVERTICAL SPECIALIZATIONWAGE INEQUALITYWORLD TRADE10.1596/1813-9450-6960
