Abstract

This chapter delves deeper into the controversial trade-growth debate – controversial because empirical evidence has provided a wide variety of findings, although one of the stylized facts of global growth is that economies which have opened-up for trade have grown very strongly. The focus is China, the regional and international trade-giant, with an objective of analyzing the impact of trade on economic growth. The motivation of this chapter is due to a number of reasons. First, as stated above, while theoretical economists broadly converge to the agreement that trade has positive growth effects (with various conditionalities), empirical findings have been conflicting. Second, these conditions and other important issues surrounding trade openness are important and must be adequacy explored. Third, the Chinese (or Asian economies) data provides the best grounds of experimenting on both trade and growth, especially in the era when they dominate both world trade and growth rates. And finally, this chapter is an application of the extension developed by Rao and Singh (2007) for estimating the impact of trade openness on economic growth of China.
