Rising Import Demand in China: Cui Bono and Why?
Rolf J. Langhammer
Abstract: The paper measures income elasticities of demand for
manufacturing imports in China since 1990 disaggregated by major trading
partners such as the US, Japan, Germany and rest of the EU. German
exporters seem to have benefited from the hightest demand elasticities. The
paper proposes explanatory factors such as a high degree of integration in
international production chains and higher presence of foreign direct
investment in China compared to partner countries responsible for the
German success.
