Kiel Institute 2013AbstractThe growth of Chinese exports in market share over the past two dec-ades is a singular event in the history of world trade. Using d
2、ata from 19952010,we document this growth in a variety of ways. We show that the expanded trade ispervasive. Virtually every country in the world has seen China claim a larger shareof its import market. Then, we use Constant Market Share analysis to determinewhich country or countries have lost mark

Per capita real GDP rose by 250 % over this period.1One of the leadingfactors driving this economic growth has been the extraordinary performance ofChinese exports. According to the World Trade Organization
7、(WTO), in 2010 Chinaranked first in exports to the world market with merchandise export sales of morethan $1.5 trillion and a world market share of 10.4 %. In 1998, China had less than2 % of the world market. Twenty years earlier, Chinas share was essentially zero.As Chinas share of world exports ha
8、s grown, it has come under increasing pressureto allow its currency to appreciate; often the criticism of its exchange rate practicesincludes charges that other developing and emerging market economies have bornethe brunt in terms of lost export markets.2The purpose of this paper is to provide an an
9、alysis of Chinese export growth overthe period when its share of world exports rose most rapidly, the years 19952010.We provide detail on the commodity composition of Chinese exports and how thiscomposition has changed. We also discuss some aspects of the geographic patternand commodity composition
10、of Chinese trade. In addition, a fundamentalcontribution of this paper is that we provide considerable evidence that theprincipal exporting countries that have lost market share to China are developedcountries, especially Japan and the United States.We use Constant Market Share (CMS) analysis (i.e.,
11、 Fagerberg and Sollie 1987)to determine which of five factors (i.e., market share, commodity composition,commodity adaptation, market composition, and market adaptation) are responsiblefor the rise of Chinese share. During the period we consider, the market share effectis the critical factor to expl
12、ain the share change in the world trade. This element oftrade growth captures the extent to which an exporter gains or loses market shareagainst other exporters independent of changes in the product and destinationpattern of world imports. In particular, almost all share gains of China over theperio
13、d 19952010 (i.e., the market share effect accounts for 11.6 of 12.9 percentagepoints (pp.) of Chinese share gains) stem from the market share effects.3We also apply CMS analysis to the sub-periods of 19952000, 20002005, and20052010.Intheperiodof19952000,thesharegainofChinawasrelativelymoderate(2.9 p
