Using an enhanced data set on the population share of
overseas Chinese in 1970 and 1990, this paper analyses the impact of the
Chinese diaspora on facilitating China's bilateral trade during the period
1973–2013. Our findings suggest substantial trade creation effects resulting
from the presence of ethnic Chinese in the trade partner population. Diaspora
impacts on Chinese bilateral imports are in general higher than those found for
exports. Co-ethnic networks play a larger role as long as the partner country
does not have an RTA with China in place. Among export sectors, effects found
were strongest for food, as well as for machinery and transport equipment. In
regard to imports, co-ethnic networks matter mostly for raw materials,
machinery and transport equipment, and chemicals.
