Abstract

This study examines the impact of trade liberalization on the consumption welfare of urban households in China. The results indicate that trade liberalization in consumer goods has improved the consumption welfare of Chinese urban households with a “pro-poor” distribution across regions and households in a region, suggesting that the consumption effects are more pronounced for less developed regions and low-income households in a region. Within a city, differences in the consumption effects arise from variations in household consumption structures and the tariff-price pass-through among different types of products. Across cities, differences in the consumption effects stem from the dual heterogeneity in industrial structure and consumer demand. The variety effect resulting from changes in the types of imported consumer goods also enhances the consumption effects of trade liberalization.

贸易自由化的扶贫消费效应:来自中国的证据
本研究探讨了贸易自由化对中国城市家庭消费福利的影响。研究结果表明,消费品贸易自由化改善了中国城市家庭的消费福利,并在不同地区和地区内家庭间呈现 "扶贫 "分布,这表明消费效应对欠发达地区和地区内低收入家庭更为明显。在城市内部,消费效应的差异来自于家庭消费结构的不同以及不同类型产品之间的关税-价格传递。在不同城市之间,消费效应的差异源于产业结构和消费需求的双重异质性。进口消费品种类的变化所产生的多样性效应也增强了贸易自由化的消费效应。
