Abstract

This paper investigates the causal effect of banking deregulation on export product quality using two large and detailed datasets, the China Industrial Enterprise Database and the China Customs Database. We find that a 10% increase in banking deregulation is associated with a 0.78% increase in export quality. The result is robust even after replacing the estimation method, changing variable measurement, and addressing endogeneity problems. The effect is more pronounced for firms that depend on external finance, have higher productivity and capital intensity, engage in general trading, and face higher marketization and competition. Banking deregulation enhances export product quality through channels that ease financial constraints, improving resource allocation efficiency and reducing risk exposure. This paper provides a better understanding of how economic market reform is conducing to upgrading export product quality and fostering export upgrading and global competitiveness.
