China shock 2.0: How China’s ongoing export surge differs from the early 2000s
Abstract: China's accession to the World Trade Organization in 2001 marked the beginning of one of the most consequential episodes in the history of global trade. The subsequent surge in Chinese exports–often referred to as the "China Shock"–has been widely associated with large adjustments in production patterns, labor markets, and trade balances across the global economy (Autor et al. 2016; Pierce and Schott 2016).
