ABSTRACT
This article investigated export bias related to its long-run equilibrium. By using the autoregressive distributed lag method, a dynamic econometric model was built to isolate export bias from its equilibrium. Using China’s dataset for 1982–2018, we found that export size deviated from its equilibrium level, and export bias accounted for a share of −22% to 35% of the equilibrium. Moreover, the results also confirmed that export size was cointegrated with the main explanatory variables, and export bias tended to fade in the long-run.
