Abstract: The paper examines the effect of trade credit on export using matched firm accounting and disaggregated export datasets. The paper shows that trade credit has a positive effect on the export value of Chinese firms. The effect is larger for firms with a higher demand for short-term financing such as working capital, and thus smaller for the export shipped by air and larger for exporters with imports. The enhancing effect of trade credit is not weakened by the financial development of the destination country. The paper finds that trade credit is used for the financing of working capital rather than the extension of trade finance to their foreign customers. The results provide evidence on the role of alternative financing channels for China’s high economic growth.
