Description

Qiong Zhao and six co-authors build a long run of trade tables linking China's regions, in a 2024 data paper. The tables show what each region buys from and sells to the others, sector by sector. Past tables covered short spans only, which hid slow shifts in the economy. The new set runs from 1987 to 2017 and folds in each province's carbon output for the same years.

Customs records fixed the first guesses for cross-border flows. A balancing method then forced rows and columns to agree, and a gravity model split trade flows by sector. The finished tables support studies of how regions lean on each other and who bears the carbon cost of trade. The authors release the set as a base for policy and climate work on China's inner ties.
