Abstract

We study Chinese firms’ stock market reactions of US–China trade war. Using stock market returns of listed firms and corresponding firm-level export information from China Customs database, we find a negative effect of trade war that firms with higher proportion of prior export to US show more negative market reactions. This effect is strongest among firms with non-state ownership. Further evidences show that the negative impact largely comes from firms exposed directly to tariff increase.
