Abstract

Different regional reactions to war in 1894 and 1900 can significantly impact Chinese imports in 2001. As international relationship gets tense and China rises, international conflicts could decrease trade.We analyze impact of historic political conflict. We measure regional change of number of people passing imperial exam because of war. War leads to an unsuccessful reform and shocks elites. Elites in different regions have different ideas about modernization, and the change of number of people passing exam is quite different in different regions after war. Regional number of people passing exam increases 1% after war, imports from then empires decrease 2.050% in 2001, and this shows impact of cultural barrier. Manufactured goods can be impacted because brands can be identified easily. Risk aversion of expensive products in conservative regions can increase imports of equipment. Value chains need deep trust, and this decreases imports of foreign company and assembly trade.
