Abstract:We develop a text-based measure on Chinese listed firms’ exposure to the trade war using earning conference transcripts. Not only does our measure effectively capture firm level trade war exposure, proven by the fact that around March 2018, firms with higher our exposure measure experienced larger declines in market values, it also has a unique advantage to measure the impact on the domestic market firms that do not directly participate in international trade but are indirectly affected through the supply chain. We then use this new measure to study the impact of the U.S.-China trade war on Chinese firms. We find firms with higher trade war exposure expands after the trade war. This surprising positive effect comes solely from the domestic market firms. Mechanism analysis shows that supply chain adjustment drives the size expansion of domestic market firms: After the trade war, export-oriented firms turn to domestic suppliers for input purchasing, leading to their scale expansion.
