ABSTRACT
With the development of economic globalization, the connection of economy and
trade all over the world has become intensive. It is the co-movement of economic
fluctuation that is the most significant demonstration. Transmission channel through
international trade, international investment and finance from the advanced economy
exert a great importance on the co-movement among the countries besides of common
external shocks. This paper focuses on the research of co-movement between China and
America and the role of transmission mechanism of trade between the two countries
concerned.
In Chapter One, this author gives a brief introduction of background or
significance and divides the reference into four parts including co-movement of
economies, economic cycles, transmission mechanism of trade and the relation between
the international trade and economic growth. After that, this paper gives a clear
explanation of the framework, research method and objectives of this essay.
In Chapter Two, this paper summarizes the mode of action and way of transmission
mechanism of trade, its influencing factor and related concept.
In Chapter Three, this paper discusses the co-movement of Sino-US economics and
indentifies the cycle of China’s export to America via the method of HP filter and
Person correlation and co-integration test. There are two main conclusions. First of all,
GDP of Sino-US displays co-movement from 1979 to 2010 since the Person correlation
of their constant GDP is 0.24. Secondly, this paper explains Kitchin Cycle according to
the growth rate of China’s export to America directly, and we use HP filter to research
the Juglar Cycle, then we have a deep research on its trend of long period with co-
integration test. The study shows that China’s export to America has gone through 8
Kitchin Cycle, and 3 Juglar Cycle, most importantly, it presents the same features
between China’s export to America and GDP of America.
In Chapter Four, this paper builds two VAR models, and then uses impulse
response and variance decomposition to do a quantitative analysis on how the
America’s economic fluctuation influences China’s economic fluctuation through
international trade. We find that, China’s import from America is the most important
factor, and China’s export to America takes the second place, then the last one is
bilateral trade intensity. What’s more, this paper explains the rationality of the
conclusion above from the aspect of marketing geography of international trade in
China, terms of trade, commodity composition and pricing power of China.
In Chapter Five, this paper summarizes the main conclusion of this essay and
proposes some policy suggestion for the sake of moderate development of China’s
economy.
The innovation of this paper includes three points as follows: first of all, this paper
summarizes nine influencing factors on transmission mechanism of trade, secondly, this
paper indentifies and analyzes the cycle of China’s export to America, thirdly, this paper
explains the rationality of the conclusion of econometrics from the aspect of marketing
