The present study investigates the relationship between FDI and the changes verified in China’s export structure towards high-tech sectors. It estimates a model of the determinants of Chinese exports performance, considering the different impacts of FDI on export structure classified according to its technological intensity, using time series variables, estimating a VAR model and the variance decomposition analysis. The main results suggested that FDI had different impacts among export sectors, which means that, FDI is more efficient in promoting exports from those sectors more technological-intensive. Besides that, other independent variables used in estimation seems to be as important as FDI, mainly the investment rate, which is consonant with China’s economic performance that presents an average growth rate of 10% per year for at least two decades.Downloads
