摘要
This paper studies the size distribution of exporting and non-exporting firms in a panel of Chinese provinces. The power law exponents of exporting firms are significantly less than those of non-exporting firms. The average power law exponents fell from 0.74 in 1998 to 0.64 in 2007 for exporting firms, and from 1.03 in 1998 to 0.83 in 2007 for non-exporting firms. Further analysis showed that credit constraints have a significant negative effect on the exponents of the size distribution of exporting firms, suggesting that smaller firms are more credit-constrained than larger firms. Resumen Este articulo estudia la distribucion de tamanos de las empresas exportadoras y no exportadoras en una seleccion de provincias chinas. Los exponentes de la ley potencial de las empresas exportadoras son significativamente menores que los de las empresas no exportadoras. Los exponentes promedio de la ley potencial se redujeron desde 0,74 en 1998 hasta 0,64 en 2007 para las empresas exportadoras, y desde 1,03 en 1998 hasta 0,83 en 2007 para las empresas no exportadoras. Un analisis mas detallado mostro que las restricciones de credito tienen un efecto negativo significativo en los exponentes de la distribucion del tamano de las empresas exportadoras, lo que sugiere que las empresas mas pequenas se ven mas limitadas en cuanto al credito que las grandes empresas.
