Summary:An attempt is made to identify some of the major sources of and obstacles to export success in China's provinces and enterprises. An assessment is made as to which enterprise, trade, foreign exchange regime and capital market reform policies have been most important in explaining enterprises' export performance. The impact of export performance on enterprises' productivity growth is also examined as one measure of the benefits of export orientation. In addition, the domestic resource cost ratios of exporting enterprises in different provinces with varying ownership structures are compared as a measure of the financial benefit to China from enterprises' export activities.
