  讲座摘要:The link between international migration and trade has long been an issue of concern. This paper studies the effects of emigration on exporting in Wenzhou, one major origin of Chinese migration to Europe. China has a unique system of non-governmental organizations called Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese (henceforth FROC). We use village-level FROC data to measure the overseas relations. It is found that firms in regions with larger emigration export less. We hypothesize that emigration changes the comparative advantages of these firms. Compared with other domestic firms, Wenzhou enterprises have comparative advantages in high-quality branded products, but they are not superior to European competitors, which forces them to lower their export intensity. Our hypothesis is supported by empirical evidence that these firms have more capital input and spend more on advertising, which may be regarded as a strategy of high quality and branding.
