| Summary/Abstract |
Since China's transition to a market economy, the labour productivity growth has been dramatically rapid, in particular since 1994. This speeding up has been accompanied by the reverse of the exchange rate policy of China, which has strongly depreciated its currency before 1994, and then either appreciated or stabilized it. The theoretical arguments suggesting several kinds of real exchange rate impact on labour productivity are developed. An econometric model is then proposed and estimated, using panel data for the twenty-nine Chinese provinces and for the period from 1986 to 2007. The econometric results show that the appreciation of the real exchange rate had a favourable effect on the labour productivity growth, leading to a kind of virtuous circle: the real appreciation of the currency boosts the growth of labour productivity while, according to the Balassa-Samuelson effect, productivity growth tends to push up the real appreciation. Moreover, this favourable effect is stronger in inland provinces than in coastal provinces, contributing to a minimizing of the gap between inland and coastal provinces.

| Summary/Abstract |
The impacts of the real exchange rate on employment and its channels are investigated. A real appreciation, (1) by switching factors from workers to imported inputs (technological channel), (2) by decreasing exports (export volume channel), (3) by exerting pressure on efficiency improvement (efficiency channel), exerts an effect on employment. Using the panel data of the 29 Chinese provinces for the period 1993-2002, the econometric results show statistically significant negative effects of the real appreciation of the renminbi on manufacturing employment. The three channels are statistically significant, the technological channel being the most important

| Summary/Abstract |
A bilateral export demand function is used to estimate the effects on the Chinese bilateral exports of three real exchange rates: (1) bilateral real exchange rate capturing the price-competitiveness of the Chinese products in the market of the considered import country (traditional effect); (2) real effective exchange rate capturing the price-competitiveness of the goods of Chinese competitors in the same market (third-export-country effect); (3) real effective exchange rate capturing the price-competitiveness of the Chinese products in China's other export markets (third-import-country effect). This function is applied for the Chinese bilateral real exports towards 11 industrialized countries over the period from 1991 to 2004. The econometric results confirm the effects of the three real exchange rates, as well as the effects of the demand from developed countries.
