　　英文摘要：The present study examines the impact of value゛dded exports on the skill premium in a large developing country. We distinguish two margins of value゛dded trade: direct exporting measures the economic activities of de jure exporters, while indirect exporting reflects the induced demand for suppliers for exporters. We integrate China'1s internal and external production networks and draw empirical evidence from both population and economic censuses. Our findings show that aggregate value゛dded export intensity is associated with a higher skill premium, but it encompasses two contrasting effects: the direct exporting channel increases the skill premium, whereas the indirect channel decreases it. The latter channel has been neglected in existing published studies, which can lead to an overestimation of the positive relationship between exports and inequality in the South. We discuss the possible mechanisms and important implications.

　　中文摘要：本研究考察了价值dded出口对一个发展中大国的技能溢价的影响。我们区分两种价值边际dded贸易:直接出口衡量合法出口商的经济活动，而间接出口反映出口商对供应商的诱导需求。我们整合了中国1s内部和外部的生产网络，并从人口和经济两方面获取经验证据。我们的研究结果表明，总价值dded出口强度与较高的技能溢价有关，但它包含两种截然相反的效应:直接出口渠道增加了技能溢价，而间接渠道降低了技能溢价。后一种渠道在现有发表的研究中被忽视，这可能导致对南方出口和不平等之间的积极关系的过高估计。
