Abstract
China is one of the main consumers of forest products, its trade with developed countries having expanded after it joined the WTO and abolished tariffs. The structure of China’s trade imports and exports for forest products has also changed greatly with rapid economic growth. This study focused on China’s forest products trade with Japan and the aspects such as what sort of mechanism and pattern of trade progresses in making an analysis related to international trade. Analyzing these trade patterns using the international input-output table between China and Japan, this study results show that for forest products the interindustry and intra-industry trade are making progress. I use a gravity model and a general regression model to analyze and identify the factors that contribute to trade expansion and influence the structure of the forest products.
