The results show that the rising labor cost has both positive and negative effects on the growth of China’s export to Japan, also has different effects on different kinds of products. Specifically, there are significant positive effects on the extensive margin of animal and plant products and textile products, the price margin of chemical products and the quantity margin of textile products.
