We propose a beyond-border-type measure, “trade in factor income,” that defines the US-owned factor-income induced by China’s final demand as the US export to China. Based on this measure, we find that the conventional cross-border trade statistics averagely leads to 17.4-32.0% overestimation of the US-China trade deficit (2005-2016). Our new measure helps a great transformation of trade measures from the territory-based “made in” label to income-based “created by” label.}, title = {Trade in factor income and the US-China trade balance}, year = {2021} }
