Title: Exposure to Chinese imports andlocal labor market outcomes. An Analysis for Spanish provinces
Abstract: In the period 1999-2007 Spanish imports from China multiplied by six, making that Asian country the fourth largest supplier 
	to the Spanish economy. In this paper, we analyse whether this massive increase in imports impacted on the labour markets of 
	Spanish provinces to differing degrees, due to differences in their initial productive specialization. Our results show that 
	Spanish provinces with a higher exposure to Chinese imports experienced larger drops in manufacturing employment as a share 
	of the working-age population. However, this reduction was compensated for by increases in non-manufacturing employment.
