内容摘要：

This paper estimates the causal effect of international direct flights on cities’ international trade, usingChinese customs transaction-level trade data and flight route data from 2000 to 2015 anda staggered differences-in-differences approach.On average a Chinese city’s exports to a destination country (imports from a source country) increase by 11.2% (8.6%) after a direct flight route is launched between the city and the country. This positive effect is stronger for the industries with higher face-to-face communication intensity and higher contract intensity, suggesting that international direct flights reduce cost of international trips and promote face-to-face interactions among international business people.
