Export as endogenous (and therefore not included) variable in the data for China is
supported by the following estimated equation:

FEXPPC = .02674 + .006470*FDFIPC + .8852FEXPPC(-1) + .1579SEZ
(.88)      (5.47)            (24.72)              (3.13)

R2 = .9165 Adj.R2 = .9154 Obs. = 232

Where

FEXPPC - fixed price export per capita
