Notes: This table summarizes the distribution of China import shocks gnt across industries n and periods t in the Autor et al. (2013) application. Shocks are measured as the total flow of imports from China in eight developed economics outside of the United States. All statistics are weighted by the average industry exposure shares snt; shares are measured from lagged manufacturing employment, as described in Section 6.2.1. Column 1 includes the non-manufacturing industry aggregate in each period with a shock of 0, while columns 2 and 3 restrict the sample to manufacturing industries. Column 3 residualizes manufacturing shocks on period indicators. We report the effective sample size (the inverse renormalized Herfindahl index of the snt weights, as described in Section 6.2.2) with and without the non-manufacturing industry, at the industry-by-period level and at the level of SIC3 groups (aggregated across periods), along with the largest snt.
