Abstract By setting up dynamic panel models and adopting the data of Chinese industries from 1995 to 2009, this paper tries to explore the differences of influence that different types of trade have on the technological progress of industries. The result shows that the impact of trade on China’s technological progress is not entirely consistent, and there are differences among trade categories as well as among industries. For the technological advancement in the manufacturing industry, three types of trade, namely intermediate product exports, intermediate imports for export and intermediate imports for domestic production, have promoting effects and the positive effect of intermediate imports for export trade is the highest, whereas final consumer goods exports and import trade have deterring effect. For the service sector, three types of trade, namely final consumer goods exports, imports and imports of intermediates for export all have promoting effects and imports of intermediates for export trade has the highest positive effect while intermediate product exports and intermediate goods import trade for domestic production trade have deterring effect.
