Using 2004-2009 firm-level micro data for enterprises in China s ethnic areas, we investigate whether trade credit really works as an alternative external financing source.We find statistical evidence that trade credit is positively correlated with enterprise productivity; the result continues to hold when taking into account the intermediate role of working capital turnover ratio.Moreover, our results confirm the positive impact of bank financing on enterprise productivity.All these findings are particularly tenable for Han enterprises.
