description Special economic zones (SEZs) help provide the momentum for China’s economic growth. This paper studies the influence of SEZs on enterprise’s export structures from the perspective of production complexity using data from the China Industry Business Performance Database (CIBPD) collected between 2000 and 2007. We found that enterprises in SEZs have a higher export propensity and volume due to more complexity. Also, enterprises with more complexity outside SEZs show a higher export propensity and volume depending on the number of SEZs near them and the radiation effect of the SEZs. Similarly, high and new-tech industrial development zones perform more prominently in this regard
