Abstract	This paper employed matched data for the first time to estimate firms’ exchange rate elasticity of export and analyze how total factor productivity (TFP) affect firms’ exchange rate elasticity of export. Using highly disaggregated matched data from Chinese transaction-level trade data and firm-level production data from 2000 to 2006, we construct firm-level real effective exchange rate (REER) and TFP. We find that when the firms’ TFP is at the mean level, the exchange rate elasticity of export is -0.093. Furthermore, when the TFP increases one standard deviation, the exchange rate elasticity of export is -0.062. The results indicate that the high-performance firms are less sensitive to react to an appreciation of exchange rate. When we divided the firms into five groups by firm’s productivity percentiles, or when we use labor productivity to replace the TFP, the results remain robust.
