The present paper examines how the reduction in the price scissors impacted economic development during the early stage of C hina's reform period (i.e. 1981–1998). It is found that an increase in agriculture's terms of trade had a significant complementary effect with exportation on China's economic growth. Moreover, our data supports the results of S ah and S tiglitz (1987), who suggest that a reduction in the price scissors is associated with a decrease in physical capital accumulation in an open economy.
