• Resumen

  • This Note examines the long-term impact of the Japanese War of Aggression against China on inbound tourists from Japan to Chinese regions. Difference-in-differences estimates reveal that the Chinese regions that suffered more civilian casualty rate due to the Japanese invasion of China during 1937–1945 received fewer inbound tourists from Japan. The bilateral relation, cultural exchanges, and educational programs are confirmed to be essential mechanism variables.
