摘要：

Employing merged Chinese listed firm data, Chinese custom data, and the prefecture-level clan culture data, we find a clear pattern that chairpersons who originate from a prefecture-level city with a stronger clan culture lead firms to engage in less international trade. This finding is robust to a variety of checks including using the shortest distance from the chairperson's prefecture of origin to the nearest historical Neo-Confucian Academy and the number of southward-migrating clans during the Jianyan Reign (1127-1130) in the origin prefecture as instruments. The patterns in the data highlight the importance of cultural origin in shaping individuals' attitudes towards international trade.
