广东省国际贸易成本优势的实证分析

An Empirical Analysis of the Cost Advantages of International Trade in Guangdong Province

在当今全球经济一体化与世界贸易快速发展的浪潮中,全面衡量一国(地区)贸易成本的大小,不仅可以揭示其融入世界经济的程度,更对一国(地区)贸易政策的制定有现实意义。以在中国出口贸易中占重要地位的广东省为例进行计量分析,发现其最主要的出口贸易成本优势仍为劳动力成本优势,其次为环境成本优势,但不具有制度优势。此外,东西两翼没有技术成本优势,山区地市没有交易成本优势。

In the wave of global economic integration and rapid development of world trade today,measuring the costs of a country（region） not only can reveal the extent of its integration into the world economy but also has real significance to its stipulation of trade policies.This paper uses the panel data of Guangdong Province from 2003 to 2009 to find that export trade cost advantage of Guangdong Province is still labor cost advantage,followed by environment cost advantage,but without institutional advantage.Moreover the eastern and western cities of Guangdong Province haven＇t technology cost advantage,mountainous area cities haven＇t transaction cost advantage.
