企业间接出口方式选择的影响因素研究——基于中国微观企业的实证分析

Factors Influencing Enterprises' Indirect Export Mode Selection:An Empirical Study Based on Chinese Microscopic Enterprises

本文利用世界银行就投资环境对中国企业所做的问卷调查(BEEPS)数据,使用连续logit模型从实证角度探讨了中国企业的出口方式选择,从而为利用贸易中介间接出口的企业识别提供了来自微观视角的坚实证据。结论表明:生产率、企业规模、人力资本、外资资本比重以及产品质量对企业间接出口方式的影响显著;间接出口方式选择的主要影响因素因所有制不同而存在差异,生产率、企业规模、人力资本、外资资本比重以及产品质量是民营企业间接出口方式选择的决定因素;而国有企业间接出口方式仅受企业规模的显著影响。

Using BEEPS questionnaire data of the World Bank regarding the investment environment for Chinese enterprises and applying the continuous Logit model, this paper empirically studies the export mode selection of Chinese enter- prises in an effort to provide solid evidence from the micro perspective to the identification of firms which take advantage of trade intermediaries for indirect ex- port. The basic findings suggest that the impact of productivity, firm size, human capital, proportion of foreign capital as well as product quality have a significant effect on indirect export trade. Furthermore, it is found that the main influencing factors of indirect export modes vary due to different ownerships of firms, and la- bor productivity, firm size, human capital, proportion of foreign capital and prod- uct quality are all determinants of indirect export modes of private exporting firms; while the indirect export mode of SOEs is only significantly subject to en- terprise scale.
