发达国家技术性贸易壁垒对中国茶叶出口的影响分析

Impacts of technical barriers from developed countries on Chinese tea export

基于1995—2012年中国对英法德日美等国茶叶出口数据,使用修正的引力模型,对技术性贸易壁垒对中国茶叶出口的影响进行了研究。结果发现:发达国家技术性贸易壁垒对中国茶叶出口发挥了显著的负向影响并存在地区差异,而中国自身设置的质量安全及检测等标准不构成技术性贸易壁垒;中国茶叶在发达国家经济体的消费市场随着发达程度的提升而表现下降趋势,中国茶叶进入发达经济体的技术性贸易壁垒呈现不断增强态势,由此也导致中国茶叶出口结构向发展中国家和地区转移。

In order to find out the effect of technical barriers to trade on Chinese tea export, we use modified gravity model to conduct the empirical research with the data of Chinese tea export to Britain, France, Germany, Japan and United States from 1995 to 2012. The results showed that technical barriers to trade from developed countries or developed economies had significantly negative impact on Chinese tea export, which has some regional differences; while Chinese own set of standards, such as quality security standards and test standards, didn＇t constitute a technical barriers to trade.Chinese tea consumption market was declining with the level of developed economies growing, technical barriers to trade of developed economies presented increasing trend, so Chinese tea export transfered to developing countries and regions.
