技术壁垒对出口产品质量的影响——基于木家具出口复杂度的实证研究

Effects of Technical Barrier on the Quality of Export Products:An Empirical Study Based on the Export Sophistication of Wooden Furniture

近年来,学者们对国际贸易从"量"的研究逐步转变为向"质"的研究。在诸多影响出口产品质量的因素中,技术性贸易壁垒对于出口产品质量有着显著的影响。通过使用出口复杂度指标测算出口木家具的质量,并通过实证模型检验,认为技术性贸易壁垒不同于以往对高新技术产品出口质量产生的正面影响,在短期内会抑制诸如木家具等初级产品出口质量的提升,从而限制这类产品国际贸易的开展。为积极应对不公平贸易壁垒,木家具企业应提高出口产品质量、增强出口产品国际竞争力;政府应当对企业给予政策上的支持和财政上的补贴,主动维护企业的利益,为企业提供更有利的贸易条件;协会也应当发挥其应有的作用,对家具企业在出口时可能面临的壁垒进行系统培训等。

In recent years, international trade research has been changed from ＂quantity of export＂ to ＂quality of export＂. Among all the relevant factors, the technical barriers cause significant impacts on the quality of export. Differing from its positive influence over the transaction of high-tech products, technical barriers, in this study by measuring export sophistication and empirical verification, are believed to refrain the quatity improvement of primary product （ as exemplified by wooden furniture） for exportation, impeding the international trade growth of them. To cope with the unfair trade barriers, industry is supposed to enhance the export quality through various perspectives and consequently their overall competitiveness in international market; government should maintain the benefits of enterprises and provide more convenient trade environment by policy privilege and financial compensation; and relevant associations should train enterprises to deal with the potential barriers in the future.
