互联网对产品出口结构影响的国际考察

International Investigation of the Internet Influence on Product Export Structure

文章以HS6位码5000种产品层面的数据,对30个国家2000—2015年的出口相似度和出口产品单位价值进行了测算,并用测算的结果作为对出口结构的衡量,对互联网对出口结构的影响进行了计量分析。结果表明：互联网的普及可以比较显著地提高出口产品单位价值,且对低价值国家的拉动作用比对高价值国家大,互联网的普及可以较小幅度地提高出口相似度,互联网的应用有利于但不会自然而然地让世界经济增长趋同。

This paper uses the HS6 5000-type product level data to measure the export similarity and unit value of 30 coun- tries from 2000 to 2015, and uses the result to measure the export structure and quantitatively analyze the influence of the Internet on export structure. The empirical results show that the popularity of the Internet significantly improves the unit value of the exported products, and the pull function on the low-value countries is bigger than that on the high-value countries; the popularity of the Internet is able to modestly improve export similarity; the application of the Internet helps make the world economic growth converged, but not naturally.
