丝绸之路经济带背景下互联网对中国与中亚五国双边贸易流量的影响研究

The Influence of Internet on the Trade Flows between China and Central Asia Countries

中亚五国是丝绸之路经济带建设的核心区域,研究中国与中亚五国间双边贸易流量的影响因素对推进"丝绸之路经济带"建设有重要的理论价值和现实意义。文章在前人研究的基础上,探索性地引入互联网这个新生变量,通过构建贸易引力模型对中国与中亚五国间贸易流量的影响因素进行了研究,结果表明互联网对双边贸易流量有正向的促进作用,并在此基础上提出了对策建议,以期为促进中国与中亚五国间双边贸易的良好发展提供参考意义。

As Central Asian countries are in the core area of the Silk Road Economic Zone, the research on the impact of factors on trade flows between China and Central Asian countries is important theoretically and practically in promoting the development of the Silk Road Economic Belt. On the basis of previous studies, this paper introduced Internet as a new variable, for the first time. This factor was analyzed by constructing a trade gravity model. The results showed that Internet has a positive role in promoting the bilateral trade flows. Suggestions are also made in this paper in order to promote the development of bilateral trade between Chinese and the five countries in Central Asia.
