制造业服务化、技术创新与企业出口产品质量

Manufacturing Servitization, Technological Innovation and Quality of Export Products

现阶段我国正从制造大国向制造强国转型,出口产品质量是影响企业国际贸易竞争优势的核心因素,研究如何提升我国出口产品质量具有重要意义。本文基于制造业服务化视角,阐释了其通过技术创新影响企业出口产品质量的非线性机制;进一步采用中国工业企业数据库、中国海关贸易数据库和WIOD数据库的匹配数据,实证考察制造业服务化对于企业出口产品质量的影响。研究表明:制造业服务化对企业出口产品质量具有显著的正"U型"影响效应,技术创新发挥了重要的中介渠道作用;但该影响效应因企业贸易方式、所有制类型、要素密集度和融资约束程度的不同而具有异质性。

Nowadays,China is transforming from a big manufacturing country to a powerful manufacturing country.The quality of export products is a central factor to measure the competitive advantage of international trade,and it is of great significance to study to improve the quality of China’s export products.Based on the perspective of manufacturing servitization,this paper explains its nonlinear mechanism which influencing the quality of export products through technological innovation.Furthermore,this paper uses the matched data from China Industry Business Performance Data,China Customs Trade database and World Input-Output Database(WIOD)to investigate the impact of manufacturing servitization on the quality of export products of enterprises.Empirical research shows that manufacturing servitization has a significant positive“U-shaped”effect on the quality of export products of enterprises.Technological innovation plays an important role in the intermediary channel.However,the impact varies by trade patterns,ownership,financing constraints and factor density.
