数字经济对降低国际贸易壁垒的效用分析

An Analysis of the Effectiveness of Digital Economy in Reducing International Trade Barriers

数字经济时代,信息传输的便捷性带来了贸易成本的下降,使得传统贸易模式发生了前所未有的巨大变革。传统的国际贸易由于受地理距离、经济距离、文化距离等因素的影响导致商品的跨国交易受到限制,而在数字经济时代,信息技术的广泛使用削弱了传统国际贸易壁垒,极大地提高了国际贸易的效率,主要体现在可贸易品种类增加、“面对面”交易成本下降、国际贸易机制改善以及国际贸易参与门槛降低等方面。然而数字贸易的兴起会导致国际间新的数字壁垒的形成,面对这一现象,我国需要采取提升数字经济战略地位、完善与数字贸易相关的法律法规、加强国际谈判等措施积极应对。

In the era of digital economy,the convenience of information transmission has brought about a drop in trade costs,which has caused unprecedented changes in traditional trade modes.The cross-border transactions of commodities in traditional international trade were restricted by geographical distance,economic distance,cultur⁃al distance,etc.,while in the era of digital economy,the widespread use of information technology has weakened tra⁃ditional international trade barriers and greatly improved the efficiency of international trade,which is mainly re⁃flected in the increase in tradable varieties,the reduction in“face-to-face”transaction costs,the improvement of international trade mechanisms,and the lower barriers to participation in international trade.However,the rise of digital trade will lead to the formation of new international digital barriers.In the face of this phenomenon,our coun⁃try needs to take active countermeasures such as heightening the strategic position of the digital economy,improv⁃ing laws and regulations on digital trade,and strengthening international negotiations.
