数字产品进口与中国企业出口质量

Digital Product Import and Export Quality of Chinese Enterprises

文章利用2000-2013年中国工业企业数据库和海关数据库的合并数据,实证检验了数字产品进口对中国企业出口质量的影响。研究发现:数字产品进口显著提升了企业出口质量,且该作用效果在高端制造业、生产率水平较高的企业、数字资本品进口和核心产品出口中更为显著;机制检验发现,数字产品进口主要通过提高企业人力资本水平和创新水平两种渠道提升出口质量;调节效应发现,在数字产品进口影响出口质量的过程中,企业管理能力的调节效应不明显。因此,政府应创造良好的数字贸易环境,降低数字贸易壁垒,使企业能充分利用数字产品进口助力外贸高质量发展。

Based on the combined data of China′s industrial enterprise database and customs database from 2000 to 2013, this paper empirically tests the impact of digital product import on the export quality of Chinese enterprises. The research finds that the import of digital products significantly improves the export quality of enterprises, and the effect is more obvious in high-end manufacturing industries, enterprises with high productivity level, digital capital goods import and core products export. The mechanism test shows that the import of digital products mainly improves the export quality through improving the human capital level and innovation level of enterprises. In the process of digital product import affecting export quality, the regulation effect of enterprise management ability is not obvious. Therefore, the government should create a good digital trade environment, reduce digital trade barriers, and enable enterprises to make full use of digital product imports to promote the high-quality export.
