贸易便利化对加工农产品出口质量的影响——以中国和“一带一路”沿线国家(地区)出口为例

The Impact of Trade Facilitation on Export Quality of Processed Agricultural Products——An Empirical Evidence of China and Countries(Regions)along “the Belt and Road” Route

出口技术复杂度提高是产品出口质量升级的一种体现,贸易便利化对于促进出口质量可能有显著影响,然而现有文献对中国加工农产品出口质量关注不够。本文基于2008—2019年中国和“一带一路”沿线国家(地区)出口加工农产品数据,分析贸易便利化对加工农产品出口质量的影响。实证结果显示:贸易便利化显著促进了加工农产品出口质量的提升,并且主要通过港口效率提升、监管环境改变等渠道提升加工农产品出口质量。异质性分析结果显示:对于不同地理位置、经济基础国家(地区)和不同产品来说,贸易便利化对加工农产品出口质量均产生显著影响,但影响大小存在一定差异。本文在一定程度上丰富了关于贸易便利化与加工农产品出口质量的研究,并具有一定的政策含义。

The increase in export technology sophistication means the upgrading of the quality of exports, and trade facilitation has a significant impact on export quality.However, the present literature has not paid enough attention to export quality of processed agricultural products.Based on the 2008-2019 export data of processed agricultural products from China and countries(regions) along the “Belt and Road”, this paper analyzes the impact of trade facilitation on export quality of processed agricultural products.The empirical results show that trade facilitation significantly promoted the export technological complexity of processed agricultural products, and mainly through port efficiency improvement, regulatory environment change.Heterogeneity analysis results show that for different geographical locations, economic base countries(regions) and different product types, trade facilitation has a significant impact on the export technological complexity of processed agricultural products, but the impact size is different.To a certain extent, this paper enriches the research on trade facilitation and export quality of processing agricultural products, and has certain policy implications.
