消费品进口竞争对本土企业市场表现的影响——基于中国消费品企业的实证研究

The Impact of Import Competition of Consumption Goods on Domestic Firms'Market Performance--Empirical Research Based on Chinese Consumption GoodsFirms

本文利用2000—2007年企业层面数据实证研究了消费品进口竞争对中国本土消费品生产企业市场表现的影响。研究结果表明:消费品进口竞争对中国本土消费品生产企业市场表现有显著正向影响。异质性分析显示:消费品进口竞争对高生产率企业市场销售有显著的提升作用,而对低生产率企业的影响并不显著;消费品进口竞争更倾向于提升东部地区企业的市场销售;来自于发展中经济体的消费品进口对中国本土消费品生产企业市场销售的影响为负但不显著,而来自于发达经济体的消费品进口可以显著提升中国本土消费品生产企业的市场销售。机制分析表明:消费品进口对本土企业市场表现存在熊彼特效应、逃避竞争效应以及需求引致效应。本研究对于推动消费品进口、企业创新和挖掘国内市场潜力具有政策参考意义。

This paper uses firm-level data from 2000 to 2007 to empirically investigate the impact of import competition of consumption goods on the market performance of Chinese domestic consumption goods firms.The results show that import competition of consumption goods has a significantly positive effect on the market performance of Chinese domestic consumption goods firms.Heterogeneity analysis indicates that import competition of consumption goods has a significant impact on the market sales of high-productivity firms,but not on those of low-productivity firms.Import competition of consumption goods tends to increase the market sales of firms in the eastern region.Furthermore,imports of consumption goods from developing economies have a negative but insignificant impact on the market sales of Chinese domestic consumption goods firms,while imports of consumption goods from developed economies significantly improve the market sales of Chinese domestic consumption goods firms.The mechanism analysis shows that imports of consumption goods affect the market performance of domestic firms through the Schumpeterian effect,competition escaping effect and demand inducing effect.This paper has policy implications for promoting imports of consumption goods,encouraging firm innovation,and tapping the potential of the domestic market.
