Comprehensive Pilot Zone for Cross-border E-commerce and the Improvement Regional Total Factor Productivity

跨境电商综合试验区作为跨境电商改革的一项重要举措,对于促进经济高质量发展具有重要作用。基于2005—2020年280个地级及以上城市面板数据,探究跨境电商综合试验区对地区全要素生产率的影响。研究发现,跨境电商综合试验区有助于推动地区全要素生产率提升。机制检验发现,技术创新和产业结构升级是跨境电商综合试验区作用于地区全要素生产率的重要渠道。同时,跨境电商综合试验区促进全要素生产率提升的效果在地区的地理位置、人力资本、数字经济发展程度、行政等级方面存在异质性。空间异质性检验发现,跨境电商综合试验区对全要素生产率的影响并不存在空间溢出效应。研究结论为推动跨境电商发展及经济高质量发展提供了政策参考依据。

As an important measure of cross-border e-commerce reform,comprehensive pilot zone for cross-border e-commerce plays an important role in promoting high-quality economic development.This paper explores the impact of comprehensive pilot zone for cross-border e-commerce on regional total factor productivity by using panel data of 280 prefecture-level and the above cities from 2005 to 2020.The research finds that comprehensive pilot zone for cross-border e-commerce helps to promote the improvement of regional total factor productivity.Mechanism test finds that technological innovation and industrial structure upgrading are important channels for cross-border e-commerce comprehensive pilot zone to act on regional total factor productivity.Moreover,the effect of cross-border e-commerce comprehensive pilot zone on promoting total factor productivity is heterogeneous in regional geographical location,human capital,digital economic development degree and administrative ranks.Spatial heterogeneity test finds that the impact of cross-border e-commerce comprehensive pilot zone on total factor productivity has no spatial spillover effect.The conclusions provide policy references for promoting the development of cross-border e-commerce and high-quality economic development.
