跨境电子商务与出口企业全要素生产率

Cross-border E-commerce and Total Factor Productivity of Exporting Firms

文章检验了跨境电商这一贸易新业态对出口企业全要素生产率的影响。文章通过构建双重差分模型发现,2012年后实施的跨境电商政策使得跨境电商企业的全要素生产率显著增长,一系列稳健性检验支持了该主要结论;文章的机制分析发现,跨境电商推动了企业贸易便利化,促进了企业出口市场集中化和出口产品转换,通过发挥资源再配置效应推动了企业全要素生产率的增长;文章的异质性分析发现,跨境电商对距港口较近的企业、非加工贸易企业以及国有企业的全要素生产率的提升作用更为明显。文章的研究为理解跨境电商助力外贸企业高质量发展提供了微观证据。

This paper examines the impact of Cross-Border E-Commerce(CBEC),a novel trade model,on export enterprises'total fac-tor productivity(TFP).Utilizing the difference-in-diffrences(DID)model,the study reveals that the CBEC policy implemented post-2012 significantly increased the TFP of firms engaged in this sector.This primary conclusion is corroborated by a series of robustness tests.Mechanism analysis shows that CBEC enhances enterprises'trade facilitation,augments their export market concentration,and facilitates export productconcentration.These factors collectively contribute to the growth of enterprises'TFP through resource reallocation effects.Furthermore,heterogeneity analysis indicates a more significant effect of CBEC on the TFP of firms located near ports,those involved in non-processing trade,and state-owned enterprises.The study provides micro-evidence for understanding that CBEC contributes to the high-quality development of foreign trade enterprises。
