Blockchain-Based Secure and Fair IoT Data Trading System with Bilateral Authorization

These days,data is regarded as a valuable asset in the era of the data economy,which demands a trading platform for buying and selling data.However,online data trading poses challenges in terms of security and fairness because the seller and the buyer may not fully trust each other.Therefore,in this paper,a blockchain-based secure and fair data trading system is proposed by taking advantage of the smart contract and matchmaking encryption.The proposed system enables bilateral authorization,where data trading between a seller and a buyer is accomplished only if their policies,required by each other,are satisfied simultaneously.This can be achieved by exploiting the security features of the matchmaking encryption.To guarantee non-repudiation and fairness between trading parties,the proposed system leverages a smart contract to ensure that the parties honestly carry out the data trading protocol.However,the smart contract in the proposed system does not include complex cryptographic operations for the efficiency of onchain processes.Instead,these operations are carried out by off-chain parties and their results are used as input for the on-chain procedure.The system also uses an arbitration protocol to resolve disputes based on the trading proof recorded on the blockchain.The performance of the protocol is evaluated in terms of off-chain computation overhead and on-chain gas consumption.The results of the experiments demonstrate that the proposed protocols can enable the implementation of a cost-effective data trading system.

Has China-ASEAN Trade opening increased China’ s carbon emissions?

This study uses carbon emission data at the provincial level in China between 1998-2018 and the proportion of the total import and export trade between provinces and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations(ASEAN)in GDP to measure the level of China-ASEAN trade openness.It examines the impact of China ASEAN trade openness on carbon emissions and its transmission mechanism,and selects the RMB/USD exchange rate as an instrumental variable to address the endogeneity of China-ASEAN trade openness variables.The impact of China-ASEAN trade openness on China’s environment is estimated within a two-stage least squares framework.The results show that trade openness between China and ASEAN positively impacts China’s environment and can facilitate carbon emission reduction.The scale,structural,and technology effects brought by China-ASEAN trade liberalization jointly promote China’s carbon dioxide emission reduction.An inverted“U”relationship is found between economic growth and environmental quality in China,and some provinces and municipalities have now crossed the inflection point of the curve,in which carbon emi ssions decrease with an increase in per capita wealth.

Empirical Analysis of Xinjiang's Bilateral Trade: Gravity Model Approach

Based on the basic trade gravity model and Xinjiang's practical situation, new explanatory variables (GDP, GDPpc and SCO) are introduced to build an extended trade gravity model fitting for Xinjiang's bilateral trade. From the empirical analysis of this model, it is proposed that those three variables affect the Xinjiang's bilateral trade posi- tively. Whereas, geographic distance is found to be a significant factor influencing Xinjiang’s bilateral trade negatively. Then, by the extended trade gravity model, this article analyzes the present trade situation between Xinjiang and its main trade partners quantitatively in 2004. The results indicate that Xinjiang cooperates with its most trade partners successfully in terms of present economic scale and developing level. Xinjiang has established successfully trade part- nership with Central Asia, Central Europe and Eastern Europe, Western Europe, East Asia and South Asia. However, the foreign trade development with West Asia is much slower. Finally, some suggestions on developing Xinjiang's for- eign trade are put forward.

The Diffusion of Bilateral Tendencies in the Common Trade Policy of the European Union During the Global Financial and Economic Crisis

In this research work, the author focuses on the analysis of the diffusion of bilateral tendencies in the common trade policy of the European Union （EU） during the global financial and economic crisis. Realistic point is important trends in the trade regime during the economic crisis. The decisions taken by the representatives of the governments participating in the World Trade Organisation （WTO） are, to a significant degree, influenced by various lobbies, such as organisations and unions of food producers or other non-governmental organisations, including trade unions, The main objective of the research task is to give a comprehensive analysis of the international trade policy during the world financial and economic crisis 2008-2010. The particular mains concern the political economy models of foreign trade policy, protectionistic pressures in different political system, the level of protectionistic pressures, food producer pressures, international trade liberalization, and environmental protection bilateral tendencies in the common trade policy of the EU and the respond of the EU to the economic crisis, it must be emphasized that on a theoretical level, understanding the choice of trade policies between liberalizm and protectionisme is very important. Despite the undeniable benefits of the multilateral WTO forum for trade liberalisation, the rapid increase of North-South bilateral and multilateral Free Trade Areas （FTAs） begs a systematic explanation for why some forums are prioritized relative to others.

Study of Factors Influencing China-ASEAN Agricultural Product Trade Development in the Context of"the Belt and Road"

This paper reviewed and analyzed the current situations and influencing factors of the bilateral agricultural product trade development in China-ASEAN Free Trade Area(CAFTA),which has important practical significance for promoting the in-depth development of the free trade area and has guiding significance for precise policy implementation.Based on the status of import and export trade of agricultural products in CAFTA from 2013 to 2017,it constructed a trade gravity model.With the aid of Stata 14.0 software,it explored major factors influencing the development of bilateral agricultural trade from the total amount of agricultural products import and export and Commodity Indexes for the Standard International Trade Classification,Revision 3(SITC Rev.3)agricultural product classification data.The empirical regression results show that the GDP of ASEAN countries,the ratio of agricultural added value to GDP,and the per capita gross national income(GNI)measured based on the purchasing power parity(PPP)exchange rate have the greatest impact on agricultural product trade in CAFTA in the context of"the Belt and Road"(B&D).Based on empirical research,it came up with recommendations including adjusting the import and export structure of agricultural products,enhancing product competitive advantages,and implementing diversified markets.

Economic Influencing Factors of Trade Volume Between China and RCEP Member States

This paper examines the impact of key economic factors on trade volumes between China and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership(RCEP)member states.Studies have shown that gross domestic products(GDP),exchange rate,and inflation have an impact on China’s import and export trade volume with RCEP member states.China’s export trade volume to RCEP member states is deeply affected by China’s GDP,but the import trade volume depends on China’s domestic demand and market.The impact of exchange rates on import and export trade volumes varies from country to country.China’s export volume to RCEP member states is generally more affected by the consumption level of its residents than the consumption level of Chinese residents.

加入WTO以来中美经贸关系演变下的大豆贸易研究

中美大豆贸易是中美经贸的重要组成部分。自中国加入WTO以来,中美大豆贸易深受中美经贸关系变动影响。中美经贸关系常态化下,中美大豆贸易依存度较高,中国市场对美国大豆出口的重要性和稳定性不断加强。中美经贸摩擦期间,双边大豆贸易对中美经贸摩擦紧张程度作出即时反应,一定程度上重塑了世界大豆贸易格局,但中美经贸摩擦并没有改变中美大豆贸易紧密关系。中美经贸关系止跌企稳后,新兴大豆生产国短期内仍无法撼动美国对中国进口大豆贸易的重要地位。长期来看,巴西、阿根廷与美国出口大豆将互补式满足中国大豆需求。据此,中国应维护好与美国、新兴大豆生产国的关系,减少地缘政治风险与基建落户对大豆贸易的影响;积极拓展与“一带一路”沿线国和自贸区国家的伙伴关系,鼓励具有国际经验的大中型企业“走出去”;完善大豆产业政策,引导和调动国内农民大豆种植积极性,增强国内大豆生产能力。

中国—东盟数字经济与双边贸易研究

文章选取2010—2021年样本数据,运用熵权法构建数字经济指标体系并测算中国—东盟数字经济发展水平,通过拓展的贸易引力模型检验数字经济对中国与东盟国家双边贸易的影响。数字经济指标测算结果表明,中国—东盟整体数字经济发展指数从2010年的13.62上升至2021年的27.47,数字经济发展迅速。新加坡、中国与马来西亚数字经济发展水平较高且保持稳步增长,其他国家数字经济发展水平相对较低,还有较大的进步空间。实证结果显示,数字经济发展可以显著提高中国—东盟双边贸易额,尤其是对东盟出口贸易的促进作用更大。从细分指数来看,数字基础设施、数字应用、数字创新竞争力与数字治理对中国—东盟双边贸易均产生显著的促进作用,影响程度有大有小,而数字发展对双边贸易没有显著的促进作用。此外,国家间存在的数字经济差异能显著扩大双边贸易规模,且对出口贸易影响作用更大。在细分指标中,仅数字基础设施差异对双边贸易有显著的促进作用。

金融改革对中国与上合组织其他成员国双边贸易的影响研究

基于利用熵权法构造的相对金融改革指数和2002—2022年中国与上海合作组织其他成员国双边贸易的面板数据,建立扩展的引力模型,实证分析了金融改革对中国与上海合作组织其他成员国双边贸易的影响。基准回归结果显示:金融改革会显著促进中国与上海合作组织其他成员国的进口贸易和出口贸易,相对金融改革指数每提升1%,中国对上海合作组织其他成员国的进口贸易额提升约0.672%,出口贸易额提升约0.576%。此外,中国相对上海合作组织其他成员国的贸易自由度越高,越有利于双方进出口贸易的发展,上海合作组织各成员国人均GDP的提升会促进中国对其他成员国的进口和出口。

供应链联系促进了双边贸易自由化吗?

本文选取92个国家形成的4186个“国家对”作为样本,分别以1998~2022年各年新成立的双边FTA以及体现FTA深度变化的变量为被解释变量构建计量模型,考察国家间供应链联系对双边FTA以及贸易自由化程度加强的促进作用。结果表明,国家间供应链联系对达成双边FTA具有显著的促进作用,分时间段的样本检验也能得到类似的结论;同时中间产品贸易显著促进了国家间FTA条款范围的扩大和加深,即供应链联系显著促进了双边贸易自由化。基于供应链联系对双边贸易自由化的内在推动力,中国在寻求双边自由贸易协定谈判伙伴,乃至实施区域经济一体化战略尤其在深化“一带一路”经济合作的过程中,注重加强同相关国家和地区的供应链联系不失为一种路径选择。

RCEP视域下中国与东盟双边贸易发展潜力探析

对外贸易一直是推动中国经济增长的重要驱动力,尤其是在全球经济一体化的挑战中表现尤为突出。在贸易摩擦频发、多边贸易受阻的背景下,双边贸易的重要性日益凸显。我国与东盟国家的双边贸易潜力巨大,为我国对外贸易开辟了更加广阔的发展空间。在当前国际形势下,挖掘与东盟的双边贸易潜力对我国经济的平稳运行和健康发展具有深远意义。本文结合国际经济与贸易学、计量经济学等多学科理论,通过多角度分析,深入探讨了两国间贸易的发展趋势。文章认为我国对外贸易发展过程中应充分发挥与东盟双边贸易的比较优势,基于双方良好的贸易历史和经济基础,共同商讨、互相协作,以推动中国制造业的转型与升级,进一步促进中国外贸的良性发展,为我国经济的平稳、健康发展注入新的活力。

中老铁路运行背景下的中老贸易:成效、瓶颈与契机

中老铁路建成通车后,位于东南亚内陆地区的老挝从“陆锁国”一跃成为“陆联国”。本文研究中老铁路运行背景下中国—老挝贸易所取得的成效、仍存在的瓶颈与未来发展契机。研究发现:利用中老铁路的地缘经济优势,中老两国共同建立了磨憨—磨丁经济合作区,推动了中老双边经济贸易合作关系不断走深走实。但目前中老铁路运行背景下的中老贸易仍存在数字化应用普及程度不够深入、政企直接投资金额比例不够均衡等瓶颈。本文提出要把握好发展多式联运的运输方式,建设“中老铁路+陆海新通道”;发展跨境“丝路电商”背景下的数字贸易;加大我国对老挝直接对外投资等发展契机,以促进中老贸易高质量合作。

RCEP关税减让对中日双边贸易的影响--基于动态递归GTAP模型的模拟分析

RCEP的生效为中日双边贸易带来新的机遇和挑战。根据2013—2022年SITC分类下的产品贸易数据,对中日双边贸易发展现状和贸易结构特征进行了深入分析,并运用动态递归GTAP模型模拟分析RCEP关税减让对双边贸易的影响。结果表明:中日双边贸易在样本期间呈波动增长态势,导致贸易逆差波动变化;两国贸易结构主要集中在机械和运输设备以及杂项制品,表明两国在制造业和技术领域存在相互依存关系;贸易结构特征显示,中日双边贸易互补性大于竞争性,且以产业内贸易为主,比较优势主要体现在劳动密集型和资本密集型产品上。GTAP模型分析结果表明,RCEP的生效推动了中日贸易额增长,对两国宏观经济和社会福利产生显著影响;尽管中国在经济效应上的增幅较小,但中国对外贸易潜力更多体现在与其有更大贸易互补性的其他贸易成员国。
