“一带一路”沿线境外经贸合作区对东道国经济增长的影响及机制研究

境外经贸合作区是共建“一带一路”倡议的重要承接点,也是推动我国企业高质量“走出去”的重要平台,如何评估合作区建设对考察我国“一带一路”倡议成效与境外经贸合作区的实践效果具有重要参考价值。基于60个“一带一路”沿线国家的样本数据,通过渐进性双重差分法,可对境外经贸合作区对东道国经济增长的影响和内在机制进行实证分析,并对东道国经济特征和合作区类型进行异质性分析。研究结果表明:第一,境外经贸合作区的建立可以显著促进东道国的经济增长。其中,外商投资流入和贸易规模发挥了部分中介作用。第二,境外经贸合作区在促进东道国的经济增长方面具有异质性,对收入水平较低、营商制度较差的国家具有更强的经济助推作用。

国际贸易、交通基础设施与区域经济长期增长--基于近现代中国的研究

本文基于中国近代出口与近现代铁路建设的历史经验,探讨国际贸易与交通基础设施对区域经济长期增长的综合影响。理论与实证研究发现:近代出口贸易与铁路建设均能够显著促进区域人口长期增长,两者的影响具有替代性,该替代性在邻近历史口岸或较早开通铁路的地区相对较强。进一步分析表明,铁路一方面能够提升贸易区位劣势地区的企业出口参与度,另一方面能够促使出口福利空间溢出,增强贸易区位劣势地区对劳动力迁移的吸引力,从而对出口贸易的影响起到替代性作用。本文的研究结论揭示了交通基础设施在国际贸易的资源空间配置效应中发挥的重要作用,为当今中国统筹对外开放布局优化与国内市场一体化、推动区域经济协调发展提供了参考。
