中国与“一带一路”沿线国家签署FTA的贸易效应研究

自“一带一路”倡议提出以来,仅有3个沿线国家同中国签署自由贸易协定,基于2000—2018年国家层面面板数据,采用双重差分模型评估自由贸易协定签署对中国与“一带一路”沿线国家双边贸易的真实影响,并进一步分析不同法治水平下的异质性效应及其作用机制。研究发现:(1)自由贸易协定签署显著促进了中国与“一带一路”沿线伙伴国的双边贸易,并对中国与沿线较高法治水平伙伴国双边贸易的促进作用更大;(2)自由贸易协定签署主要从需求侧、供给侧、供需交易三个方面通过经济规模、技术创新、外汇储备和贸易成本四种机制对中国与沿线不同法治水平伙伴国的双边贸易产生异质性影响,具体表现为:自由贸易协定在“一带一路”沿线较高法治水平伙伴国中主要通过扩大经济规模、增加外汇储备和降低贸易成本对其与中国双边贸易产生促进作用,未能通过促进技术创新而促进双边贸易;而在“一带一路”沿线较低法治水平伙伴国中未能通过这四种机制对双边贸易产生显著影响。据此应加大力度推进自由贸易协定在“一带一路”沿线国家的提质扩容,同时因地制宜地放宽对低法治水平国家的贸易优惠政策。
