摘要/Abstract

摘要： 本文基于BACI数据库,实证研究来自中国这一RCEP区域内对外贸易最大的成员国的进口竞争对区域内国家出口产品质量的影响及其作用机制。结果显示,来自中国的进口竞争整体上显著推动RCEP国家出口产品质量升级,但这一影响因质量差异幅度、与中国贸易往来的亲疏、产品技术含量高低而异。机制分析表明,来自中国的进口竞争通过出口扩张、核心产品出口比重提升、中国出口经验学习及外部市场信号传递等途径促进RCEP国家出口产品质量提高。此外,来自中国的进口竞争帮助RCEP国家向价值链高端环节攀升,提高其国际分工参与程度。

Abstract: Based on the BACI database, this paper empirically studies the impact of import competition from China,the member state with the largest import and export trade volume in RCEP region, on the quality upgrading of RCEP countries' export products and the specific influence mechanism. The research results show that,on the whole, import competition from China significantly promotes the quality upgrading of RCEP countries' export products, however, this effect is heterogeneous due to the magnitude of quality differences, the closeness of trade with China, and the techonological content of the products. The mechanism analysis finds that import competition from China promotes the upgrading of product quality in RECP countries through export expansion effect, increasing the export share of core products, learning from China's export experience, and transmitting external market signals. Besides, import competition from China can help RCEP countries move up the value chain and improve their level of participation in the international division of labor.
