Abstract: The paper studies the mechanism between the Confucian Culture and the dual margins of trade growth in China through the comprehensive data base organized by China Industry enterprises,China custom trade enterprise and hand-made Confucian schools.It is found that the Confucian Culture promotes the improvement of the dual margins by reducing management costs,stimulating research and development innovation,enhancing TFP and optimizing source allocation.Further studies show that the result has the heterogeneity.The influence has a more positive effect for state-owned enterprises than private enterprises but a negative effect for foreign enterprises.The Confucian Culture has a positive effect for technology-intensive enterprise but has the heterogeneity for capital-intensive enterprises and labor-intensive enterprises both on the intensive margin and the extensive margin.The paper provides a new perspective for the understanding of the export behavior of Chinese export enterprises and offers evidence and suggestions for the improvement of trade.

摘要： 本文基于中国工业企业数据库、海关贸易数据库及手工整理的儒家学院数据,探讨儒家文化对企业出口二元边际的影响。研究结果发现,儒家文化通过降低管理成本、促进研发创新、提升产品质量、提高生产效率及优化资源配置影响渠道显著促进企业出口的扩展边际和集约边际。进一步的研究显示儒家文化对企业出口二元边际的影响存在异质性,对国有企业和民营企业的影响依次减弱,对外资企业的影响是负向效应。儒家文化对技术密集型企业具有显著的促进作用;对资本密集型企业扩展边际的影响为正向效应且显著,但对集约边际的影响为负向效应且不显著;对劳动密集型企业扩展边际的影响为负向效应且显著,但对集约边际的影响为正向效应、不显著。据此,本文为中国出口企业行为探索新的研究路径,提出对外贸易高质量发展的文化建议。
