Abstract: Taking the 2008 financial crisis as the research context, this paper measures trade facilitation through “whether an enterprise has obtained Authorized Economic Operator(AEO)certification” to estimate its impact on firm export resilience. Research findings demonstrate that trade facilitation significantly enhances export resilience, with variation patterns depending on enterprise location, functional characteristics, and the geographical attributes of export destination countries. Specifically, trade facilitation strengthens resilience through three mechanisms: reducing trade costs, enhancing export reputation, and improving the quality of export products. Notably, institutional synergy between China and destination countries partially absorbs and substitutes the promotional effects of trade facilitation systems. This study clarifies the mechanisms through which trade facilitation influences export resilience, providing empirical evidence and policy references for improving corporate credit management, advancing trade security frameworks, and strengthening national trade competitiveness.

摘要： 本文以2008年金融危机为研究背景,采用“企业是否获得AEO高级认证”衡量贸易便利化,从企业和制度层面考察贸易便利化对出口韧性的影响。研究结果表明:贸易便利化显著增强企业出口韧性,并随企业所在地位置和功能、目的国地理特征的不同而呈现明显差异;降低贸易成本、提升出口信誉及提高出口产品质量是贸易便利化增强企业出口韧性的三个作用机制,目的国与中国的制度协同在一定程度上吸收和替代了贸易便利化的促进效应;贸易便利化有助于提高企业应对外部风险的抵御能力,并对出口恢复具有明显的促进作用。上述结论揭示贸易便利化对企业出口韧性的作用机理,为优化企业信用管理、增进贸易安全和建设贸易强国贡献有益经验。
