How Does Trade Intensity of High-end Equipment Manufacturing Industry Affect Export Technological Complexity?——Analysis Based on China-ASEAN Sample Data
This article examines the impact of trade intensity in the high-end equipment manufacturing industry on export technological complexity based on the China-ASEAN countries'trade network from 2010 to 2020,utilizing a high-dimensional fixed effects model.The research results show that the trade intensity between China and ASEAN countries has a significant positive impact on the improvement of the export technological complexity in the high-end equipment manufacturing industry of a country,with trade openness and technological innovation being the im-portant mechanisms.Compared with the rail transit equipment industry,trade intensity has a more significant effect on enhancing the export technological complexity in other areas of high-end equipments such as aviation equipment,satellites,and their applications.Hence,suggestions such as reasonably arranging regional trade networks,deepen-ing trade openness,and emphasizing technological innovation are proposed to provide ideas for promoting the tech-nological upgrading of China's high-end equipment manufacturing industry.
