The Co-evolution of Digital Trade Rules Network and Digital Service Trade Network:Based on SAOM Cross-network Effect
Jointly advancing high-level institutional opening-up and high-quality trade development is of great practical significance.This paper explores the co-evolution of digital trade rules network and digital service trade network with the Stochastic Actor-oriented Model(SAOM).The results show that the high-standard rules relationship and digital service trade partnership between the economies can promote each other;only the economies that occupy the core position in digital trade rules network can attract other economies to become their digital service trading partners;the economies with a common third party in digital trade rules network are more likely to become digital service trading partners,and the economies with a common third party in digital service trade network are more likely to establish high-standard rules relationship.Extended analysis reveals that the cross-network effect of digital trade rules network on insurance and pension service trade network is more prominent,while the cross-network effect of personal entertainment service trade network on digital trade rules network is more prominent.The government governance capacity and digital infrastructure level of an economy play an important regulatory role in the co-evolution of two types of networks.
