With the continuous innovation of digital technology and the acceleration of the digitization process of service trade,digital service trade has become a new strategic point of trade competition in various countries.This paper takes the data of 20 countries along the"Belt and Road"from 2014 to 2022 as a sample,and constructs a trade facilitation index evaluation system,which includes 4 main indicators and 17 secondary indicators.The principal component analysis method and the trade gravity model are used to measure the level of digital service trade facilitation in these countries,and the trade facilitation index is introduced into the gravity model to find out the main influencing factors and estimate the trade potential index of each country.The empirical results show that:(1)The facilitation of digital service trade in China is relatively low,and there is a certain gap compared with other countries such as Singapore and Republic of Korea.(2)Improving the level of trade facilitation has a significant positive role in promoting China's digital service trade exports,and there are certain differences in the impact degree of each indicator.(3)The potential of digital service trade in countries along the"Belt and Road"has been gradually released,and there are large differences between countries,and there is still huge space for development between China and other countries.
