Research on the Relationship between Cross border E-commerce and General Trade Exports——Evidence from the cross border e-commerce comprehensive pilot zone
China places great emphasis on the development of cross-border e-commerce and has introduced a series of policies to encourage its growth.Among these policies,the establishment of comprehensive pilot zones for cross-border e-commerce plays a significant role in creating a complete industrial chain and ecosystem for cross-border e-commerce.This paper takes the comprehensive pilot zones for cross-border e-commerce as a quasi-natural experiment and employs a mul-ti-period difference-in-differences method to conduct an empirical study on the impact of these zones on the total value of general trade exports.The results indicate that the comprehensive pilot zones for cross-border e-commerce have a significant positive effect on the total value of general trade exports,with clear regional heterogeneity.The mechanism analysis reveals that these pilot zones enhance the competitiveness of enterprises and the level of regional innovation,thereby promoting the total value of general trade exports.In light of these findings,it is suggested to build the comprehensive pilot zones efficiently with high quality,pay attention to the regional heterogeneity of the effects of these zones,and optimize the supervision and services within the zones to promote high-quality development of foreign trade.
