In recent years,cross-border e-commerce has developed rapidly and gradually become a new driving force and new business form for foreign trade development.Based on the panel data of the 21 cities in Guangdong that have set up comprehensive cross-border e-commerce pilot zones from 2005 to 2020,the impact of the establishment of comprehensive cross-border e-commerce pilot zones on Guangdong's foreign trade was analyzed by using the differential differential method,and the policy effect of comprehensive cross-border e-commerce pilot zones was evaluated.The findings are as follows.The establishment of cross-border e-commerce comprehensive experimental zone significantly promotes the development of foreign trade in Guangdong,and the policy effect is obvious.The degree of opening to the outside world,the level of industrialization,and the upgrading of industrial structure all contribute to the significant growth of Guangdong's foreign trade,which is an important path to promote the high-quality development of foreign trade in the cross-border e-commerce comprehensive pilot zone.Heterogeneity analysis shows that the comprehensive experimental area of cross-border e-commerce has a more significant policy promotion effect on the export trade of the sample group with low foreign trade dependence,while the trade policy effect of the sample group with high foreign trade dependence is not significant.Finally,effective countermeasures and suggestions are put forward according to the research conclusions.
