Impact of Input Digitization on the Quality of Exports
Based on the world input-output database and China's industrial enterprises and customs database from 2000 to 2013,the level of input digitization of enterprises and the quality of exports are measured,and the impact of input digitization on the qual-ity of exports and its mechanism of action are studied through the construction of fixed-effects model,mediating-effects model and non-linear-effects model.The results show that,firstly,input digitization significantly improves the quality of exports.Second,compared with digital infrastructure inputs,digital media and transaction inputs have a greater effect on the quality of exports;in-put digitalization exerts a greater effect on the quality of exports of enterprises in the eastern region,processing trade enterprises and foreign-funded enterprises.Third,input digitization promotes the quality of exports through cost and innovation effects.Fourth,there is an inverted U-shaped non-linear effect between input digitization and the quality of exports.Therefore,in the fu-ture,it is necessary to accelerate the process of input digitization in China and increase the penetration rate of digital elements in the manufacturing industry.Meanwhile,the government is expected to encourage enterprises to carry out digital transformation and offer favorable policy and financial support.Moreover,attention should be attached to the coordination and linkage of regional digi-tization,as well as the regional digital cooperation.Besides,it is also essential to promote the construction of a unified domestic market and accelerate the circulation between both the domestic and international markets.
