Indirect Digital Transformation,Supply Chain Spillover and Corporate Export Trade
The application of digital technology is the central driving force behind the development of export trade.The combination of supply chain production and digital technology implementation provides indirect digital transformation opportunities for firms that may find this hard to achieve,having a profound impact on their export trade.In this context,this paper combines Chinese customs data and corporate supply chain data to conduct an in-depth analysis of the relationship between firms'indirect digital transformation and exports in the supply chain.The findings of the study indicate that indirect digital transformation can increase the export scale of firms and optimise their export binary margin.Testing of the mechanism reveals that the enhancement effect on search matching,the improvement effect on supply chain efficiency,and the innovation-promoting effect on knowledge are important channels through which indirect digital transformation promotes corporate export growth.A closer analysis illustrates that the trade growth effect caused by the spillover of supply chain technology presents an obvious phenomenon of internal and external transmission in the chain,which further promotes the development of corporate export trade.The deepening of the supply chain production mode is a realistic promotion path aimed at facilitating the integrated development of foreign trade with the support of the national production cycle.
