Cross-border E-commerce and Total Factor Productivity of Exporting Firms
This paper examines the impact of Cross-Border E-Commerce(CBEC),a novel trade model,on export enterprises'total fac-tor productivity(TFP).Utilizing the difference-in-diffrences(DID)model,the study reveals that the CBEC policy implemented post-2012 significantly increased the TFP of firms engaged in this sector.This primary conclusion is corroborated by a series of ro-bustness tests.Mechanism analysis shows that CBEC enhances enterprises'trade facilitation,augments their export market con-centration,and facilitates export productconcentration.These factors collectively contribute to the growth of enterprises'TFP through resource reallocation effects.Furthermore,heterogeneity analysis indicates a more significant effect of CBEC on the TFP of firms located near ports,those involved in non-processing trade,and state-owned enterprises.The study provides micro-evi-dence for understanding that CBEC contributes to the high-quality development of foreign trade enterprises.
