Domestic Supplier Stability and Firms'"Export Stability"
In the current context of heightened global economic and political uncertainty,stable domestic supplier relationship is a pivotal strategy to enhance the resilience of export supply chains and improve the export stability of enterprises.This paper adopts a survival analysis model and focuses on the impact and mechanism of domestic supplier stability on enterprise export stability from the perspective of supply chain linkage.The study finds that domestic supplier stability enhances enterprise export stability.Mechanism tests show that maintaining stable relationships with domestic suppliers can streamline the financial,innovation and product chains of enterprises,thereby enhancing export stability through the alleviation of financing constraints,the enhancement of innovation ability and the improvement of inventory management efficiency.Fur-thermore,the analysis of heterogeneity reveals that the stability of domestic suppliers has a significant impact on the"stable exports"of enter-prises,with a positive effect on achieving"stable export"outcomes.Heterogeneity analysis reveals that the effect of domestic supplier stabili-ty on enterprise"stable exports"varies according to the competitive environment in which enterprises operate,their control over supply chains,and the resource advantages of their suppliers.Furthermore,a stable relationship not only helps to"stabilize exports",but also en-hances export resilience and fosters the principles of"seeking progress while stabilizing"and"improving quality while stabilizing".This stud-y confirms the key role of domestic supplier stability in achieving"stable exports",underscores the significance and value of supply chains as conduits for enterprises to secure resources,and offers valuable theoretical insights and policy implications for further smoothing domestic cir-culation and enhancing the stability of international circulation.
