Does the Construction of International Dry Ports Promote Foreign Trade in China's Inland Areas?
Compared with the eastern coastal areas,does the construction of international dry ports really play the role of an open platform in inland areas,under the background of relatively low degree of opening-up in inland areas?Based on the reliability of the data,this article selects panel data from 85 prefecture level cities in 12 provinces in inland areas from 2005 to 2020,and uses a multi period DID model to empirically test the impact and mechanism of international land port construction on foreign trade in in-land areas.The research results show that the construction of international land ports can promote the development of foreign trade in inland areas,and the impact on imports is greater than exports.The parallel trend test,placebo test,and counterfactual test all confirmed the existence of this promoting effect.From the perspective of mechanism,the construction of international land ports promotes the development of foreign trade in inland areas by promoting economic agglomeration and upgrading industrial institu-tions.The above research results can provide useful insights for further accelerating the construction of land ports,promoting the adjustment of industrial structure in inland areas of China,and cultivating new advantages in trade competition.
