Research on the Impact of the Third Party Effect on the Quality of FTA Digital Trade Rules Conclusion
Discussing the quality of conclusion of FTA digital trade rules is of great signifi-cance to China's development strategy of deeply participating in regional digital trade coopera-tion.Based on panel data of 187 FT As involving digital trade rules and 110 economies from 2005 to 2021,this paper empirically tests the impact of the third party effect on the quality of conclusion of FTA digital trade rules.The study finds that the sum of autonomous FTA effects can significantly improve the quality of conclusion of digital trade rules,and the difference in autonomous FTA effects significantly inhibits the quality of conclusion of digital trade rules.From the perspective of sub-clauses,the conclusion quality of data management clauses,privacy protection clauses,intellectual property protection clauses as well as dispute settlement and co-operation clauses is affected by the third-party effect.From a country perspective,compared with"South-South"economies,"North-North"economies are more sensitive to the differ-ence in autonomous FTA effects;compared with"North-North"economies,the negative ef-fect of the difference in autonomous FTA effects is smaller between"South-North"economies.
