The Impact Of Technology Innovation On Dual Margins Of Export

In rencent years, China’s high-tech products exports rise year after year. But after observe the data of high-tech product export the writer found that, When there is a external economic shock, high-tech industry export easily affected by international economic volatility.This situation suggests export structure of high-tech industry in China is not diversified enough. The emergence of new new trade theory suggests to us that a country’s export growth can be decomposed into two parts:The growth of the old products export scale(the intensive margin)and the growth of new product categories (extended margin).When a country’s exports mainly increase along the intensive margin,it will be extremely vulnerable to the impact of international economic fluctuations,but export increase along the extension marginal can promote the trade structure more optimization, the export growth potential is greater.The development of world’s economy shows that, technology innovation is one of the important power for export growth and trade structure transformation Independent research and development and technology transfer are the two main ways of technology innovation.They promote the ability of the technological innovation in our country.But in recent years our country high-tech industry vigorously promote independent research and development at the same time relatively ignored technology import,this situation caused us to think:whether independent R&D or technology import promoted the growth of trade and the trade structure optimization more.Whether high-tech industry get to the stage in which independent R&D has been promoted and technology import has been despised.How should we adjust technology innovation investment to more to promote the export of export structure optimization and stable growth.This article will discuss these problems.New new trade theory make it possible to investigate this issue from the perspective of dual margins.This paper first examines the dual margins situation of high-tech product export from China to the United States.On this basis, the author discuss the influences of technology innovation of export dual margins specifically. This paper choose the independent research and development and technology transfer on behalf of two different types of technology innovation investment. Then the writer compared the effect of this two kinds of technological innovation promoting the high-tech product export intensive margin and extensive margin through improving the productivity.The empirical results shows that, technological innovation have significant positive influence on the dual margins of high-tech product export,and the increasing of Independent r&d spending can promote the intensive margin of the new high-tech product export more.Technology import spending increasing can promote the expansion of margin more.The conclusion tell us, the technical level of the high-tech industry independent research and development may be lower so it may be promoted the old products to expand on the export scale more,and the introduction of technical level is relatively high, So it can promote the development of new products more.At the end of the article, we put forward relevant countermeasures and suggestions according to the research conclusion. Such as, at this stage we shoud increase the investment in technology innovation. We can not belittle the role of the technology import when we promoting independent research and development. Technology import is still indispensable progressive forces of high-tech industry in China.
