Research On Commodity Trade Networks Of Countries Along The Silk Road Economic Belt

Since ancient times,the Silk Road has been one of the most important channels connecting Eastern and Western cultures,commerce and trade.In September 2013,after President Xi Jinping proposed an initiative to jointly build the "Silk Road Economic Belt" at the Nazarbayev University in Kazakhstan,the initiative received much attention and was recognized by all countries as having an economy,The potential for cooperation in various fields such as politics.The Silk Road Economic Belt is a kind of regional network economy.Because of the existence of trade in this network,each country constitutes a network of interconnections with each other,which contains a huge market potential,and commodities as the largest trade volume between countries..Therefore,we need to explore the features and evolution of the characteristics of the "Silk Road Economic Belt" trade network from the perspective of the Internet.This article begins with the development of the trade network and the development of the national trade network along the Silk Road,and combs research theories to analyze the research methods.Based on the research purpose and availability of data,industrial manufacturing products,mineral products,and agricultural products were selected as research objects,and a local trading network consisting of 25 related node countries for the 17 years from 2000 to 2016 was constructed.The system measures and discusses the situation of the trade network of the ?Silk Road Economic Belt? and the influencing factors.On this basis,the panel data is further used for gravitational model analysis.Take industrial manufacturing products as examples,it is subdivided into 13 industries,and in-depth analysis of factors affecting individual networks composed of China and countries along the ?Silk Road Economic Belt?..The research in this paper shows that in the three types of commodity trading networks,the trade networks between various countries have gradually become closer and the trade links between countries still have much room for improvement.In the trade network of industrial products and agricultural products formed by countries along the ?Silk Road Economic Belt?,Germany,the United Kingdom,and China have stronger trade influences at both ends,and in the mineral products trade network,Central Asia and West Asia and Germany,France and other European countries have more advantages.In terms of condensed subgroups,the trading networks of the three types of commodities float between 7-8 condensed subgroups and have an extremely obvious core-edge structure.China's position in it is very volatile,but its status in the network is relatively improved.In the analysis of the factors affecting the merchandise trade network of the "Silk Road Economic Belt",the following six variables are mainly used: whether there is a common language(0-1 network),the difference network between GDP and GDP per capita,and whether there is a common boundary(0-1)Whether to join the WTO(0-1 network)and the geographical distance difference network,and use the QAP regression analysis method to analyze the main factors affecting the network,found that the selected six variables explain to a certain degree the three types of The trade network of commodities,of which the greatest influence on the trade network of industrial products is whether to join the WTO,and whether mineral products and agricultural products have the greatest influence on their common borders.Last,based on the improved gravitational model,we take industrial manufacturing products as an example to analyze the factors of trade netdraw between China and countries along the Silk Road Economic Belt.After the factors are analyzed,such as the total GDP,population size,geographical distance,national border,and regional economic organization.The results show that variables have different influence to trade of China and countries along the Silk Road Economic Belt,except the population size.
