| China’s digital economy started late,but developing rapidly.According to the Global Digital Economy Development Report released by the Shanghai Academy of Sciences,China ranked second among 53 major countries with 72 points,just behind the United States.Therefore,research on China’s digital economy development has emerged one after another,providing a good compass for China’s economic development.However,in the era of digital economy,every individual is at the junction of national network and foreign network,and inevitably gains benefits from the construction of foreign digital economy.Therefore,the research on the development of digital economy abroad should also receive academic attention.At the same time,the manufacturing industry,as one of the important supports for the rapid economic development and the long-term strength of the country,is also the topic discussed by the academic circle.For a long time,"Made in China" has been our most proud business card,but now how to transform into " Intelligent Manufacturing in China" is the focus of the task.Many scholars have deeply explored how to improve the technical complexity of Chinese products,improve the quality of products,and form a stronger Chinese influence.Based on the above background,this paper introduces the development of the digital economy of importing countries into the study of the factors influencing the quality of export products,in-depth analysis of the development of the digital economy of export destination countries to influence the quality of export products,and how to affect the specific.Based on the above problems,using the data of Chinese listed companies and customs from 2009 to 2015 with the network readiness index released by the International Economic Forum,this paper analyzed the scores and development trends of the network readiness index of 117 countries in the world in the past seven years,and presented the development of the global digital economy more directly in the form of data.Using the customs data and the data of listed companies,the quality of products at the level of year-enterprise-countryproduct in the past seven years is calculated,and the current situation of export product quality is presented from a micro perspective.Combined with the above analysis,it lays a solid realistic foundation for the in-depth study of the following chapters.By using the fixed effect model,it is proved that the development of digital economy in our trading partners has a significant positive influence on the quality of our export products.And the mechanism test shows that the improvement of innovation efficiency,the improvement of total factor productivity and the reduction of information cost are the three paths that the digital economy of importing countries has a positive effect on the quality of our export products.In addition,this paper also carries out the heterogeneity test in three aspects: the digital economy level of export destination country,the nature of industry and the mode of trade.Specifically,exporting to countries with higher development level of digital economy has the greatest positive impact on the quality of China’s products.Capitalintensive industries can improve the quality of export products to the highest degree due to the development of digital economy in importing countries,while technology-intensive industries are the least.When compared with general trade,processing trade is better able to take advantage of the dividends from the development of the digital economy in export destination countries.The whole thesis shows that Chinese enterprises should pay more attention to the utilization of digital economy of trading partner countries to realize the improvement of the quality of export products.Through the analysis of heterogeneity,Chinese enterprises should pay more attention to countries with higher development level of digital economy in terms of product quality,follow the development of world science and technology and market trends,and pay attention to technological progress and product upgrading.In addition,technology-intensive industries should also pay attention to the technology spillover and extensive information brought by the digital economy,make good use of the convenience brought by the Internet,and promote the upgrading of product quality. |
