Research On The Impact Of Digital Intermediate Imports On Export Performance Of Manufacturing Enterprises

Since reform and opening up,our country national economy and foreign trade development made the success attract worldwide attention,the manufacturing industry as our country national economy pillar industry,laid our country foreign trade develop high-speed power source.However,in recent years,with the successive emergence of trade frictions,contraction of international demand,insufficient domestic supply,rising factor costs and other problems,the living environment of manufacturing enterprises in overseas markets has continued to deteriorate,and export profitability has declined significantly.At the same time,along with the prosperous development of digital economy,traditional trade and digital technology are deeply integrated.Manufacturing industry,as the leading industry of intelligent manufacturing,has a significant increase in the demand for high-quality and high-tech digital intermediate products from abroad.Therefore,under the current background of vigorously developing digital economy as a national strategy,it is particularly important to study the relationship between imported digital intermediate goods and export performance of manufacturing enterprises.At the level of theoretical analysis,firstly,relevant literature on the import and export performance of digital intermediate goods and their mutual influence are summarized.Secondly,combined with the existing research views,the theoretical mechanism of the influence of the import of digital intermediate goods on the export performance is deeply discussed.Finally,the corresponding research hypothesis is proposed for empirical test.In the aspect of current situation analysis,this paper describes statistics and analyzes the characteristic facts of digital intermediate goods import and manufacturing enterprises’ export performance respectively.The results show that the import scale,export scale and export product quality of Chinese manufacturing enterprises’ digital intermediate goods have been continuously rising from 2000 to2013.In addition,by summing up to the regional level and the technical level of the industry,we also get the characteristic facts of the segmentation regions and industries of the imported digital intermediates and export performance.The empirical results show that the import of digital intermediate goods significantly promotes the improvement of export scale and export product quality of manufacturing enterprises.The heterogeneity regression results show that the import of digital intermediate goods has a more significant effect on the improvement of export performance of enterprises in the eastern region and high-tech enterprises.In addition,a mechanism model is built to test the effect of digital intermediate imports on export performance.The study finds that digital intermediate imports can improve export scale through two action paths of "technology spillover effect" and "product category inhibition effect".The quality of export products can be improved through three action paths: "technology spillover effect","cost saving effect" and "product type effect".Finally,based on the research conclusions,this paper puts forward relevant policy suggestions from the aspects of optimizing the business environment of digital trade,developing digital trade according to local conditions and increasing R&D investment to cultivate innovation subjects.
