The Influence Mechanism And Effect Of Different Kinds Of Trade Cost On Exporting In China

The traditional study of trade only focused on the production cost, the formation of comparative advantage, while pay no attention to the trade costs, occurred in the process of trade. In fact, the trade costs not only shouldn’t be ignored, but also is a large percentage of total cost compared to the production cost. Especially in recent years with the deepen of international division, and the rising productivity, the production cost has been compressed in a certain limit, the trade costs exists in the field of circulation is the future research focuses. Affected by the European debt crisis, recently our export and economic growth both decline, the issue of trade cost becomes the research hotspot again. But the papers involve trade cost and the export is rare, especially the paper about what the different effects of different kinds of trade costs on export research is few.Shanghai free trade zone was established on September2013, and the zone can support for cross-border use of the Yuan、tax privileges、 cancel a variety of trade barries、simplify customs clearance system、 reduce the approval time and so on. All the policies are aimed at though reducing the trade cost between our enterprises with trade partners in other country to increase exports.The construction of the free trade zone remind us to do more and depth study of trade cost as well, put forward more targeted Policy suggestions and carry out more effective measures. The existing research of trade cost all focused on how to measure it or what influence it, but I think the method of using trade volume to measure trade cost is biased. The logical relationship of trade cost is determined by trade volume is wrong. Because of disagreeing of the existing research, this article reclassifies the trade cost and introduces the concept of different kinds of trade cost to analysis the different influence to the export. To expand the circulation costs theory of Marx to the international trade theory, this paper divide the trade cost into productive trade cost、 variable pure trade costs and fixed pure trade costs according to whether it can create value. Framework Under the framework of firm heterogeneities, we analyzed the mechanism of the three kinds of trade cost influence on the export from the theory, and at the same time, combining the Dynamic panel (GMM). The results show that all the three kinds of heterogeneous trade costs have a inverse correlation with the exports, and the influence of productive trade cost is significantly greater than pure trade cost, while the influence of variable pure trade costs slightly greater than the fixed pure trade costs. At the end, we put forward four suggestions combining with the present situation of our country trade costsThe contents of article can be divided into six parts, the introduction part elaborated the background of this topic and the significance.Then we talk about the present situation research of domestic and foreign, at the same time, we introduces the research methods and the content of this article, the structural arrangements, the innovation point and insufficiency. In the second part, we introduce and give assessment to the existing measurement methods and the classification methods of trade costs, improve the existing classification methods as well. In the third part we introduce the microscopic mechanism of how the heterogeneity trade costs affect export and compare the effects. In the fourth and fifth part we use both the statistical analysis and the econometric estimate to Empirical analyze the current trade cost situation between our country and our major trade partners and compare the effect of different kinds of trade costs on export. In the sixth part, we come to our conclusion according to the analysis of part four and part five, and put forward four suggestions at last.
