Intermediate Input Imports And Enterprise Innovations

Trade liberalization and enterprise innovation are the focus of research in the field of international trade.Since joining the World Trade Organization,China has made obious changes in these two aspects,which is a good sample for studying these two issues.China has continuously raised the level of trade liberalization since the reform and opening up.Especially since China's accession to the World Trade Organization in 2001,China has gradually reduced import tariffs and eliminated non-tariff barriers.Foreign trade and economic have achieved rapid development.In the process of trade liberalization,intermediate products play an important role in China's import trade.At the same time,China's^ability to innovate continues to increase,and its position and role in the global are increasingly prominent.At present,China's development is in a new normal state and the economy is shifting towards high-quality development.The government proposes to establish an innovative country to help China form a new competitive advantage,while Chinese enterprises need to play a dominant role in the innovation system.In addition,the rise of unilateral trade and trade protectionism in the world also affects China's openness.Therefore,studying the liberalization of trade in intermediate goods and enterprise innovation is of great significance to the high-quality development of China's economy.At present,there are few literatures on China's intermediate goods trade liberalization and innovation.The related research mainly focuses on the final product trade liberalization and innovation,trade liberalization of intermediate goods and corporate performance.The influence of trade liberalization of middleware on enterprise innovation has not yet formed a unified conclusion.Especially in the division of industries with different technological content,few scholars have detailedly reviewed and demonstrated its mechanism.Therefore,this paper first summarizes the related literatures of trade liberalization and innovation,trade liberalization of intermediate goods and enterprise performance,trade liberalization of intermediate goods and enterprise innovation.And then it analyzes in detail the impact of intermediary product trade liberalization on enterprise innovation.Especially it carries out mechanism analysis on industries with different technical content.After an overview of China's intermediate product import trade and the status quo of China's industrial enterprise innovation,the construction of the measurement model selection data for the empirical analysis of Chinese industrial enterprises from 2001 to 2007(excluding 2004).The conclusions drawn are mainly as follows:(1)As a whole,the trade liberalization of intermediate goods has a positive effect on the innovation of Chinese enterprises.(2)From the perspective of trade methods the promotion effect on general trade enterprises is greater than that on processing trade enterprises.From the perspective of the regions where enterprises are located,the promotion effect on the eastern and western regions is greater.From the perspective of the nature of enterprise ownership,the promotion effect on the state-owned enterprises is more significant.(3)From the perspective of industries with different technical content,there is significant promotion to the enterprise of high-tech industries through technology spillover effects.There is a inhibition effect in medium-tech industries caused by the competition effect but the results are not significant.The low-tech industries also realize the promotion effect on the enterprise innovation through the cost effect.However,the promotion effect is small.
