The Impact Of Informatization On The Quality Of Export Products

With the deepening of global economic competition and the advent of the era of big data,in the face of the "two-way squeeze" formed by the developed countries to lock in high-end industries and developing countries to undertake low-end industries,how to adapt to the trend of the times and use information technology to get rid of China's external Trade over-biased cost-oriented export expansion model,breaking the low-end lock of global value chain,improving the quality of export products,focusing on trade transformation and upgrading,and coordinating regional development is a topic of great practical significance.In the past,there were quite a lot of literatures on the quality of informationization and export products.However,there are few studies on the “cross-zone” of the two.Therefore,it is of theoretical significance to study the mechanism andevidence of the influence of informatization on the quality of export products.Firstly,this paper introduces the concept of informationization,export product quality and related measurement methods on the theoretical level,and uses the new calculation method to measure the informationization level and export product quality,and conduct horizontal and vertical comparison analysis.Secondly,from the perspective of enterprise heterogeneity,this paper explores the mechanism of informationization on the quality of export products,and studies the two paths of direct path and indirect path,and proposes corresponding theoretical hypotheses.Then,empirically,using provincial panel data,the quality of export products will be regressed at the national and regional levels,and the quality of export products will be divided into high,medium and low categories for comparative analysis.Finally,the conclusions are obtained through empirical tests,and the theoretical hypotheses are verified,and some effective suggestions for China's export trade are pointed out.Theoretical analysis and empirical results show that:(1)In general,informatization has a positive effect on the quality of China's export products.However,for China's regions,the difference is large.The information level of the eastern region and the quality of export products are in a leading position.The central region is slightly backward but theupward trend is strong.The western region is located inland,the factor endowment is poor,and information transmission lags behind.,limiting the improvement of the quality of export products.(2)The effect of informatization on the quality of regional export products has an“inverted U-shaped” trend.That is to say,the promotion effect of informatization reaches the strongest when the quality of export products is raised to a certain level.At this time,the "acceleration" is the largest,and the quality of export products higher than this level will cause informationization due to the diminishing effect of marginal factors.Can not play the biggest promotion effect.(3)Informatization will indirectly affect the quality of regional export products through other factors such as regional economic development level,human capital,R&D investment,marketization level,foreign direct investment,infrastructure,and financing constraints.(4)Although informatization has a positive effect on the quality of China's regional export products,its contribution is still relatively low,which is directly related to China's current information digestion capacity,innovation development,and information consumption capacity.Based on the above conclusions,this paper proposes corresponding policy recommendations: further adjust the industrial structure,take the information industry as the main driving force of export trade to lead economic growth;coordinate the development of inter-regionalinformationization,improve the quality of the whole people;recognize the differences in regional export complexity,Achieve regional balanced development;promote the export of high-tech products and achieve industrial upgrading.The possible innovations of the article are as follows: First,on the research issue,scholars have studied more on the two independent fields of informationization and export product quality,but the research on the“cross-cutting field” of the influence of informationization on the quality of export products is still fresh.There are involved.Therefore,the research in this paper opens the "black box" to study the impact of informatization on the quality of export products.Secondly,on the research content.For the first time,it forms an analytical framework for the improvement of the quality of export products in informationization,and proposes two paths for the effect of informatization on the quality of export products : direct and indirect.An empirical study based on Chinese provincial panel data was carried out to prove the existence of two paths.Third,in terms of research methods,this paper uses the panel quantile regression to study the differences in the quality of export products under the quality levels of high,medium and low three export products,and divides the time and the segments into two.The relationship was tested and compared.
