An Empirical Analysis Of The Impact Of SPS On The Trade Cost Of Agricultural Products In China

With the deepening of economic globalization and the acceleration of regional economic integration,global trade has shown a steady upward trend.China,a country with its population and agriculture large,has rapidly expanded its trade scale after entering the WTO.China has gradually become one of the most open countries in the global agricultural trade market.The import and export of agricultural products is of great significance to China,a large agricultural trade country.At the same time,in order to protect the health of Chinese residents and domestic ecological security,the Chinese government has gradually established an increasingly perfect SPS system.Although these measures are helpful to improve the quality of China’s agricultural products for import and export,if they are not implemented properly,it may lead to an increase in the cost of agricultural products in China,an increase in the cost of living of Chinese residents,and a decline in the level of welfare of residents,which are not consistent with the background of China’s trade facilitation reform,which are not consistent with the background of China’s trade facilitation reform.This article systematically describes and analyzes the characteristic facts of China’s SPS measures and the cost of agricultural products trade,and explores the impact of China’s SPS measures on the cost of agricultural products trade in China,based on which relevant suggestions are made.The thesis is composed of five chapters.The first chapter is an introduction,which summarizes the background and significance of the study,reviews the current domestic and foreign literature,and describes the research content,methods,advantages and disadvantages.The second chapter is the relevant theoretical basis,which mainly includes SPS measures,trade costs and mechanism of action;Chapter 3 is a description of the characteristics of China’s agricultural trade,which mainly contains three aspects: They are trade scale,SPS level,and agricultural trade costs.Among them,the agricultural trade costs are described by country.Chapter4 the econometric analysis results and interpretation.It mainly uses the random effect model and fixed effect model to conduct an empirical analysis on the impact of China’s SPS measures on the trade cost of agricultural products in China,and tests the robustness of the empirical results.Chapter 5 is conclusions and recommendations,including theoretical and empirical conclusions.The empirical results show that SPS measures can significantly reduce the cost of agricultural products trade in China.Based on these results,reasonable and feasible suggestions are put forward from the government and enterprises.
