Study On The Influence Of Digital Economy On The Quality Of Export Products

As a world-renowned "world processing plant",our export trade grows steadily,relying on the advantage of low labor cost and abundant resources and environmental reserves.In the early 21 st century,it became the world’s largest exporter of goods.Statistics show that China’s export trade volume reached 21.73 trillion yuan in 2021.However,the quality of our export products is low,and we are in the low-end locked processing and manufacturing link in the global value chain division system.At the same time,with the gradual disappearance of demographic dividend and the decrease of resources and environmental reserves,our traditional production advantages are gradually weakening.Coupled with the impact of COVID-19 since the end of 2019,rising trade protectionism and technological blockade by developed countries,the security and stability of China’s industrial chain and supply chain have been threatened,and the low-quality and low-price export strategy cannot be sustained.Therefore,improving the quality of export products is an inevitable choice for China to participate in international competition under the new situation,which is of great significance to enhance the division of labor in the global value chain and implement the strategy of trade power under the new situation.Digital economy,an emerging technology form that integrates core digital technologies such as Internet and 5G with modern information network transmission technology,has been integrated into every aspect of economic society.The digital economy has changed the traditional economic development model that relied on land and manpower as key factors of production,and promoted the emergence of new business forms and models such as the industrial Internet and smart factories,becoming an important driving force for economic transformation and development.Then,can digital economy become a new engine and a new power for our export product quality enhancement? If so,further,how to enable the digital economy to improve the quality of our export products,and how to exert the digital economy to promote the quality of export products? The solution of these problems is the key to improve the quality of our export products in the digital economy era,and it is crucial to implement the strategy of trade power under the new circumstances.This paper focuses on the impact of digital economy on the quality of export products,including six chapters in content: the first chapter is the introduction.This paper mainly expounds the research background,research significance,research ideas,research methods,research content and the innovation of this paper.The second chapter is a literature review,combing and commenting on the digital economy on the quality of export products related literature.Chapter three is about the mechanism of digital economy’s influence on the quality of export products.This paper analyzes it from two aspects: technological innovation and human capital.The fourth chapter is the analysis of the status quo,through the construction of evaluation indicators and calculation,analysis of the digital economy and the quality of export products.Chapter five is the empirical analysis,through the establishment of two-way fixed effect model to verify the digital economy on the quality of export products.At the same time,the regional heterogeneity and industry heterogeneity of digital economy on export product quality are analyzed through heterogeneity test.Finally,the two mechanisms of digital economy promoting the quality of export products through technological innovation and human capital are verified by mechanism test.Chapter six is the conclusion and policy recommendations.The results show that:(1)the development of digital economy can effectively promote the quality of Chinese export products,and this effect has passed the robustness test.(2)The development of digital economy has regional heterogeneity in improving the quality of export products,and the effect is most obvious in the eastern region.At the same time,in regions with higher development degree of digital economy,digital economy has a more obvious promoting effect on the quality improvement of export products.(3)The promotion effect of the development of digital economy on the quality of export products also has industry heterogeneity,and this effect is the most obvious for mechanical and electrical instruments and vehicles.(4)Digital economy can promote the quality of export products through two mechanisms: technological innovation and human capital.
