Description
Summary:Technical Measures to Trade have the characteristics of strong concealment and imperceptibility, which makes some WTO members frequently use “technical barriers” to restrict China’s product exports. Based on the multi-period differences-in-differences method, we use micro-data at the level of Chinese companies from 2000 to 2013 to empirically test the impact of technical measures on the export participation of companies from the perspective of corporate heterogeneity. The study found that for the strength of the technical measures, the coefficients on the technical measures variables are all significantly positive. From the perspective of the types of Technical Measures to Trade, the increase of Technical Barriers to Trade and Pre-shipment Inspection has significantly improved enterprises, and the promotion effect of Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures on the export participation degree of enterprises is not significant. According to the intermediary effect model, it can be concluded that there is an indirect transmission channel through which technical measures affect the participation of enterprises in export through export diversification.
