Does the internationalisation of China's agri‐food standards affect export quality upgrading?—Evidence from firm‐product‐level data

Abstract: China attaches importance to the development of standards in agri‐food sectors, especially the harmonisation of national standards with international standards. Our study matches agri‐food product standards and firm‐product customs data for the period from 2000 to 2015. We perform an empirical analysis using the ‘distance to the frontier’ model to identify the effects of the internationalisation of China's agri‐food product standards on the quality upgrading of firms' exported products. The results suggest tha… Show more

“…The results in column (5), which control for both export trade liberalization and foreign deregulation, also confirm that reduced TPU has a significant effect on firms' export expansion. Column (6) reports the results of regressions using indicators of tariff differentials measured in another way, which was constructed by drawing on Handley and Limão's work [14] (denoted by TPU2 j01 ). The results show that the coefficients of the cross terms in both columns are significantly positive, indicating that the decline in TPU boosts the exports of Chinese agricultural firms significantly.…”

“…Export trade plays a pivotal role in a country or region's economic development, not only promoting firms' productivity [1,2] and technological innovation [3,4], but also contributing to the upgrading of export products' quality [5,6]. Since the economic reform was introduced, especially since the accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO), the Chinese government has attached great importance to the development of export trade and has introduced a series of policies and measures to "stabilize foreign trade" as an important strategic objective; this has achieved remarkable results.…”
