Integration of Domestic and Foreign Trade and Enterprise Innovation in the Manufacturing Industry: Theoretical Mechanisms and Empirical Evidence

摘要:

内外贸一体化作为“双循环”战略的微观运行机制,是化解外部风险和扩大内需的有效途径。企业创新对制造业转型升级和经济高质量发展至关重要,而引致企业创新的外部因素有待进一步被挖掘和论证。本文尝试将内外贸一体化纳入企业创新的分析框架,从理论和实证两方面探讨内外贸一体化对企业创新的作用机制及潜在调节效应。研究结果表明:①内外贸一体化对企业创新具有显著的正向促进作用。②内外贸一体化能够通过提升企业全要素生产率,进而提升企业创新效率;需求市场越多元化,企业内外贸一体化中需求引致创新的效果越显著;市场竞争程度越高的行业,内外贸一体化对企业创新的作用效果越显著。③西部地区内外贸一体化对企业创新的作用效果高于东、中部地区;高技术制造业内外贸一体化对企业创新的作用效果高于中、低技术制造业;私人控股企业内外贸一体化对企业创新的作用效果高于其他类型企业。研究结论可以为内外贸一体化战略提供理论支撑,也为企业创新发展提供一个可借鉴的思路。

Abstract:

As a micro-level mechanism of the “dual circulation” strategy, the integration of domestic and foreign trade is an effective way to resolve external risks and expand domestic demand. Enterprise innovation plays a key role in the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry and the high-quality development of the economy. However, the external factors that induce enterprise innovation still need to be further explored and verified. It is important to incorporate the integration of domestic and foreign trade into the analytical framework of enterprise innovation, and explore the mechanisms and potential moderating effects of the integration of domestic and foreign trade on enterprise innovation from both theoretical and empirical perspectives. The research findings show that the integration of domestic and foreign trade has a significant positive promotion effect on enterprise innovation. The integration of domestic and foreign trade can improve enterprise total factor productivity and ultimately improve enterprise innovation efficiency. The more competitive the industry is, the more significant the effect of the integration of domestic and foreign trade on enterprise innovation. The more diversified the demand market is, the more significant the effect of demand-induced innovation in the integration of domestic and foreign trade. The effect of the integration of domestic and foreign trade on enterprise innovation in the western region is higher than that in the middle and eastern regions. The effect of the integration of domestic and foreign trade on enterprise innovation in the high-tech manufacturing industry is higher than that in the middle and low-tech manufacturing industries. The effect of the integration of domestic and foreign trade on enterprise innovation in private-owned enterprises is higher than that in other types of enterprises. The research conclusions can provide theoretical support for the integration of domestic and foreign trade strategy and provide a reference for the innovative development of enterprises.
