Abstract

In this article, we examine the role of trade facilitation in fostering firm participation in global value chains (GVCs). We use cross-sectional data for 115 economies spanning 2006–2018 sourced from World Bank Enterprise Surveys. We employ four trade indicators which are as follows: customs, regulation quality, loans and digitalization proxying for trade facilitation measures and we correct for reverse causality using the instrumental variable approach. Our empirical findings highlight that customs requirements deter GVC participation of the firm. Further, adhering to government regulations, having access to loans and digital communication adoption fosters supply chain integration of the firm. The present study also finds favourable heterogenous effects of trade facilitation on GVC participation of less productive firms and larger firms. Our findings are robust to alternative methods of endogeneity correction and GVC definitions.JEL Codes: F1, F19, F14
贸易便利化与全球价值链参与:跨国分析
本文研究了贸易便利化在促进企业参与全球价值链(GVC)中的作用。我们使用了世界银行企业调查提供的 2006-2018 年 115 个经济体的横截面数据。我们采用了以下四个贸易指标:海关、监管质量、贷款和数字化,作为贸易便利化措施的代理指标,并使用工具变量法修正反向因果关系。我们的实证研究结果表明,海关要求阻碍了企业对全球价值链的参与。此外,遵守政府法规、获得贷款和采用数字通信技术都会促进企业的供应链整合。本研究还发现,贸易便利化对生产率较低的企业和规模较大的企业参与全球价值链具有有利的异质性影响。我们的研究结果对其他内生性校正方法和全球价值链定义都是稳健的:F1, F19, F14
