Abstract

This study examines the influence of trade dependence, encompassing both export and import dependence, and economic dependence on cultural distance within the context of China and ASEAN countries from 1995 to 2020. Employing random‐effects models and, we investigate the impact of these dependencies on cultural distance and explore the moderating effects of humanistic exchange. Our findings reveal that trade dependence, export dependence, import dependence, and economic dependence exert negative effects on cultural distance between China and ASEAN countries. These findings are supported by the robustness test. We further analyze the moderating effects of humanistic exchange on the relationship between trade dependence, economic dependence, and cultural distance, confirming significant moderating effects specifically for trade dependence. Additionally, we observe that regional trade agreements and cultural exchange programs have heterogeneous effects on the relationship between trade and economic dependence and cultural distance, particularly among China and ASEAN countries with established agreements and programs.

贸易依赖与文化距离：中国与东盟国家的经济互动与人文交流分析

本研究探讨了 1995 年至 2020 年中国与东盟国家的贸易依存度（包括出口依存度和进口依存度）和经济依存度对文化距离的影响。通过随机效应模型，我们研究了这些依存关系对文化距离的影响，并探讨了人文交流的调节作用。我们的研究结果表明，贸易依赖、出口依赖、进口依赖和经济依赖对中国与东盟国家之间的文化距离产生负向影响。这些结论得到了稳健性检验的支持。我们进一步分析了人文交流对贸易依存度、经济依存度和文化距离之间关系的调节作用，证实了人文交流对贸易依存度的显著调节作用。此外，我们还观察到，区域贸易协定和文化交流项目对贸易经济依赖和文化距离之间的关系具有异质性影响，尤其是在已签订协议和开展项目的中国和东盟国家之间。

期刊介绍： Natural Resources Forum, a United Nations Sustainable Development Journal, focuses on international, multidisciplinary issues related to sustainable development, with an emphasis on developing countries. The journal seeks to address gaps in current knowledge and stimulate policy discussions on the most critical issues associated with the sustainable development agenda, by promoting research that integrates the social, economic, and environmental dimensions of sustainable development. Contributions that inform the global policy debate through pragmatic lessons learned from experience at the local, national, and global levels are encouraged. The Journal considers articles written on all topics relevant to sustainable development. In addition, it dedicates series, issues and special sections to specific themes that are relevant to the current discussions of the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD). Articles must be based on original research and must be relevant to policy-making. Criteria for selection of submitted articles include: 1) Relevance and importance of the topic discussed to sustainable development in general, both in terms of policy impacts and gaps in current knowledge being addressed by the article; 2) Treatment of the topic that incorporates social, economic and environmental aspects of sustainable development, rather than focusing purely on sectoral and/or technical aspects; 3) Articles must contain original applied material drawn from concrete projects, policy implementation, or literature reviews; purely theoretical papers are not entertained.
