Abstract

Globally, economic growth is promoted through regional economic integration, and governments actively try to improve the security and efficiency of international trade and border management by optimizing the conditions for international trade. The World Trade Organization (WTO) introduced the Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) certification system to improve the efficiency of customs clearance and to ensure the security of the global supply chain. Using a sample of Taiwanese-listed firms that attained AEO certification from 2009 to 2018, this study investigates the influence of AEO certification on their export sales and corporate performance. The empirical results show that AEO-certified firms increase their ratio of export sales and the scope of export destination regions. However, AEO-certified firms can not improve their operating and market performance significantly, except for low-performance firms in the accreditation year. This study also uses the two-stage least square regressions (2SLS) method and the propensity score matching method to conduct the regression analysis. The regression results are consistent with the main findings. The findings can be used for reference by firms seeking to expand international trade and by governments to promote the country’s international trading.
国际标准认证的价值:边境安全执法对出口和公司业绩的影响
在全球范围内,区域经济一体化促进了经济增长,各国政府通过优化国际贸易条件,积极努力提高国际贸易和边境管理的安全和效率。世界贸易组织(WTO)引入了授权经营者(AEO)认证体系,以提高通关效率,确保全球供应链安全。本研究以2009年至2018年获得AEO认证的台湾上市企业为样本,考察了AEO认证对其出口销售和企业绩效的影响。实证结果表明,通过AEO认证的企业提高了出口销售比例,扩大了出口目的地区域范围。然而,AEO 认证企业并不能显著提高其经营绩效和市场绩效,只有在认证年度绩效较低的企业除外。本研究还采用了两阶段最小二乘法(2SLS)和倾向得分匹配法进行回归分析。回归结果与主要结论一致。研究结果可供寻求扩大国际贸易的企业和促进本国国际贸易的政府参考。
