Abstract

Cross-border e-commerce, as an innovative format and model of international trade, plays a crucial role in accelerating the transformation and upgrading of industrial structures, and shaping a modern economic framework. Using panel data from 260 prefecture-level cities in China from 2003 to 2019, this study investigates the impact of the cross-border e-commerce comprehensive pilot area (CBECCPA) policy on the upgrading of service industry structure and its mechanisms using the staggered difference-in-differences (DID) method. The results show that the CBECCPA policy can significantly promote the upgrading of service industry structure. The mechanism analysis reveals that the CBECCPA policy can promote the upgrading of service industry structure by clustering service industry enterprises, bolstering urban innovation, and increasing the scale of trade. Heterogeneity analysis indicates that the impact of the CBECCPA policy on the information transmission, software, and information technology service industry is more pronounced and the policy effect is stronger for those with a lower level of service industry structure and for pilot areas with higher levels of development, developmental foundation, developmental scale, and developmental innovation. Furthermore, the policy effect varies significantly across cities. This study provides empirical evidence and policy insights into the role of the CBECCPA in the upgrading of service industry structure.

推动经济转型：跨境电商政策对服务业结构升级的影响

跨境电商作为国际贸易的创新业态和模式，在加快产业结构转型升级、塑造现代经济框架方面发挥着至关重要的作用。本研究利用2003-2019年中国260个地级市的面板数据，采用交错差分法（DID）研究了跨境电子商务综合试验区（CBECCPA）政策对服务业结构升级的影响及其机制。结果表明，CBECCPA 政策能够显著促进服务业结构升级。机制分析表明，CBECCPA 政策可以通过集聚服务业企业、支持城市创新和扩大贸易规模来促进服务业结构升级。异质性分析表明，CBECCPA 政策对信息传输、软件和信息技术服务业的影响更加明显，对服务业结构水平较低的地区和发展水平、发展基础、发展规模、发展创新能力较强的试点地区的政策效应更强。此外，不同城市的政策效应也存在显著差异。本研究为《中英两国经济合作框架协议》在服务业结构升级中的作用提供了经验证据和政策启示。
