Abstract

This paper investigates the mechanisms and effects of international transport corridors on the growth of China's environmental goods exports. Using bilateral data between Chinese provinces and their trading partners, this study treats the opening of the China–Europe Railway Express (CRE) as a quasi-experiment and employs a staggered difference-in-differences method for empirical testing. The results show that the opening of the CRE has promoted the growth of China's environmental goods exports. This growth was driven by mechanisms that increased demand in the international market, diversified the export of environmental goods, stimulated environmental innovation, and enhanced China's capacity to supply environmental goods globally. Significant heterogeneity was observed in the trade of environmental goods due to differences in product types, exporting provinces, and importing countries. The findings suggest that the international transport corridors can generate mutual benefits in the trade of environmental goods.

国际运输走廊与中国环境产品出口增长:来自中欧班列的证据
本文研究了国际运输通道对中国环境产品出口增长的影响机制。本研究利用中国各省与其贸易伙伴之间的双边数据,将中欧铁路快线(CRE)的开通作为一个准实验,采用交错差分法进行实证检验。结果表明,中欧班列的开通促进了中国环境产品出口的增长。推动这一增长的机制包括国际市场需求的增加、环境产品出口的多样化、环境创新的激励以及中国环境产品全球供应能力的增强。由于产品种类、出口省份和进口国的不同,环境产品贸易存在显著的异质性。研究结果表明,国际运输走廊可以在环境产品贸易中产生互利。
