Abstract
ABSTRACT Existing studies have shown that the deterioration of domestic income distribution is an important cause for the decline in international trade. This paper investigates whether alleviating domestic income inequality could promote international trade. From the redistribution perspective, this study examines the relationship between state redistributive capacity and international trade by using unbalanced panel data of 153 countries from 1960 to 2018. According to our empirical findings, strengthening redistributive capacity promotes international trade by enhancing domestic society's perception of free trade. In addition, this promoting effect is independent of trade mode but varies with trade content, trade period, and trade subjects.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
