摘要

COVID-19大流行极大地提高了全球对关键医疗产品的需求,中国是主要供应商。本文探讨了在全球范围内放宽获得口罩的政治因素,口罩是大流行初期的重要产品。采用三差中差事件研究框架,我们比较了口罩与同类产品的出口动态。我们的研究结果表明,疫情爆发后,口罩价格飙升,中国的出口也随之增加。在全球口罩短缺的情况下,国家和地方各级的政治结盟,特别是通过与中国各省的政治联系,在推动中国向伙伴国出口口罩方面发挥了重要作用。这些政治关系促进了出口的广泛增长和密集增长。此外,姊妹城市关系似乎有助于缓解早期的价格上涨。

Mask wars: Sourcing a critical medical product from China in times of COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic dramatically heightened global demand for critical medical goods, with China being a key supplier. This paper examines the political factors that eased global access to face masks, a vital product during the initial phase of the pandemic. Employing a triple difference-in-differences event study framework, we compare the export dynamics of face masks with those of similar products. Our findings indicate that face mask prices surged after the outbreak of the pandemic, and China’s exports increased in response. Amid global shortages, political alignment at the national and subnational levels, particularly through political ties with Chinese provinces, played a significant role in driving the increase in China’s face mask exports to partner countries. These political connections contributed to export growth at both the extensive and intensive margins. Moreover, sister city relationships appear to have assisted in mitigating the early price increases.
