摘要

本研究探讨当地人口老化如何影响企业的全球采购策略。利用2002 - 2016年中国制造业上市公司的数据，我们发现当当地人口老龄化时，企业的进口活动显著增加，尤其是中间投入。进一步的分析表明，劳动力市场的挑战和激烈的竞争是推动这种反应的关键机制。此外，全球采购已成为一种有效的适应战略，财务业绩的改善证明了这一点。这些发现为企业如何通过利用全球采购来缓解人口老龄化带来的劳动力市场挑战提供了新的见解。

Demographic transitions and global sourcing: Firm-level evidence from China

The study investigates how local population aging impacts firms’ global sourcing strategies. Using data on Chinese listed manufacturing firms from 2002 to 2016, we find that firms significantly increase their import activities—particularly for intermediate inputs—when local population ages. Further analyses indicate that labor market challenges and intensified competition are key mechanisms driving this response. Moreover, global sourcing emerges as an effective adaptation strategy, evidenced by improved financial performance. These findings offer new insights into how firms mitigate labor market challenges posed by aging demographics by leveraging global sourcing.

期刊介绍： Economic Modelling fills a major gap in the economics literature, providing a single source of both theoretical and applied papers on economic modelling. The journal prime objective is to provide an international review of the state-of-the-art in economic modelling. Economic Modelling publishes the complete versions of many large-scale models of industrially advanced economies which have been developed for policy analysis. Examples are the Bank of England Model and the US Federal Reserve Board Model which had hitherto been unpublished. As individual models are revised and updated, the journal publishes subsequent papers dealing with these revisions, so keeping its readers as up to date as possible.
