Digital technology preferences in chinese cities from a trade competitiveness perspective
This study investigates the selection preferences for digital-factor-biased technologies (DFBT) in relation to cities' foreign trade competitiveness (FTC), using panel data from Chinese cities spanning 2011 to 2022. The findings reveal several key insights. First, cities with higher FTC are more likely to adopt digital-factor-enhanced capital-saving and labor-saving technologies, with this preference strengthening as FTC increases. Second, FTC is primarily driven by economies of scale, comparative advantage, and technological innovation—each of which shapes urban preferences for DFBT in distinct ways. Third, cities with strong FTC leverage their competitive advantages to adopt DFBT by advancing their digital industries. Additionally, both institutional openness and market-based trade accessibility significantly influence DFBT adoption.
