摘要
贸易成本几乎被传统国际贸易理论忽视,但却广泛存在于实际国际贸易活动中。本文在采用改进的引力模型对1993—2011年中国与17个主要贸易伙伴国的双边贸易成本进行有效测度的基础上,对影响贸易成本变动的多种因素进行分析,研究表明:1993—2011年中国与主要贸易伙伴国的双边贸易成本呈现明显下降的态势,尤其是我国加入WTO后更为明显;通过进一步分析贸易成本的影响因素,认为空间距离、人均GDP差异、贸易伙伴国对外开放度、是否共边界、是否建立自由贸易区五个方面对贸易成本都有重要影响。
Trade cost has been almost neglected by traditional international trade theories, but it exists in the activities of real international trade widely. Adopting the improved gravity model, this article makes efficient measurement on the bilateral trade cost of China's 17 major trade partners over the 1993—2011 period, and then conducts analysis on the various factors influencing the changes in trade cost. Our study suggests that: From 1993 to 2011, the bilateral trade cost for China and the major trade partners tends to decrease, especially after China joined into WTO; and that through further analysis on the factors influencing trade cost, we find that five aspects-- spatial distance, difference in GDP per capita, the extent of the partners' opening to the outside, whether they share boundary, and whether they build free trade zone—have great impact on trade cost.
