The industry＇s prosperity suggests unique advantages of cross-border e-commerce, which are a result of promoting industrial transformation and accelerating economic restructuring. Due to asymmetric information and insufficient data, little research has been conducted on the current status and the trends of the industry as well as the magnitude of risk in cross-border e-commerce. Using the cross-border e-commerce hosting service database of BizArk, the present study has constructed an index for China ＂s export e-commerce prosperity and magnitude of risk which reveals that the industry： （i） generally presents a tendency of solid growth; （ii） has had a relatively stable situation for logistics facilitation but a drastic fluctuation in customs facilitation; （iii） has gradually shifted to competing for cheaper and more efficient marketing techniques as well as channels; and （iv） has experienced a remarkable amelioration of risk magnitude.展开更多
