(1) Background——China is the world’s largest consumer and largest exporter of wood-based panels. As the largest consumer of wood-based panels, does China’s super-large domestic market promote export trade? How to rely on the super-large domestic market to promote export trade? The home market effect test can answer whether the domestic market has a promoting effect on export trade, and the home market effect theory can also explain the reasons of the home market effect and explore the paths for China’s wood-based panels to play the advantage of the super-large domestic market and promote export trade. (2) Methods——Taking the home market effect as the theoretical perspective, this paper constructed the home market effect model of China’s wood-based panels export trade based on the trade gravity model. The research data mainly came from FAOSTAT database, UN Comtrade database, WDI database, CEPII database and EIA website. Based on the panel data of China and 48 export trading partners from 1995 to 2020, this paper analyzed whether there were home market effect, period differences and market differences in China’s wood-based panels export trade, and discussed the influence of traditional factor endowments. (3) Results——During the period from 1995 to 2020, there were both home market effects caused by relative demand scale and home market effects caused by relative demand level in China’s wood-based panels. The scale economy effect was the root cause of the home market effect of China’s wood-based panels, the agglomeration economy effect played an important role, and the improvement of product quality and technological innovation effectively promoted the home market effect. The driving force of China’s wood-based panel exports was constantly evolving. The domestic market was the basic driving force, it showed the transformation from the domestic demand scale to the domestic demand level, and had the characteristics of export orientation, and was significantly affected by the scale and level of demand in the trade market. In trade markets with different income levels, there were differences in home market effect. The product quality played a key role, and improving the product quality was conducive to exerting the home market effect caused by the relative demand level. In terms of traditional factor endowments, China’s wood-based panels export was greatly affected by labor endowments and negatively affected by capital endowments, but it was less affected by forest resources endowments. However, with the aging of population and the rise of labor costs in China, the low-cost advantage based on labor endowments was constantly being lost, and China’s wood-based panels need to gradually transform and upgrade from the low-price competition model of quantity expansion to the high quality development model of high added value and high product quality. (4) Conclusions and Discussions——In order to give full play to the home market effect, cope with the changes in the international market and realize the mutual promotion of the domestic and international double cycles, the following policy recommendations are put forward: First, stick to the strategy of expanding domestic demand, build a strong domestic market from the scale and level of demand, and strengthen the advantages of the super-large domestic market. Second, accelerate supply-side reform, continue to eliminate backward production capacity, increase the scale of single-line production, encourage mergers and restructuring, focus on supporting large enterprises, and give full play to the effects of economies of scale. Third, actively carry out the construction of industrial parks, encourage various forms of collaboration, share resources, knowledge, technology and management experience, and give play to the industrial agglomeration effect. Fourth, continue to improve product quality and implement branding strategy. Fifth, continue to strengthen technological innovation, and vigorously popularize and apply advanced equipment and technology. Sixth, attract and promote more capital to enter the industry and promote industrial transformation and upgrading. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper elaborates on the concept of 'ingredient branding' as the breakthrough point, meantime, it analyzes the cashmere industry and the market demands status of cashmere products in China, then discusses restraints on the development of cashmere industry in China, such as lack of international famous brands, depending on export strongly, large price volatility, market disruption and consumer demands for cashmere products failed to meet, and so on. Therefore, the paper concludes that the implementation of ingredient branding of cashmere is necessary and feasible, and the ingredient branding of cashmere is an effective way to promote the development of cashmere industry in China. On this basis, some suggestions are proposed on the implementation of ingredient branding of cashmere : to build the core value of brand, strengthen the communication and cooperation with upstream and downstream cashmere industrial chain, and create good image then disseminate it effectively to provide reference for the development of cashmere industry in China [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper utilizes the heterogeneous common factor models to investigate the asymmetric impacts of RMB exchange rate on the exports based on the export data classified by HS 2 digits from January 2001 to December 2008. The results show that the impacts of RMB exchange rate on Chinese exports vary with the exports of processing commodities. The appreciation of RMB will have a negative effect on the exports with small proportion of processing commodities. However, this negative impacts will decrease when the proportion of export on processing commodities increases. This paper also explains why the RMB5s appreciation has a positive impact on Chinese export and a large number of firms find it hard to operate. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper proposes a new input-output model, which is called non-competitive input-output model capturing foreign-funded enterprise and trade pattern. The model divides the economy into six parts in view of the great difference in production technology and structure between domestic enterprises and foreign-funded enterprises, and between processing export and non-processing export. The paper also compiled the corresponding table of 2007 for the new model, and estimated the different contribution of domestic enterprises and foreign-funded enterprises to China and the close relationship between them by using the new model.

With the rapid growth of the Chinese economy, the tourism industry has become an important new sector for national development and begun to attract more and more attention. The traditional push-pull economic model suggests that sectors such as tourism have a pull effect on consumption. In this model, tourism is considered to be a hot spot that stimulates consumption, promotes employment and underpins the economic growth presently seen in China. Inbound tourism development, opening up to the outside world, and export trade are synchronized, while domestic tourism increases as a result of rising living standards. There has been continued growth of investment in the development of scenic attractions and in infrastructure construction for tourism. Therefore, tourism has had a comprehensive stimulus effect on the growth of the national economy. Based on macroeconomic theory, this paper establishes a theoretical framework of investment, consumption and export effects of inbound and domestic tourism. It uses a dynamic panel regression model to analyze the impact of domestic and inbound tourism on tourism-related variables such as investment, consumption, export growth and tourism policy, as well as the relationships between tourism and these variables using data from 1982 to 2010. To further confirm this pull effect, we also develop new methods to calculate the contribution rate of inbound and domestic tourism to investment, consumption and exports respectively through the use of a tourism data smoothing model. The results of this study were as follows. First, there was a complementary relationship between inbound tourism, domestic tourism and investment. This clearly indicates that the development of inbound and domestic tourism had a positive effect on the expansion of investment because of national and local government support for scenic attraction development and tourism infrastructure construction. Second, tourism has had a significant positive pull effect on the expansion of final consumption, especially in the transportation, catering and shopping sectors. Moreover, some tourism policies that have been put into effect. For example, the "The Suggestions of Promoting Tourism Industry" and "National Popular Leisure Program" suggest that, given the rapid income growth of the population, the scale and consumption capacity of domestic tourism is huge, and hence, the role of domestic tourism in economic development is much more important than that in inbound tourism. Finally, this study shows that inbound tourism has had a more positive role in boosting export trade figures than domestic tourism, because tourism at the international level is a significant export industry. With the development of globalization and international tourism, the pull effect of domestic and inbound tourism on Chinese investment, consumption levels and exports will further increase. Our conclusions could have important implications for policymakers in coordinating the development of the relationship between investment, consumption, exports, and domestic and inbound tourism. Therefore, with active tourism policy being carried out, the development of domestic and inbound tourism will continue to be an important way to maintain economic growth and expand domestic demand in China.

This paper studies the relationship between international trade and employment by the panel data of 63 countries from 1991 to 2008. It is found that export openness from the global perspective has significant positive effect on employment, but import has negative effects on employment, though not significant. As for the developed and developing countries, export can benefit the employment for both, but import will damage the employment of the north and south and the developed countries will have a more serious negative influence. As for regional regression, export can still help increase the employment of all regions, but the effect in Latin American is not significant; the developing countries of East and Southeast Asia have the most significant positive effect, but the import has a negative impact on employment, and only that in the Latin American countries can promote their employment.

Regional innovation has significantly promoted economic development. Based on the data of 199 economies of the World Bank from 1995 to 2019, the intermediary effect model and group testing are used to construct a comprehensive analysis framework. The research results show that theoretically, regional innovation can empower economic development through industrial structure. Empirically, the comprehensive level of regional innovation and high-quality development of the economy is measured, and the industrial structure of the economy is described by the proportion of exports of each industry, and the mediation effect is analyzed on this basis. Regional innovation has significantly promoted economic development. Technological innovation, market innovation, and organizational innovation have a linear positive relationship with economic development. Product innovation and resource allocation innovation present an inverted U-shaped structure. This conclusion is tested to be valid and robust after grouping tests with substituted variables. The analysis of the mechanism shows that regional innovation promotes the development of technology-intensive industries and accelerates the transformation and extinction of human resource-intensive and natural resource-intensive industries.

A trade and environment model from the perspective of intra-product specialization bases itself on the triple environmental effects of trade liberalization and takes export pollution level of pollution-intensive industry as the main subject. Based on the 1995 - 2009 panel data, this paper empirically studies export environmental effects of China's foreign trade in the context of international intra-product specialization, which is believed to reflect the effects of intra-product specialization on China' foreign trade and environment. The results indicate that intra-product specialization can lower export pollution level of pollution-intensive industry, enhance the environmental and technological effects, and thus reduce export environmental costs under certain circumstances.

Based on the annual data set, which involves a balanced panel of four port cities exports to 32 countries and Hong Kong, China over the period of 1997 2008, this paper is the first attempt to extend the conventional gravity model to measure the effect of transport costs and port efficiency on China's exports. Our results can be summarized in three main findings: 1) the improvement of port efficiency and reduction of road transport costs play a vital role in China's export competitiveness in the global market. The coefficient estimates on them are relatively large, around 0.72 and -0.89, respectively; 2) the effect of transport costs and port efficiency on China-to-Asia exports significantly exceeds that on China-to-Europe and China-to-America exports; 3) the overall estimated elasticity of road, railroad and port measure is 1.66, which is almost three times that of the average wage of port cities. The empirical results provide strong evidences that improvement in the quality of transportation services in port cities of China exhibit significant economic effects not only on how much but also how trade grows.

Based on the visual angle of new economic geography and open economy, this paper firstly establishes the empirical model and then explores the impact of market access on China spatial wage inequality ,and degree of import and export trade dependency and degree of foreign capital dependency on China spatial wage inequality by using the 2001-2008 panel data of China's 30 provinces. The findings show that market access has a significant positive influence on the wage level of the eastern, central and western regions, and it is one of the main factors of the disparity of spatial wage in China. To a certain extent, the degree of import trade dependency and the degree of foreign capital dependency is increasing the spatial wage inequality, but the degree of export trade dependency alleviates the inequality of regional wages. The impact of other variables on the wage level may vary with regions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Since the reform and opening-up, Chinese textile industry's comparative advantage has been realized by the unachieved environmental cost internalization in China. However, if environmental cost internalization is achieved in other countries, the comparative advantage of our textile industry will change. Environmental cost internalization affects trade competitiveness and changes the export comparative advantage. Taking the above factors into consideration and taking the textile industry as an example, this paper focuses on the impact the environmental cost internalization has on trade competitiveness.
