【摘要】 提升全要素生产率有利于推动贸易高质量发展。利用2000-2007年中国工业企业数据、海关贸易数据以及手动搜集的儒家学院数据,构建儒家文化的测度指标,实证分析了儒家文化对出口企业全要素生产率的影响及其作用机制。研究发现,儒家文化显著地促进出口企业全要素生产率的提高,经过一系列稳健性检验后,核心结论依然成立。构建的中介效应模型分析显示,研发创新是儒家文化促进出口企业全要素生产率提升的一个重要渠道。采用门槛效应模型进行非线性分析,结果表明儒家文化对中等水平创新能力出口企业全要素生产率提升的促进效应最大。异质性分析表明,儒家文化对国有企业、小规模企业和中部地区出口企业生产率提升的促进效应尤为显著。拓展性分析显示,儒家文化通过促进出口企业全要素生产率提升进一步推动了出口企业产品质量的提升。更多还原

【Abstract】 Total Factor Productivity(TFP) is regarded as the key factor for High Quality Development of international trade. This paper, making a Confucian Culture index, attempts to study the mechanism between Confucian Culture and TFP by employing the comprehensive database organized by the Chinese industrial enterprises and the Chinese trade enterprises as registered at the Customs as well as data from Confucian Schools manually calculated. The empirical analysis performed proves that Confucian Culture promotes the improvement of TFP, and the result is still robust after a series of steadiness tests. While the R&D is found to be an important channel through which the Confucian Culture promotes TFP progress, Confucian Culture shows a non-linear effect for different R&D level enterprises and has the most positive effect for the middle level enterprises. The most obvious positive TFP effect of Confucian Culture is Observed to be with those enterprises which are state-owned, small sized or export-oriented located in the central regions of the country. Further analysis also shows that Confucian Culture promotes export product quality positively.更多还原
