Abstract

In the era of digital economics, data has become a crucial factor in driving cross-border e-commerce (CBEC). We examine the impact of data policy restrictions on CBEC, focusing on the Chinese context. Using a theoretical framework that analyzes the costs and benefits of data protection regulations, we delve into the economic effects of these policies. The results show that data policies in importing countries have a substantial negative impact on China’s CBEC exports. The heterogeneous analysis shows that this negative impact is stronger for products that are more differentiated, industries that are more highly-digital and high-tech, and countries with higher income. We also estimate the moderating role of data comparative advantage. The results reveal that the trade-inhibiting effect of data restriction increases with the enhancement of importing countries’ data comparative advantage. Finally, economic freedom in the importing country can mitigate the negative impact of data policy restrictions.

数据政策限制与跨境电子商务:来自中国的证据
在数字经济时代,数据已成为推动跨境电子商务(CBEC)发展的关键因素。我们以中国为研究对象,探讨了数据政策限制对跨境电子商务的影响。通过分析数据保护法规的成本和收益的理论框架,我们深入探讨了这些政策的经济效应。结果显示,进口国的数据政策对中国的 CBEC 出口产生了巨大的负面影响。异质性分析表明,这种负面影响对于差异化程度较高的产品、数字化程度较高和高科技含量较高的行业以及收入较高的国家更为明显。我们还估算了数据比较优势的调节作用。结果显示,数据限制对贸易的抑制作用随着进口国数据比较优势的增强而增加。最后,进口国的经济自由度可以减轻数据政策限制的负面影响。
