摘要

为遏制COVID-19大流行，医疗产品在全球范围内发挥着重要作用。本文通过检验从中国进口医疗产品对新冠肺炎病例和死亡人数的影响，研究贸易与疫情防控之间的关系。利用固定效应模型，我们发现从中国进口的医疗产品与新冠肺炎病例呈显著负相关;自中国进口防护装备每增加1%，两周内每天新发病例减少0.24%，新冠肺炎死亡人数减少0.13%。证据表明，贸易可以在抗击疫情中发挥至关重要的作用。

Can trade help with fighting the pandemic? Evidence from imports of Chinese medical products

To contain the COVID-19 pandemic, medical products play an important role around the world. This paper studies the relationship between trade and pandemic control by testing the impact of importing medical products from China on COVID-19 cases and deaths. Using a fixed-effects model, we find that there is a significant negative correlation between imports of medical products from China and COVID-19 cases; for every 1 percent increase in protection equipment imported from China, new COVID-19 cases per day drop by 0.24 percent, and COVID-19-related deaths decrease by 0.13 percent in two weeks. The evidence suggests that trade can play a vital role in fighting the pandemic.

期刊介绍： The European Journal of Economics and Economic Policies: Intervention (EJEEP) is a peer-reviewed journal which serves as a forum for studies in macroeconomic theory, economic institutions and economic policies. The managing editors aim for productive debates involving one or more variants of heterodox economics, and invite contributions acknowledging the pluralism of research approaches. The submission of both theoretical and empirical work is encouraged. The managing editors contend that a wide variety of institutional and social factors shape economic life and economic processes. Only a careful study and integration of such factors into economics will lead to theoretical progress and to competent economic policy recommendations. This was clearly demonstrated by the inadequacy of orthodox economics, based on neoclassical foundations, to provide suitable explanations and responses to recent financial and economic crises.
