A Study on Guangdong Province Foreign Trade Business Environment Evaluation and Optimization Research

Abstract

By constructing a comprehensive evaluation system for Guangdong’s foreign trade business environment based on the annual data from 2015 to 2019, factor analysis and entropy weight method are adopted to analyze Guangdong’s foreign trade business environment in recent years. This study discusses the aspects that the government should focus on in order to improve the foreign trade business environment more effectively. The results of the study are as follows: first, the overall differences in the foreign trade business environment of the Pearl River Delta urban agglomeration are small, and the cities play an important role in improving the foreign trade business environment; second, the foreign trade business environment is not fully constrained by economic development, so the foreign trade business environment can be more advanced than the city’s economic level and serve as the impetus for economic growth; third, there has been an improvement in how the attractiveness of foreign capital influences the foreign trade business environment. The Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) agreement should be implemented in local cities, in order to construct an institutional framework of fair competition, enhance the transparency of investment barriers, and strengthen the protection of foreign investors’ rights.

Case study on synergistic development strategy of cross-border e-commerce and logistics: An empirically model estimation

“…Scholars have categorized CBEC and logistics research into four main aspects: logistics models, border e-logistics, cross-domain logistics, and collaborative development of CBEC logistics [ 5 ]. These categories encompass a wide range of studies exploring different facets of the interaction between CBEC and logistics, including operational models, regulatory frameworks, and collaborative strategies.…”

“…Specifically, the development of foreign trade has a very long history in one of the provinces in China, i.e., Guangdong. The Chinese province has the enormous geographical advantage of facing Southeast Asia, the support of the Pearl River Delta in its hinterland, and proximity to Hong Kong and Macau [ 5 ]. Therefore, robust manufacturing sectors have been established in the province to facilitate CBEC [ 6 ].…”

“…Approximately 70% of the nation’s CBEC businesses are situated in Guangdong, with SMEs and sole proprietorships accounting for approximately 50% [ 7 ]. 50% of CBEC enterprises are SMEs and individual operators; they have opened over 300,000 online store platforms in major CBEC, of which 80% have completed full online marketing [ 5 ]. This has accounted for substantial import and export markets for approximately 30% of the country’s total imports and exports, with a relatively complete industrial chain [ 6 ].…”

“…Various production bases in the Pearl River Delta cover the complete supply chain of almost all the best-selling products in Greater China, including those commercial products of apparel, footwear, food, tobacco and alcohol, and daily chemicals, in addition to diverse culture, transportation, etc. [ 5 ]. The sales domain for international e-commerce is diverse and complex [ 8 ].…”

Research on Financing Environment Evaluation of Scientific Innovation Industry Based on the Bayesian Network Model under the Background of Green Economy

“…For specific industries or regions, some scholars have divided the financing environment into the entrepreneurial environment, legal environment [13][14], ecological environment [15] and humanistic and social environment [16]. In terms of financing environment evaluation methods, the traditional evaluation methods include the entropy weight method, factor analysis method [17], analytic hierarchy process [16], principal component analysis method [18] and correlation analysis method [19]. Then some scholars have integrated the triangular fuzzy number [20] and system dynamics method [21] with the traditional evaluation methods.…”
