“…To further clarify the role of these two mechanisms in reducing SO 2 emission intensity, Employing Zhou et al (2023), we calculate the share of the two intermediary mechanisms of competitive effect and learning effect in the total effect, and the specific relationships are

{Effect}_{competition}=\frac{\eta_1\times {\iota}_2}{\iota_1}

and

{Effect}_{learn}=\frac{\omega_1\times {\iota}_3}{\iota_1}

. Finally, we found that the contribution rates of the mechanism of competitive effect and learning effect are 23.28% and 32.54%, respectively.…”

We propose a theoretical framework to illustrate the impact of trade policy uncertainty on pollution emissions of export enterprises and the underlying mechanism. The magnitudes of the effect and the proposed channels are empirically estimated using the case of the formal establishment of China‐ASEAN free trade area and sulfur dioxide (SO2) emission intensity as a measure of pollution emission intensity. Our analysis relies on high‐precision micro enterprise‐level data and the difference‐in‐difference methodology. The results show that China‐ASEAN free trade area effectively reduced the trade policy uncertainty and the SO2 emission intensity of Chinese enterprises exporting to ASEAN. The study also shows that the export enterprises of different trade modes, ownership types, regions, factor intensity, and pollution intensity industries show significant heterogeneity in the extent of the reduction in the SO2 emission intensity. The mechanism test reveals that the trade policy uncertainty decline mainly reduces the emission intensity of SO2 by raising the competitive and learning effects. The contribution of the learning effect is higher and accounts for 32.54% of the total effect. In addition, through dynamic decomposition at the industry level, we found that the contribution rate of resource allocation effect among enterprises in reducing the total emission intensity of SO2 of enterprises exporting to ASEAN at the industry level is 52.22%. This effect is perhaps the most significant way trade policy uncertainty impacts the SO2 pollution emission intensity.

“…Export trade plays a pivotal role in a country or region's economic development, not only promoting firms' productivity [1,2] and technological innovation [3,4], but also contributing to the upgrading of export products' quality [5,6]. Since the economic reform was introduced, especially since the accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO), the Chinese government has attached great importance to the development of export trade and has introduced a series of policies and measures to "stabilize foreign trade" as an important strategic objective; this has achieved remarkable results.…”

This article describes China’s entry into the World Trade Organization (WTO) as a quasi-natural experiment based on samples from the World Bank database, China Customs database, and China Industrial Enterprise Database from 2000 to 2007 and uses the difference-in-difference (DID) method to investigate the effect of trade policy uncertainty (TPU) on China’s agricultural exports. The study found that, first, a decline in TPU significantly increases the export volume of Chinese agricultural firms. Second, the decline in TPU significantly boosts companies engaged in general trade. Regarding export destination countries, the decline in TPU significantly promotes the agricultural firms whose export destination countries are developing countries. Regarding firms’ ownership, the promotion of agricultural exports by non-state-owned enterprises (non-SOEs) and Hong Kong-, Macao- and Taiwan-funded enterprises is even more pronounced. Third, the decline in TPU promotes the export of Chinese agricultural firms by alleviating their financing constraints. The study provides new explanations for changes in China’s agricultural exports and enriches research on the evaluation of TPU effects.
