Abstract

Abstract

Based on the ECIPE Digital Trade Restrictiveness Index, this paper conducts empirical research on the correlation between restrictive measures on cross-border data flow and the technical complexity of their export digital trade in 44 countries. The results indicate that restrictive measures taken by a country on cross-border data flow will restrain the upgrading of technical complexity of a country's export; compared with developed economies, the restrictive measures on cross-border data flow implemented by developing economies have a more significant negative impact on their technical complexity of export; compared with other sectors, the restrictive measures on cross-border data flow have a more inhibitory effect on export technical complexity of export sectors such as financial services and research and development services. Based on the results of this empirical research, some relevant policy recommendations are given.
- cross-border data flow,
- trade restrictions,
- trade barriers,
- digital trade,
- export technical complexity
