Fields of harmony: trade standards and China’s value-added exports in global value chains
Lijuan Yang
Sažetak
This study uses a gravity model to analyse the effects of different
trade standards on China’s value-added and total exports in global
value chains (G.V.C.s). The results indicate that harmonisation with
international standards promotes both types of exports in China.
Hence, the country should not neglect the implementation of standards.
Mandatory standards have a greater impact on exports than
voluntary standards. In addition, mandatory internationally harmonised
standards have a greater trade promotion effect on total
exports than on value-added exports. Voluntary country-specific
standards have a greater trade inhibiting effect on value-added
exports than on total exports. Voluntary internationally harmonised
standards do not show statistically significant impacts on either
export type. Therefore, emerging economies should optimise the
scale and structure of standards, ensure their implementation, and
improve their international harmonisation to promote exports and
reap the benefits of joining G.V.C.s.
