Abstract

Cross-border e-commerce has become an important factor driving the transformation and development of international trade and is of great significance in building a new development pattern of mutual promotion of domestic and international double cycles. Panel data of eight provinces and cities in the Yangtze River Delta, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, and Pearl River Delta economic zones from 2016-2021 were selected, and the location text data of their cross-border e-commerce enterprises were spatially visualized and analyzed through geocoding methods, and then the level of cross-border e-commerce agglomeration in the three economic zones was evaluated through locational entropy. It is found that the spatial pattern of cross-border e-commerce in the Yangtze River Delta, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, and Pearl River Delta economic zones shows the "core-edge" distribution characteristic of decreasing from the center to the peripheral edge, and the agglomeration centers are mostly located in provincial capitals and coastal cities. From an overall perspective, the level of cross-border e-commerce industry agglomeration in the three major economic zones is Pearl River Delta > Yangtze River Delta > Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei. While Guangdong and Shanghai are eye-catching in the development of the cross-border e-commerce industry, the cross-border e-commerce in Zhejiang Province has developed rapidly since 2018, and the development of cross-border e-commerce is more concentrated.
