Abstract

Based on the theory of enterprise heterogeneity trade, this article designs the evaluation index of product quality upgrading, constructs theoretical model of product quality heterogeneity, and reveals the influence mechanism of product quality upgrading on the export behavior of enterprises. Using the microdata of China’s industrial enterprise database and customs database from 2000 to 2013, we conduct an empirical study on the relationship between product quality upgrading and enterprise export behavior. The results show that: (1) Product quality upgrading has a significant positive impact on export status of enterprises. Among them, the better the enterprise performance, the stronger the innovation ability, the larger the enterprise size, and the higher the proportion of foreign capital, the greater the export probability. (2) Product quality upgrading has a significant positive impact on export scale of enterprises. Among them, the higher the enterprise productivity, the higher the capital intensity, the lower the labor cost, and the greater the industry competition, the larger the export scale. (3) The low-level product quality upgrading has a significant negative impact on export scale, while medium-level and high-level product quality upgrading have a significant positive impact on export scale. The above results provide important policy implications.
