Policy supply plays a crucial role for enterprises to quickly achieve digital transformation and win a competitive advantage. As a systematic open policy characterized by both the Internet and the platform economy, it is unclear whether the pilot zones for cross-border e-commerce can make full use of the digital platform to influence the development of the digital economy for micro-entrepreneurs.
This paper uses the cross-border e-commerce pilot zone policy as a quasi-natural experiment to assess the impact of the cross-border e-commerce pilot zone on firms' digital transformation using the multi-period difference-in-differences（DiD）method. The study found that the comprehensive cross-border e-commerce pilot zone effectively facilitated the digital transformation of enterprises, and in particular had a more significant impact on the two types of transformation, namely, the underlying technology and the application of digital technology. The establishment of the comprehensive pilot zone for cross-border e-commerce drove enterprises' digital transformation by expanding market opportunities, optimizing the digital environment, and promoting the open sourcing of capital. Heterogeneity studies show that the impact of the comprehensive pilot zone for cross-border e-commerce on the digital transformation of enterprises is asymmetric, with a particularly pronounced driving effect on enterprises that are non-state-owned, small-scale, labor-intensive, in the eastern region, especially those close to Hangzhou. The article provides micro-level evidence for the government to reshape the new pattern of the digital economy through institutionalized openness, helping to maximize the policy dividends of the comprehensive pilot zone for cross-border e-commerce and promote a higher level of institutionalized openness.
The paper examines the relationship between cross-border e-commerce, institution-based openness policies, and the transformation and upgrading of enterprises in the era of the digital economy, providing empirical references for assessing the transformative effects of cross-border e-commerce, and offer important policy insights on how it can unlock market dynamism.
