Analysis of the Effect of TBT of Importing Countries on Export Intensive Margin and Export Extensive Margin of Chinese Petrochemical Products

Purpose– The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of TBT in importing countries on the export intensive margin and export extensive margin of Chinese petrochemical products as well as. Design/methodology/approach–In this study, intensive margin and extensive margin of chinese petrochemical products were measured using the export data of petrochemical products with 6 units of HS code from 2002 to 2018 in the UN Comtrade Database. In addition, the number of TBT notifications by WTO/TBT was used to measure the TBT index of importing countries. This study analyzed empirically after setting the panel model. Findings–The summary of the study is as follows. Relative GDP, relative economic liberty index, exchange rate, TBT index, and FTA were found to affect intensive margin and extensive margin. In particular, TBT was found to have an overall negative effect on intensive margin and extensive margin. It is understood that the higher the TBT of the importing country, the higher the export cost of petrochemical products, and the less the degree of intensive margin and extensive margin. Research implications or Originality– This study is meaningful in the sense that TBT correlates with export intensive margin and export extensive margin in Chinese petrochemical products.
