Abstract:

Against the backdrop of rising uncertainties in global supply chains, enhancing supply chain resilience with the advancement of institutional opening-up has become a key strategic path for the high-quality development of China’s economy. Based on the sample data of A-share listed companies from 2010 to 2024, this paper constructs a comprehensive index system for supply chain resilience. Taking the implementation of the cross-border e-commerce pilot zone policies as an example and using the quasi-natural experiment method, it empirically examines the impact of cross-border e-commerce institutional innovation on enterprise supply chain resilience and its mechanism. The research results show that the cross-border e-commerce policy significantly enhances enterprise supply chain resilience, and their policy effects are mainly achieved through three paths: promoting trade facilitation, advancing digital transformation, and alleviating financing constraints. Heterogeneity analysis reveals that the promotion effect of the cross-border e-commerce policy on supply chain resilience is more prominent in coastal areas, non-national digital service export bases, the secondary industry, and non-state-owned enterprises. Further research finds that this policy mainly functions by enhancing the recovery ability, resistance ability, and collaboration ability of enterprises. The conclusions of this paper provide important policy implications for deepening the reform of cross-border e-commerce and enhancing the international competitiveness of enterprises.
