Abstract

Import and export trading can boost gross domestic product and is a major factor of long-term economic growth. Based on the data of fixed asset investment in China from 1997 to 2017, this paper adopts the unitary linear regression model to conduct heterogeneity analysis from the perspectives of trade, region and time to explore the impact of investment on the total amount and scale of import and export. This paper concludes that China’s fixed asset investment has a positive impact on the total import and export; based on different types of trade, the promotion effect of investment on import is higher than that of export; based on different regions, investment plays the most important role in increasing import and export sales in eastern China, followed by central China, and the weakest role in western China and northeast China; based on different time intervals, the increasing effect of investment on import and export was the largest before China’s participation to the WTO. Since then, the effect has steadily declined. After the outbreak of the financial crisis in 2008, the lifting effect has further decreased.
