Poverty Alleviation Partnership and E-Commerce Trade ( Marketing
Science, 2024 ) 【摘要】 Regional
inequalities are prevalent in all major economies. What are the effects of
inclusive growth policies targeting economically disadvantaged regions? In this
study, we examine how the East-West Poverty Alleviation Partnership, which
pairs rich cities in East China with economically disadvantaged cities in West
China, affects e-commerce trade. Using proprietary trade-flow data from
Alibaba, we find that the partnership boosts e-commerce trade between partnered
cities. This effect is asymmetric as it increases exports from West China to
East China but not the other way around. The effect is also particularly strong
for product categories in which West China has a comparative advantage and for the
western regions with the largest economic and development disparities.
Additionally, the results indicate that the partnership benefits both big and
small sellers equally
