摘要：We examine whether technical regulations (TRs) can improve product quality and be recognized by consumers. Theoretically, TRs impose opposite effects on the quality of export products, via consumer utility and production cost respectively; and the institutional quality of the importing countries may enhance the effect on consumer utility and lower that on production costs. We then test the theoretical model using Chinese data, and confirm our predictions. The effects exhibit large variations due to differences in many aspects, in particular: TRs of low-income countries induce Chinese firms to upgrade export quality significantly, while those of high-income countries do the opposite; Institutional quality weakens (enhances) TR's negative (positive) effect on product quality. Regarding GVC position, for capital goods & intermediate products, TRs have a stronger effect on production costs than on consumer utility, but the opposite is true for food and textiles.
