Research on the Impact of Cross-border E-commerce Comprehensive Pilot Zones on Urban Economic Resilience

Against the backdrop of prevailing trade protectionism and frequent global cri-ses, China's economy is undergoing a critical transition from rapid growth to high-quality development. Economic resilience reflects the ability of a country or region to restore economic growth and forge a new pattern of development after suffering external shocks. Therefore, studying the factors influencing eco-nomic resilience can provide references for China to achieve high-quality de-velopment. Meanwhile, the pilot cities for cross-border e-commerce compre-hensive pilot zones have basically achieved nationwide coverage. the State Council has approved the construction of eight batches of cross-border e-commerce comprehensive test zones, forming an open pattern of "East-West two-way mutual aid, land and sea linkage". Based on this context, this paper ex-plores whether the policy of cross-border e-commerce comprehensive pilot zones can effectively enhance urban economic resilience. This paper first reviews the literature on the impact of cross-border e-commerce comprehensive pilot zones on urban economic resilience. It then uses theories such as transaction costs, path dependence, and growth poles as the theoretical foundation to analyze the mechanisms through which the policy of cross-border e-commerce comprehensive pilot zones affects urban economic resilience. Sub-sequently, it briefly elaborates on the establishment and institutional system of the cross-border e-commerce comprehensive pilot zones. Based on the research conclusions and relevant theoretical analysis, countermeasures and suggestions are proposed from aspects such as improving the development mechanism of cross-border e-commerce comprehensive pilot zones, strengthening the intro-duction and cultivation of professionals, and optimizing the spatial layout of the cross-border e-commerce comprehensive pilot zones.
