Abstract

Trade expenses significantly influence the growth of the digital economy and international e-commerce. Minimizing the expenses associated with international transactions and enhancing the efficacy of digital commerce are crucial strategies for international e-commerce platforms to boost their profitability. Moreover, it represents a vital approach for nations to foster external economic engagement and achieve lasting economic progress. This study utilizes the dataset from China and the nations involved in the "Belt and Road" initiative to perform an empirical examination of how lowering trade expenses can enhance the competitiveness of international e-commerce. The research identifies that several elements, including geographical distance, regulatory differences, levels of economic development, and economic liberty, impact the expenses of international e-commerce. Specifically, strategies like diminishing the costs of information retrieval, streamlining delivery and logistics expenses, and reducing the costs associated with sales channels can offer significant opportunities and competitive advantages for the growth of international e-commerce.
