内容简介/ Abstract:

This paper studies how the rise of e-commerce affects manufacturing markups in China. While existing research emphasizes consumer-side mechanisms such as lower search costs, price comparison, and expanded market access, e-commerce may also reshape upstream–downstream relationships by altering distribution wedges and competitive conditions. We develop a simple framework showing that the effect of e-commerce on manufacturing markups is theoretically ambiguous, and examine this relationship using Chinese manufacturing firm data from 2007–2016. Exploiting cross-industry variation in e-commerce exposure, we document systematic markup responses to the expansion of online retail, with heterogeneous patterns across firms and industries.
