摘要：

We study the impact of regional trade policy uncertainty on the product quality imported from ASEAN by Chinese enterprises. The research uses micro-enterprise-level data from CAFTA and employs the DID method for empirical tests. The analysis shows that China's FTA strategy has helped reduce regional trade policy uncertainty and significantly improved the quality of imported products. The quality-improvement effect varies based on ownership types, regions, factor densities and usage properties. An impact mechanism test reveals that the decline in regional trade policy uncertainty promotes the improvement in the product quality imported from ASEAN by Chinese enterprises through the competition effect and financial constraint mitigation effect.
