摘要(Abstract)：
双边贸易壁垒除了地理距离之外还应包括跨国间文化异质性程度带来的贸易成本。本文选择民族间距其最近的共同祖先所过去时间—遗传距离作为文化异质性的度量指标并阐述其有效性,并采用民族加权法计算了我国与110个国家的遗传距离,在贸易引力模型的基础上对1996-2010年的面板数据进行实证分析,结果表明:在控制地理距离等变量后,遗传距离对双边贸易流量起着显著的阻碍作用,随着时间的推移呈递增趋势,遗传距离与地理距离对双边贸易的影响存在替代效应;进一步分析发现,遗传距离对我国与24个发达国家的双边贸易流量的负向效应更显著。本文引入公元1500年主要民族间遗传距离作为工具变量,面板IV估计较好地克服了解释变量的内生性问题,实证结果具有稳健性。
