The Impact of Innovation Efficiency and Standards Constraints on the Quality of China's Manufacturing Export Products - The Case of Six Manufacturing Segments

This paper selects manufacturing industries with different and representative degrees of production factor intensity for analysis, applies the entropy-weighted TOPSIS method to determine the index weights based on both their product profitability and market position, and constructs an index for evaluating the quality of export products. At the same time, data at the level of the six manufacturing industries from 2008 to 2019 were selected to conduct an overall empirical test using a panel model. The study finds that innovation efficiency has a significant contribution to export product quality, while standard constraints have a significant inhibitory effect
