Digital Trade, Green Innovation, and Urban Economic Resilience: Evidence from China ’ s Cross-Border E-Commerce Pilot Zones

This repository provides the datasets used in the paper “Digital Trade, Green Innovation, and Urban Economic Resilience: Evidence from China's Cross-Border E-Commerce Pilot Zones”. The data support the empirical analysis of how cross-border e-commerce (CBEC) development affects urban economic resilience in China, exploiting the establishment of Cross-Border E-Commerce Comprehensive Pilot Zones as a quasi-natural experiment.

The compiled dataset forms a balanced panel of 282 Chinese prefecture-level cities spanning the period 2009–2022, and is designed to facilitate replication, robustness checks, and further extensions of the study.
