Abstract

In recent years, the increasingly complex macroeconomic environment has posed new challenges to the sustainable development of enterprises and the prevention of supply chain risks. This article examines Chinese A-shares listed companies in Shanghai and Shenzhen from 2010 to 2021 as a research sample, utilizing a multi-period double difference model to investigate the impact of cross-border e-commerce reform on enterprise supply chain risk. The findings suggest that cross-border e-commerce reform significantly mitigates supply chain risks for enterprises. Further heterogeneity testing revealed that the establishment of cross-border e-commerce pilot zones primarily reduces supply chain risks for non-state-owned enterprises located in coastal areas and those with digital infrastructure. The mechanism test demonstrates that cross-border e-commerce reform lowers the supply chain risk level of enterprises by enhancing their degree of digital transformation and easing their financing constraints. Additionally, the economic consequence test shows that cross-border e-commerce reform improves investment efficiency and reduces the risk of stock price collapse by alleviating supply chain risks. The research conclusions drawn offer important insights on how to leverage cross-border e-commerce development to mitigate supply chain risks.
