加工贸易战略转移是东西部协调发展的良策吗?

Is Transfer Strategy a Good Way for the Coordinated Development between Eastern and Western Region?

加工贸易在我国对外贸易中一直占有很大的比重,随着东部沿海地区的产业升级,加工贸易向西部转移已成为学术界讨论的热点话题。本文通过对“转移论”论者的理论基础—比较优势论进行评析,结合运输成本理念,提出了西部可持续发展加工贸易的建议,指出在重视自然资源、地理位置和廉价劳动力等传统比较优势的同时,更应将资源与环境的可持续发展及高等要素的培养和科技创新放到战略的高度,并由此得出结论:建立在梯度发展战略和传统比较优势战略基础上的加工贸易由东向西的战略转移绝不是东西部经济协调发展的良策。

Processing industry has accounted for a large percentage in China＇s foreign trade. Along with the industry upgrading of eastern and coastal regions, the transfer of processing trade to the western region now becomes a hot topic. This paper makes some comments on the ＂theory of transfer＂ based on the comparative advantage and combines the transportation cost and puts forward some operable suggestions on the sustainable development of processing trade in the western region. It also points out that we should focus on the traditional advantages, such as natural resources, the geographical location and cheap labor force, and attach great importance to the sustainable development of natural resources and environment and place the scientific innovation to a strategic position. It is strongly suggested that the transfer of processing trade based on the traditional comparative advantage is not a good way for the coordinated development between eastern and western region.
