全球价值链视角下中国装备制造业国际竞争力的测度及其影响因素研究

Measurement of international competiveness of China's equipment manufacturing and its determinants: a study from the perspective of global value chains

从全球价值链视角探讨行业出口竞争力是近年来国际贸易领域研究的热点之一。借助出口技术复杂度指标对全球价值链分工地位加以测度,研究重点聚焦我国装备制造业,探讨了其国际竞争力的状况以及影响因素。分析表明:我国装备制造业整体仍处于全球价值链中低端地位,但出口技术复杂度的稳步提升则有利于缩小与发达国家差距。对其进一步发展而言,增强外资引进过程中的本土研发投入和改善人力资本状况是重要方面。研究同时揭示相关因素在提升装备制造业国际竞争力中作用的区域异质性特征。

The competitiveness of export from the perspective of global value chains( GVCs) is a hot topic in international trade.This paper studies the international competitiveness of China's equipment manufacturing and its determinants after measuring its position in GVCs by using export technical complexity. We have the following results. China's equipment manufacturing is generally in the downstream stage; however,the steady increase of our export technical complexity helps narrow the gap between China and the developed countries. Sustainable development calls for an increase of national R&D investment and human resources. This paper also reveals the regional heterogeneity in the factors influencing the competitiveness of China's equipment manufacturing.
