亚太价值链重构与中国的角色变迁

Reconstruction of Asia-Pacific Value Chain and The Change of Chinese Role

文章从价值链长度、价值链合作度、价值链地位和价值链分工模式四个维度构建亚太价值链重构的测度指标体系,借助WTO/OECD-TiVA数据库数据测度并分析亚太价值链重构的主要表征,重点探讨了中国在亚太价值链中的角色变迁。研究发现:在2005~2015年间亚太价值链经历了深刻的重构历程。具体而言,各亚太经济体间的价值链长度呈现出延长或缩短并存的差异化变动特征;与主要发达经济体不同,主要发展中经济体与其他大多经济体的价值链合作度趋于下降,而相对价值链地位却呈现上升态势。此外,以美国为核心的亚太价值链分工模式总体趋于弱化。在亚太价值链重构过程中,中国的亚太价值链相对地位得以显著提升,其所参与的亚太价值链分工程度日益复杂。

Firstly,this paper constructs the measurement index system of Asia-Pacific value chain reconstruction from four dimensions:value chain length,value chain cooperation degree,value chain status and value chain division mode. Then the paper use the OECDE-Ti IVA database to measure and analyze the main characterization of the Asia-Pacific value chain reconstruction,and focus on China’s role changes in the Asia-Pacific value chain. The study found that the Asia-Pacific value chain actually experienced the reconstruction process in 2005 ~ 2015. Specifically,the length of the value chain between the Asia-Pacific economies is both extended and shortened,showing significant differential characteristics. Unlike major developed economies,the value chain cooperation between major developing economies and most other economies tends to decline,while the relative value chain status shows an upward trend. In addition,the US-based Asia-Pacific value chain division of labor has generally weakened. In particular,in the process of restructuring the Asia-Pacific value chain,China’s Asia-Pacific value chain relative status has been significantly improved,and its participation in the Asia-Pacific value chain is increasingly complex.
