RCEP的原产地规则与区域价值链重构

Rules of Origin and Regional Value Chain Reconstruction in RCEP

全球价值链背景下,企业的生产和投资进一步被原产地规则影响,合理的原产地规则能够优化区域内部资源配置并加快缔约国产业结构升级,促进区域经济一体化发展;反之,则会起负面作用。本文在总结RCEP原产地规则的结构特征基础上,提出RCEP中原产地规则的创新之处。结合中国自由贸易区优惠原产地规则限制程度体系,计算出RCEP的原产地规则限制指数。利用一般均衡模型分析原产地规则限制程度对RCEP成员国价值链创造效应、价值链转移效应和价值链替代效应的影响,发现过于严格的原产地规则对应着较高的合规成本,不利于价值链效应的发挥。RCEP的原产地规则限制程度较小,有利于区域价值链重构,提高RCEP成员国协定执行能力是现阶段亟待解决的问题。

In the context of global value chain,the production and investment of enterprises are further affected by rules of origin.Reasonable rules of origin can optimize the allocation of resources within the region,accelerate the upgrading of industrial structure of contracting countries,and promote the development of regional economic integration.Otherwise,it will have a negative effect.On the basis of summarizing the structural characteristics of RCEP rules of origin,this paper points out the innovation of RCEP rules of origin.Combined with the restriction degree system of preferential rules of origin of China's free trade zone,the restriction index of rules of origin of RCEP is calculated.The general equilibrium model was used to analyze the effect of the degree of restriction of rules of origin on the value chain creation effect,value chain shift effect and value chain substitution effect of RCEP member countries.It is found that the excessively strict rules of origin correspond to the higher compliance cost,which is not beneficial to the play of value chain effect.RCEP rules of origin are less restrictive and conducive to the reconstruction of regional value chain.It is an urgent problem to improve the implementation capacity of RCEP member states.
