Abstract:
Studying the impact of service import on the employment of importing countries from the perspective of the source of import growth and summarizing the enlightenment to China will not only help China to adjust the its trade structure and promote the orderly opening of the service industry, but also provide clear theoretical reference for exploring and continuously giving full play to the positive role of service import. Based on transnational panel data, this paper proves theoretically and empirically that the expansion of service imports can increase the employment scale of importing countries. However, after distinguishing the sources of import growth, it is found that the species margin has no significant effect on employment, the quantity margin significantly promotes employment, and the quality margin significantly inhibits employment. Furthermore, the species margin is positively promoting the employment of high-skilled labor in the emerging economies, and the quantity margin promotes the employment of low-skilled labor force and the quality margin inhibits all types of skilled labor. And the species margin helps to increase female employment and relatively alleviate gender discrimination in the labor market. The intermediary effect confirms that service imports can affect employment of import countries by affecting the productivity of import countries.
