International Vertical Specialization and China/s Manufacturing Industry Upgrading——Based on the Net Value-added Proportion of 16 Industrial Sectors
[an error occurred while processing this directive]
Abstract With Hummels’(2001)method, we calculate the VSS and the net value-added proportion of 16 manufacturing industrial sectors and empirically study the relationship between them. The results show that the VSS of manufacturing industry and 16 industrial sectors in 7 years increase gradually, which indicates that Chinese participation of vertical specialization is getting deeper. But the net value-added proportion of manufacturing industry and 16 industrial sectors presents that the change lowers after increasing. The participation of international vertical specialization promoted China’s inter-industry upgrading. But the participation also caused the decrease of the net value-added proportion and did not promote the intra-industry upgrading. China’s manufacturing industry still locates in the low-end links of the global value chain.
