Study On The Resource Base Of Timber Industry In China

Timber industry is the indispensable part of Chinese economic system.Ever since reform and opening,Chinese timber industry develops rapidly with a great expansion and release of the production capacity.China has now become a big exporter and producer of harvested wood products in the world. However,the big producer does not mean a strong one.For a long period of time,Chinese timber industry is set up based on the excessive consumption and inefficient utilization of original resources. The development mode of Chinese timber industry is the expansion of "quantity",rather than the improvement of "quality".This extensive growth style does not enhance the competitiveness of the timber industry,so that it can not support the sustainable development of the timber industry.In this context,the study on Chinese timber industry resources base is of great significance for building the sustainable competitiveness of the timber industry and achieving the rapid and stable development thereof.Based on the perspective of industrial competitiveness,this paper systematically studies the resource base of Chinese timber industry.The full text roughly divides into four parts,including the current situation of the resource input and allocation,the relationship between resources and industrial development,the contribution of resources on industrial development and the implementation of resource base conversion.In the process of the analysis of the resource input and allocation in the timber industry,according to the development status of Chinese timber industry,with the combination of theoretical and empirical methods,the affluent degree of resource endowment,the scale of resource inputs and the efficiency of resource allocation are further studied.At the aspect of original resources,the input and allocation of timber resources,labor force and material capital are studied respectively,and the conclusion is drawn that the supply of timber resources is heavily dependent on imports.The cost advantage of labor force is obvious,but will be gradually lost.The investment scale of material capital expands,but the allocation efficiency is low.At the aspect of creative resources,the input and allocation of technological resources, intellectual capital and financing ability are analyzed respectively,and the following problems are found that the investment of technical resources is insufficient,and the stock of intellectual capital is low,and financing capacity is also weak.According to the features of the resource input and allocation of timber industry,through the combination of qualitative and quantitative methods,the relationship between resources and industrial development is systematically studied.First of all,the researches on the relationship between original resources and the timber industry are done.The relationships of timber resources,labor force,material capital with industrial development are analyzed separately Thus it comes to the conclusion that the development of Chinese timber industry is still not free from the dependence on imported timber.In addition,the industrial development based on the comparative advantage of labor force is not sustainable.Moreover,material capital is subjected to the law of diminishing marginal returns,so the contribution of material capital to the development of the timber industry is relatively limited.Second, the relationship between creative resources and the timber industry is studied.The relationships of technological resources,intellectual capital,financing ability with industrial development are investigated separately.Then the conclusion is made that the correlation between technological resources and industrial development is quite significant.And intellectual capital possesses the feature of increasing marginal revenue.Additionally,financing ability provides the support of financial capital for industrial development.Therefore,the advantages of creative resources can fully compensate for the disadvantages of original resources,and hence creative resources become the base to support the sustainable development of Chinese timber industry.On the basis of the discussion about the relationship between the resources and industrial development,the research is done on the contribution of resources to the development of Chinese timber industry.First of all,the contribution of resources is theoretically analyzed.Based on the summary of the above research results,in view of competitiveness sustainability,marginal revenue and scale economy,the theoretical basis of resource contribution is expanded to further prove that the development mode led by creative resources is the decisive factor for timber industry to establish a lasting competitive advantage.Second,an empirical analysis is made on the contribution of resources systematically.By means of econometric models,this paper calculates the contribution rate of production factors of wood processing industry,furniture manufacturing industry and papermaking and paper products industry separately,revealing that the contribution rate of original resources of Chinese timber industry is larger than that of creative resources.Based on this,with the adoption of data envelopment analysis method,the change and constitution of total factor productivity of the timber industry are analyzed empirically,and it comes to the conclusion that due to the imbalance development of creative resources of Chinese timber industry,the synergistic effects of creative resources on industrial development are constrained.On this basis,the determination coefficient of resource base is constructed to calculate the resource base of Chinese timber industry,and a conclusion is drawn that original resources play a leading role in the development of Chinese timber industry.According to the empirical results,the idea is put forward that the resource base of Chinese timber industry should be converted,that is,to mainly achieve the transition of the tangible resource-led development mode to the creative resource-led development mode.According to the ideological connotation of the resource base conversion,this paper makes a specific study on the implementing scheme of the basic resource conversion of Chinese wood industry.First of all,the paths of the resource base conversion are analyzed.According to the corresponding relations between original resources and creative resources,six paths of the resource base conversion are proposed,that is,from the conversion of labor intensive industry to technology intensive industry,from the conversion of human resources to intellectual capital,from the conversion of material capital to intellectual capital,from the conversion of single financing mode to multiple financing mode,from the conversion of timber supply dominated by natural forests to timber supply dominated by plantation forests,from the conversion of scale diseconomy to scale economy.Second,the restrictive factors of the basic resource conversion are studied.The conversion of resource base is restricted by many factors.From the aspects of technological progress,intellectual capital cultivation,financing channel diversification and industrial scale operation,this paper systematically analyzes the restrictive factors of the basic resource conversion of Chinese timber industry to provide the basis for the establishment of the policy system. Third,the supportive policy system is designed.In view of the restrictive factors,from the aspects of technological progress and innovation,intellectual capital cultivation and accumulation,financing channel diversification and industrial scale operation,the corresponding policy system is systematically proposed to support the implementation of the resource base conversion of Chinese timber industry.
