Producer services is the security services which is carried out around the enterprise's production, as an important part of modern service industrial, its growth rate has exceeded the average level of services, and it has strong industry association with China's manufacturing from the perspective of static or dynamic. Undoubtedly the development of producer services has significant impact on China's manufacturing industry.In recent years, although the producer services in China has made rapid development, it remains at a low level, and there are problems like unreasonable industry structure, lacking of interaction with the manufacturing industry. So, speeding up its development is the inevitable choice for promoting China's manufacturing productivity level and our further economic growth. In this paper, We discuss the mechanism through which producer services affects the manufacturing industry, that is, how it influences manufacturing cost, transaction cost, provides human capital, knowledge capital, and accelerates technology innovation so as to support the development of China's manufacturing industry, from the angle from which the producer services generated. And through the research we hope to explore the inadequate nature problems which hinder producer service's "push" effect on manufacturing industry.In this paper, we select productivity rate of all state-owned and non state-owned manufacturing enterprises which are upon fixed scale level from the year 1996 to 2007 as the dependent variables, each producer services industry's output as the independent variables. And so as to characterize quantitatively the mechanism through which producer services affects manufacturing industry. We select the added cost of main business which brought about by per unit manufacturing value added to measure the production cost, select the operating cost increased arising from the unit manufacturing value added to measure the transaction cost, and select the manufacturing enterprises'technological innovation efficiency which calculated by the DEA methods as the measure of technological innovation indicator. We use the mediator inspection procedure to study the three variables'mediator in the process that the producer services affects the manufacturing productivity. The empirical results show that:Firstly, the development of producer services promotes our manufacturing productivity, but this promotion effect is relatively small and there are large differences between the various departments.Secondly, transaction cost in the producer services plays a partial mediating effect, and the development of service outsourcing is in favor of reducing transaction cost, which to some extent, achieves the purpose for which the production of manufacturing enterprises choose the outsourcing services.Thirdly, the manufacturing cost as the impact mechanism, its effect is not well playing out, except for the financial industry which enhances the performance weakly.Fourthly, technological innovation conforms to the purpose for which the scientific research makes the outsourcing decision partly. The research and comprehensive technology services sector's mediating effect is positive, and in other departments the effects or have weak performance or don't appear.The innovation of this article is to discuss the mechanism through which producer services impacts manufacturing productivity from the angle of theoretical and empirical, thus to find the deeper reason why the influence is not enough. And this will expand the perspective of further research. |
