R&D Investment, Technological Innovation And Export Competitiveness Of Our Country’s High-tech Industry

Our country’s export volume is now the biggest in the world. However, the quality of the export is not satisfying. There are some problems. The export level is low, and some products have low added value.High-tech industry is the most active industry under the background of knowledge economy, as well as the’booster’of the society and economy, which plays an important role in adjustment and optimization of the industrial structure. Since China’s entrance to WTO, the export competitiveness of high-tech industry has gained rapid development. However, as a part of the global division of work, what is the substance of the development of Chinese high-tech industry and whether the promotion of export competitiveness has boosted the transformation of trade growth mode.Firstly, the passage introduces the operating situation of our high-tech industry. Then, the passage studies whether R&D investment has in impact on export competitiveness and what the specific mechanism of the impact is, from the perspective of industry and province. Refer to the relevant literature, this passage mainly studies three index of export competitiveness:Export Competitive Index, ECI、 Trade Competitive Index,TCI and Revealed Comparative Advantage RCA. According to the classification of Chinese high-tech industry, this passages put the classification of the high-tech product which made in Jan.2014 by Eurostat indicators, combined with UN Comtrade SITC Rev.3 into Chinese high-tech industry, so that we can measure the three indexes completely.This passage establishes a model which measures how R&D investment influences export competitiveness, as well as a model which measures how R&D investment generates innovation output and how innovation output have an impact on export competitiveness. Through the empirical study, this passage has a conclusion: We should raise R&D investment to give rise to more innovation output, especially the government input. And we should increase the ability of independent innovation and independent R&D, instead of relying on the input, to change the status in global value chain of division of work.
