A Comparative Study Of Comparative Advantage Of Manufacturing In China's Eastern And Western Regions

In the process of modernization,because of our country has a rich endowment of resources and quickly developed into a manufacturing powerhouse.However,China's manufacturing industry has been considered in the international market is low-quality production represented and still rely on cheap labor advantage and to expand the number to obtain benefits,remains at the low end of the industry value chain.For now,the manufacturing industry of western region development lack of proprietary technology and independent brands,the development of the manufacturing industry in eastern and western region gap is very obvious.Therefore,in order to promote the competitiveness of the core of manufacturing industry and to strengthen the manufacturing comparative advantage and promote the industry internal structure improvement,reduction of development gap between eastern and western regional manufacturing,in this paper,the influence factors of eastern and western regional manufacturing comparative advantage changes made a comprehensive analysis.First of all,based on the research results of scholars at home and abroad,this paper draw lessons from the ricardian theory of comparative advantage,and based on the adjusted L-Z model from the Angle of the relative total factor productivity of manufacturing industry in eastern and western China comparative advantage changes for the measure.This article adopts the measure of relative to total factor productivity to a certain extent,eliminating the influence of the processing trade can reflect the realities of the eastern and western areas in China manufacturing industry comparative advantage changes.And not only the factor endowment theory and ricardo's theory of comparative advantage of effective combination,but the comprehensive many factors,therefore more full and accurate compared with other measures.Secondly,based on the measure result of the comparative advantages of eastern and western regional manufacturing,manufacturing industry in east China's comparative advantage from 0.4932 in 2004 to 0.6751 in 2014,the comparative advantage strengthening is significant.In terms of western region in China,the comparative advantage from 0.3618 in 2004 to 0.4763 in 2014,the comparative advantage to strengthen slowly.Then,based on China's eastern and western regional manufacturing comparative advantage empirical study found that the factors which influence of eastern and western regional manufacturing comparative advantage is the most significant effect is the independent research and development of economies of scale and factor respectively.Finally,on the basis of the empirical results,based on the development status of eastern and western regional manufacturing of local conditions,formulate relevant countermeasures,in order to enhance the core of manufacturing industrial competitiveness,strengthen its manufacturing comparative advantage,promote internal upgrade manufacturing industry structure.
