The Effect Of Manufacturing Servitization To The Global Value Chain Climbing

Since China's reform and opening up,in the tide of economic globalization,China seize the important strategic opportunity.China has integrated quickly and deeply into the global value chain system,realized the "open type" promotion to manufacturing industry,relying on the "demographic dividend",the traditional low cost advantages,etc.But in recent years,with the rapid change of the domestic and foreign environment,China's manufacturing industry,which has long been a "low-end" aspect of global value chain,has encountered an unprecedented "ceiling constraint".One of the ways to break the constraint is to make industrial adjustment as soon as possible,realize global value chain climbing,and improve China's current status in division of labor.In numerous industry adjustment means,manufacturing servitization has been an important proposition hypothesis to promote the rising on the value chain,but constrained by data availability and research methods,we lack of deep data level understanding to China's current manufacturing servitization level and its developable space,at the same time the thesis hypothesis has been to stay in the aspect of theory deduction,and less get persuasive empirical test directly,in this case the blindly promote of servitization for manufacturing will be discounted in its pertinence and science.This paper uses the latest data released by the world input-output database(WIOD),borrowing from the latest methods,estimates the 44 countries'(regions')manufacturing servitization index respectively from the overall and subdivision level from 2000 to 2014 and calculates the corresponding division status on global value chain for each country(area).First of all,through the manufacturing servitization's measurement results,found that from both overall and subdivision industry level,the service value added in exports have in-depth development trend,but China ranks relatively low in the sample economies.Further,based on the distinction service input source between domestic and foreign of manufacturing services,the above propositional hypothesis is empirically tested by using the global panel data and China's manufacturing industry panel data in this paper,conclusion: the service inputs' effect to the global value chain is not significant in the context of the undifferentiated service input of foreign and domestic sources.If further distinguish the structure of input sources,the test results show that the domestic service inputs have a significant positive influence on the global value chain division status,instead the abroad service inputs have a significant inhibitory effect.Therefore,this paper concludes that the current level of Chinese manufacturing servitization is still relatively low,and the industrial structure adjustment based on manufacturing servitization has broad operational space.Through manufacturing servitization also can indeed realize the climbing on the global value chain,but we can't talk about "service" in general,we must distinguish service input's source and technical content,namely how to promote the development of domestic service industry especially the top producer services,enhance the "gold content" of domestic service in the manufacturing production,is the key to improve the status of global value chain division.
