International Competitiveness Of Global Value Chains-based On The Perspective Of Trade In Value Added

According to Koopman's calculation model(KPWW)of trade in value added under the condition of global value chains,this paper calculates trade in value added of exporting of 41 countries' 35 industries.The data comes from WIOT(World In-put and Out-put database)year of 2001,2004 and 2011 input and output data.This paper modifies the traditional international competitiveness index by the added value of trade and study the international competition ability under the global value chain through different perspectives and dimensions.The analysis shows that:first,the traditional measuring method,compared with the method of calculated based on global value chains,is misleading and includes a large share of double counting.This study shows that calculated trade in value added method has stronger realistic explanation ability than the traditional measuring method.The empirical analysis shows that the trade benefit of the second industry has been overestimating while of the first and third industries have been underestimating by the traditional statistical method.Second,measuring international competitiveness by the index based on TiVA,from a national perspective,developed economies remain the leading power in the global economy,while the developing economies is still attached to the developed countries.From regional level,the euro zone is still the world's most competitive areas,but its economic grows slowly or even decline.Developing areas,especially East Asia and The other area of the world have strong growth momentum.From the analysis of typical countries,China's exporting trade is"big but not strong",its' one of the most competitive industries is leather goods and footwear and textile products industry.While China's services industries mostly have a disadvantage comparative competitiveness.United States' most international Competitive industries focused on the services sector--the financial industry,national defense and public administration have a strong dominant comparative advantage.German's most competitive industries mostly contained on technology and capital-intensive manufacturing department,its' transportation industry dominates the world.Third,from the aspects of industry perspective,the second sector is still the world's most important sector,which accounts for nearly forty percent of the international market share.In this sector,the capital-intensive manufacturing sector and the labor-resource intensive manufacturing sector market possession ratio is 3:1,which means that the capital-intensive manufacturing sector is still the core sector of the second industry.From the point of industry department,containing competitive advantage of department primary products of global market are those countries what is rich in natural resources;But to our surprise,the most competitiveness country for resources and labor-intensive manufacturing sector as it is,for developed countries.Meanwhile,a little number of developing countries in this sector only shows a general or a normal stronger competitive advantage.Unsurprisingly,countries with international competitive advantage on technology-capital intensive industries are all dominating by developed countries and few are developing countries.
