China's Sports Industry Input-output Study

This paper based on the calculation system of Chinese national economy and the input-output analytical theories together with the characteristics of sport industry, attempts to analyze macro-graphically (from national level), neutrally (from regional level) and microscopically (from enterprise level) the position and the trend of Chinese sport industry (abbreviated as CSI below) in the national economy from the point of view of input and output before exploring the countermeasures needed. The purpose of doing so is to help people understand better the input-output properties of CSI.By such a research, the academic ideas and conclusions that make up this paper are mainly as follows:1. The concept of sports industry defined by this research is a collection of trades that provide a variety of services or goods for sports. Sports industry ranks as among the third industry in the whole Chinese national economy.2. The increments of value of CSI, seen from the contributions to Chinese GDP, is remarkably lower than that of other trades. And when it comes to its consumption relations with other trades, we can easily discover it relies more upon the second and third industries. At present its development is just at the period of quantity expansion. Doubtlessly, its growth, to some extent, will boom the growth of both the second and third industry.3. CSI is a trade of being high in added value and low in spurring. Therefore, we must be aware that those upper-reach trades cannot be expected to be spurred on by currently developing CSI. Its development caused by the pull of the national economy is also smaller than its motive force on the national economy.4. CSI is a typical trade of ultimate consumption, it should belong to a trade of consumption-pull and labor concentrated type.5. When there is a sticker price in the sports industry, its effects on the price index of consuming goods and the general price index is one of the smallest of all the trades in the whole national economy.6. Beijing sports industry is in closer and closer contact with majority of the second and third industries.7. The coefficient of effects made by Beijing sports industry shows an upward tendency, while its efficient of reaction is otherwise.8. The ultimate consumption has the greatest inducing effect upon the production of Beijing sports industry, next to it is export, and the least is capital investment.9. In the context of Chiness football property and the development of Chinese football, it is of great significance to discuss about the input-output of the professional football clubs, to analyze their economic gains and to improve their management by putting to use the input-output law, and also by taking realities of the clubs into full considerations.
