Research On The Impact Of Trade In Producer Service To The International Competitiveness Of Manufacturing

The connotation and extension of producer services were defined in this paper. And then analyze the most important five features of trade in producer services which are intensive knowledge and technology, industry association, spatial separability, externalization, the complexity and particularity of laws involved in. Trade in producer services influence international competitiveness of manufacturing industry by supply and demand. From perspective of the supply, Trade in producer services can speed up the upgrade of the industrial structure and improve the total factor productivity by technical spillover effects, human capital accumulation effect, scale effect and the system effect.And then they increase total output, improve the international competitiveness of the manufacturing industry. From perspective of the demand, trade in producer services can promote the consumption and investment to influence aggregate demand, thereby enhancing the international competitiveness of the manufacturing industry.Based on theoretical analysis, this paper analyze current analyze situation of trade in producer services and international competitiveness of the manufacturing sectors by data in recent years and establish econometric model to study the influences of trade in producer services on the international competitiveness of the manufacturing sector. The results indicate that foreign direct investment in producer services, import of insurance and business services, promotes the international competitiveness of chemicals and related products, textile products, rubber and mineral products, machinery and transport equipment. Import of communication service does not promote them. And then this paper study the influences of import of financial services, consultation, computer and information, royalties and license fees, advertising campaign which are knowledge and technology-intensive on the international competitiveness of the manufacturing industry, do the mediator effect test of industrial structure and total factor productivity. The results show that import of financial services, consultation, computer and information, royalties and license fees, advertising campaign promotes the international competitiveness of the manufacturing industry; the mediator effect test of total factor productivity is significant; the mediator effect test of the upgrade of industrial structure is not significant. Aiming at the above mentioned problem, this paper this paper raises concrete countermeasures.
