Vertical Specialization And Its Impact On Internationa Competitiveness Of Manufacturing Industry In China

After World War II, economic globalization to become a prominent feature of economic development .The extent of the deepening international division of labor in economic globalization has become a prominent feature. The deepening of international division of labor and economic ties to countries increasing. This phenomenon was Hummels (2001) referred to as - the vertical specialization.Vertical Specialization of international production is an important form of participation in the international division of labor. Vertical Specialization in China's industrial competitiveness will have some impact. This is the main vertical specialization, the impact of competitiveness of manufacturing industry.Based on the above background, the paper is divided into five parts, the structure is as follows:Part I: Papers in the preamble. Including: paper background, significance, the vertical specialization, industrial competitiveness, and vertical specialization on Industrial Competitiveness of the literature summary and review. Finally, the research paper approach to be taken.Part II: Vertical Specialization on Industrial Competitiveness Analysis of the mechanism. Mainly from economies of scale theory, theory of comparative advantage, technological progress, these three theories to explain in detail.Part III: Status of vertical specialization. In this section will calculate the vertical Chinese manufacturing sub-industry specialization, and other countries in the extent of vertical specialization, and to do comparative analysis. Part IV: China Manufacturing Competitiveness Analysis. Indicators measure the competitiveness of manufacturing industry was selected in this trade competition index. By calculating the trade competitiveness index, to measure the competitiveness of the manufacturing sector level and form.Part V: An Empirical Analysis, building econometric models. Proof of Vertical Specialization on the competitiveness of the manufacturing sector has a positive, and the different impact of different industries.Part VI: According to the empirical analysis, presented the recommendations to improve industrial competitiveness...
