Input Servitization In Manufacturing And Exporters' Markup:Evidence From Chinese Firms

With the breakthrough and widespread popularization of Internet,information and communication technology,the input of service elements occupies more and more important position in manufacturing activities,and the global manufacturing industry presents the trend of transformation from "production manufacturing industry" to "servitized manufacturing industry".At the same time,China's manufacturing industry is "big but not strong",at the low end of the global value chain,the technology content and domestic added value of export products is low,the quality of export products is low,so China's manufacturing industry urgently needs to upgrade,access to dynamic competitive advantage.Will input servitization in manufacturing enhance the competitiveness of China's manufacturing industryt?Taking markup as the index to measure the competitiveness of manufacturing industry,this paper uses the enterprise panel data to investigate the influence of input servitization in manufacturing on the markup of Chinese export enterprises and its mechanism.In this paper,the is incorporated into the extended Melitz and Ottaviano(2008)model,and the influence of input servitization in manufacturing on the markup of export enterprises and its mechanism are analyzed,and the improvement of the input servitization is improved by promoting product quality upgrading and then increasing the markup of export enterprise.On this basis,this paper use the matching data of the world input-output table,Chinese industrial enterprise data and Customs import and export data to carry on the empirical research on the relationship between input servitization in manufacturing and the markup of export enterprises,and confirms the theoretical proposition of this paper.The article is made up of seven parts.The 1th part is the introduction,introducing the relevant background of the research problem,expounds its research significance,grasps the full text research idea and the method,and puts forward the innovation point and the deficiency of this article.The 2nd part is the literature review,combing the manufacturing industry input service and the enterprise bonus rate related literature respectively.The 3rd part is the theoretical mechanism analysis,we introduce the endogenous quality selection model on the basis of the Melitz and Ottaviano model,and introduce the input servitization in manufacturing into the enterprise cost function,and reveal the influence mechanism of the manufacturing input service on the markup of the export enterprises,thus putting forward the theoretical proposition.The 4th part is the measurement of input servitization in manufacturing and the markup of export enterprises.The input-output table in WIOD database is used to calculate the degree of input servitization in manufacturing industries,and the markup of enterprises is calculated by using the database of Chinese industrial enterprises.The 5th part is an empirical study on the markup of input servitization to Chinese export enterprises,including benchmark regression,endogenous analysis,robustness test and heterogeneity analysis.The 6th part is the mechanism test,constructs the intermediary effect model,carries on the empirical test to the manufacturing industry input servitization influence channel that affects the markup of Chinese export enterprise,thus validates the theory proposition.The 7th part is conclusion and policy suggestion,summarizing the main conclusion,getting the corresponding policy enlightenment.Through the analysis of theory and experience,the main conclusion of this paper is 1.Input servitization in manufacturing is beneficial to enhance the markup of export enterprises,and input servitization has a positive effect on the markup through the effect of product quality upgrading.2.Input servitization in manufacturing has a particularly significant impact on the markup in labor-intensive industries,competitive industries,non-state-owned enterprises,exit enterprises and continuing export enterprises.3.The impact of input servitization in manufacturing on the markup of export enterprises decreases with the markup of enterprise increases.5.Compared with the outsourcing of onshore services,offshore service outsourcing can promote the markup of Chinese export enterprises.5.By constructing the intermediary effect model,we test the mechanism of the action between the two taking product quality as the intermediary variable.That is,the input servitization in manufacturing has a positive effect on the markup through the product quality upgrading effect.The conclusion of this paper provides useful policy enlightenment for the development of service-oriented manufacturing and the improvement of the increase rate of export enterprises in China.
