| With the deepening of economic globalization,the Global Value Chain(GVC)has gradually become an important link connecting the world economy.Chinese manufacturing industry has been embedded in GVC by the comparative advantages of labor force and resources,and its production scale has been continuously expanded,becoming a "world-class manufacturing factory".The deepening degree of division of labor promotes the rapid development of manufacturing industry,but also causes serious consumption of resources and environmental pollution.In 2016,Chinese environmental performance ranked 109 th among the180 countries and regions,far lower than developed countries.With the development of the economy,the cost of production factors such as labor and resources are also increasing,the developed countries have begun to transfer their industries to other developing countries.The model of development driven by labor and resources is losing its advantages.A variety of problems at home and abroad continue to squeeze the development room.The green transformation development of the manufacturing industry may be the way to break the situation.Green total factor productivity(GTFP)is an indicator to measure the green development of economy.The key to realize the green development of Chinese manufacturing industry is to improve the green total factor productivity.Therefore,whether the embedded value chain division of labor has an impact on the green total factor productivity of Chinese manufacturing industry,and what kind of impact is the core issue of this thesis.Focusing on the above issues,this thesis firstly sorts out the research reviews and relevant theories related to GTFP and GVC.Secondly,we examine GVC and GTFP of manufacturing industry.Based on the data from the Global Value Chain Database released by the University of International Business and Economics(UIBE),this thesis calculates the forward and backward participation and division status of Chinese manufacturing industry in the GVC from 2000 to 2014.It is found that the division status of Chinese manufacturing industry in the GVC is still in the downstream link,and the backward participation is always higher than the forward participation.Based on available statistical data,it measures GTFP for double-digit manufacturing industries from 2004 to 2015 by the SBM-GML model.It finds that GTFP of the overall manufacturing improved within the scope of the study,and the growth was mainly pulled by technological progress.The development of GTFP in subdivided industries is different.Based on empirical tests,this thesis explores the impact of value chain embeddedness on GTFP,drawing the following conclusions:(1)The status in value chain has a significant positive effect on green total factor productivity in manufacturing;the foreign direct investment and labor quality play a role in promoting GTFP.(2)The promotion effect of backward embedding on GTFP is slightly higher than that of forward embedding.In the backward embedding model,the quality of labor force promotes the GTFP,while the energy consumption structure hinders it.The ownership structure and foreign direct investment did not have a significant effect.(3)By constructing a mediation effect model,this thesis explores the mechanism of action,and finds that structure effect and technology effect are the ways that value chain embeddedness affects green total factor productivity.According to the green production productivity,the value chain division of labor and empirical research results,this thesis puts forward some suggestions from the aspects of cultivating high-quality human capital,creating a good business environment,and strengthening the mode of economic cooperation,so as to realize the green development of manufacturing industry in the context of global value chain embedding. |
