Research On The Measurement And Influencing Factors Of The International Division Of Labor In The Service Industr

With the growing role of service sector in the world economy,it is vital to accurately assess the role of service industry in the division of labor in the global value chain.Through measuring and comparing the service trade results under traditional statistical standard and the Ti VA statistical standard,the paper demonstrates that the service trade results of sample countries under the traditional statistical standard do not accurately reflect the status and role of a country in the international service trade.According to the Ti VA trade statistics standard,the trade volume of service industry and subsector of sample countries(regions)showed an increasing trend from 2000 to 2018,and the United States always had an absolute advantage.Developing economies such as China and India have seen their service trade volume exceed that of some developed economies ones.From the perspective of trade structure,the service trade structure of each country is different.Proposed by Koopman,the paper used two indicators which are "GVC position index" and "GVC participation index" to conduct a comparative analysis of 23 main countries.After the analysis,following conclusions are raised:(1)The overall GVC position index of service industry in countries is relatively stable and generally shows a rise.(2)Developed economies like the United States have had the dominant status in the global supply chain in capital,knowledge-intensive services and public service,while developed countries such as China and Brazil have been developing rapidly,ranking higher in the GVC division of knowledge intensive services and public intensive services respectively.(3)No strong relationship between "GVC position index" and "GVC participation index".(4)The GVC position index of China’s service industry and subsector service industry exhibit an upward trend,meanwhile,the backward GVC participation is lower than the forward GVC participation in China’s service industry.Finally,Porter’s diamond model and used fixed panel model are adopted by this paper to test the elements influencing the GVC position of service industries in 54 countries.The findings indicated that: service industry development level,foreign direct investment and GDP per capita can significantly improve the international division of labor status of the service industry for all economic samples.From different economic standpoints,industrialization on developed and developing economies is different.From service industry segmentation standpoints,the influence factor of service industry development level,capitalization level,foreign direct investment and service trade are different to improve the international division of labor.Based on the above analysis results,this paper proposes that,to further enhance the division of labor status of service industry,it is essential to actively engage in the global value chain and enhance the statistical system and regulations;introducing and utilizing foreign investment and augmenting its effectiveness;optimizing the service industry’s industrial structure and fostering the industry’s unified growth;stimulating economic growth and augmenting the consumption of citizens.
