摘要: 服务贸易与货物贸易是否存在发展的失衡及其原因的解释一直是国际贸易领域争论的焦点。本文通过加入技术创新效率的外包模型,分析技术创新能力如何作为服务部门比较优势的来源决定价值链体系中制造环节和服务环节的分工,并导致服务贸易和货物贸易逆向发展的机理。实证结果发现:对不同收入和处于价值链不同地位的经济体,技术创新能力确实对生产者服务业的国际竞争力有着显著的正向影响。而生产者服务贸易和货物贸易发展的关系却受到收入水平和价值链地位的影响,高收入和处于价值链上游经济体的货物贸易和生产者服务贸易呈逆向发展关系,但是对中低收入和处于价值链下游的经济体来说,两者的逆向关系并不显著。一般来说全球价值链参与程度的上升会进一步提升经济体在生产者服务业领域内的比较优势,但是对于处于价值链上游的总部经济体来说,随着参与度上升其在该服务贸易领域的优势反而有可能被弱化。研究也同时从技术创新效率的角度对我国服务贸易发展的相对滞后给予一个合理的解释。

Abstract: The imbalance between service trade and goods trade and the explanation have always been one focus of controversy in the field of international trade. By using a join outsourcing model of technological innovation efficiency, the paper analyzes how technological innovation capacity determines division of labor in manufacturing and service sectors in the value chain system, which acts as a source of comparative advantage of service department, and the mechanism leading to reverse development of service trade and goods trade. Empirical results show, the technological innovation ability has a significantly positive effect on the international competitiveness of producer services for all economies with different status in the value chain and different income. But the relationship between producer service trade and goods trade development is affected by income level and the status of the value chain, high income economy trade in goods trade and producer services usually have reverse relationships, while in low and middle income and economy at the downstream of the value chain, the reverse relationship is not so significant. Generally speaking, higher participation in global value chain will further boost economies in producer service industry′s comparative advantage, but for headquarters economy, along with the rise in participation in the field of trade in services, the advantage may be weakened. At the same time, the study also gives a reasonable explanation for the relative lag of China′s service trade development from the perspective of technological innovation efficiency.
