本文运用显示性比较优势指数(RCA)分析了服务业竞争力,研究表明中国服务产业竞争力在全球范围内都相对较低。本文首次将政府规模和法治水平这个制度因素纳入分析框架,分析其对服务产业国际竞争力的影响。基于中国、印度和OECD国家2004-2009年跨国面板数据的实证分析表明,政府规模与服务业国际竞争力正相关,但统计上并不显著;法治水平与服务业国际竞争力显著正相关。此外,人均收入对服务业的国际竞争力有显著正向影响,而一国货物出口能力则对其服务业国际竞争力有显著的负向影响。
This paper uses Revealed Comparative Advantage Index (RCA) to analyze the international and inter - industry competitiveness of services sector. It is found that China's service industries are not as competitive as that of other countries. This paper studies the relationship between the institutional factors such as size of government and rule of law. Based on the cross - country data of China, India and OCED countries in 2004 - 2009, the empirical studies show that the size of government has positive correlation with service sectors international competitiveness, but not statistically significant; the rule of law has a significant impact on the service industry. In addition, the per capita income influence positively on the competitiveness of the service sector, but the ability of a country's exports of goods has a significant negative impact on the international competitiveness of its service sector.
