Human Capital:Net Exporter or Net Importer?——Based on the Analysis of Employment Embodied in China's International Trade

Abstract

Abstract: International trade offers the opportunity for human capital flow across national borders. China is the world's second largest trading nation and most populous nation, and its economic development benefits significant from an abundance of cheap labors. Firstly, this paper presents a new model, called input-occupancy-output model of the non-competitive imports type capturing China's processing exports with classified employment. Secondly, based on this model, this paper proposes the concept and calculation formula of employ-ment embodied in international trade. Thirdly, this paper calculates the human capital embodied in import, export and its structure in 2007.

Key words: embodied employment, international trade, input-occupancy-output technology
