Abstract:

By compiling an international input-output model which includes the domestic inter-provincial input-output model, this paper proposes a uniform framework of decomposition of external trade (including international export and inter-provincial export) by expanding the WWZ decomposition method of trade in value added. Based on this framework, this paper investigates the participation of domestic provinces in global value chains and domestic value chain. According to the empirical result, the paper draws the following conclusions:the regional specialization in China is characterized by "dumbbell-shaped"; the spillover effect of provincial international export is posi-tively correlated with its DVC participation; the three economic circles (Jing Jin Ji Area, Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta) have significant spillover effects on the surrounding areas; andthe VS index and per capita show an "inverse U" relationship.

Key words: domestic value chain, decomposition of inter-provincial trade in value added, multiregional input-output tables of China
