This study also tests this hypothesis by using panel dat China from 2000 to 2014. The implications of this study are of significance for China to further promote the development of manufacturing and the value chains.

摘要： 本文从需求质量(消费升级)和需求数量(市场规模)两个层面深入讨论本地市场需求蕴含的推动制造业价值链攀升的动力机制,提出本地消费升级和市场规模扩张均能诱发全球价值链中高端环节向本地转移,从而推动价值链攀升的理论假说,并利用2000~2014年中国16个制造业行业的面板数据对该理论假说进行验证。本文的研究结论对中国进一步推动制造业发展、完善价值链体系具有一定的借鉴意义。
