CHEN Wen, LI Qiang:Analysis on the Scale of China's Export in the Global Value Chain——Based on Value Added Trade Accounting Method

Abstract：The conventional trade statistics cannot answer the question of “who produces for whom” and exaggerates China's trade situation. Based on the new value added trade accounting method developed by OECD and WTO, this paper calculates the export and import scales for “trade in value added”(goods and service) in China and export scale of each industry respectively by using 1995-2009 international input-output tables. This paper finds that conventional trade statistics not only overestimates the scale of China's exports and import, but also seriously distorts the exports of various industries.

Key words： Trade in Value Added   International Input-Output Tables   Global Value Chain   Export in Value Added   Import in Value Added
