Introduction Chinas global current account surplus equaled 9% of Chinese GDP in 2006 and 11% of GDP in 2007.The

5、 Chinese government, in its 2006?10 five-year plan, acknowledged the need to rebalance its economy. Many have argued that an appreciation of the RMB would help to achieve this goal. How would an appreciation of the RMB affect Chinas trade As the IMF 2005 discusses, few studies report the responsiven

Ordinary exports are produced primarily using domestic inputs. Processed exports are produced through intricate pr

Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and multinational corporations MNCs in ASEAN export sophisticated technology-intensive intermediate goods and capital goods to China for assembly by lower-skilled workers. The finished products are then

11、exported throughout the world. These processed exports accounted for 53% of Chinas total exports in 2006 Because of these trading networks, Chinese value-added in processed exports is smaller than the value of intermediate goods imported from other primarily Asian countries. Thus one would not expec

Results obtained using generalized method of moments techniques indicate that a joint appreciation would significantly reduce Chinas exports while a uni

It constructs a single integrated exchange rate variable to measure changes in the relative foreign currency costs not just of Chinas value-added but of Chinas entire output of processed exports. It also assum

The results indicate that if the RMB appreciated by 10% against importing countries then ordinary exports would decline in the long run by almost 12%. The effect on p

If the RMB appreciated by 10% against importing countries and exchange rates in the rest of East Asia remained the same then processed exports would fall by 4%. If the RMB remained unchanged but the rest of East As

If the goal of an RMB appreciation is to resolve imbalances between China and the rest of the world especially the US and Europe, a reduction in ordinary exports would not be helpful. A reduction in ordinary exports from China to the rest

20、 of the world would be replaced by an increase in labor-intensive exports from other countries on lower rungs of the ladder of comparative advantage An appreciation in the rest of East Asia alone would also be insufficient to cause a large decline in processed exports. A generalized appreciation in

21、both China and the rest of the region would be necessary to produce a large drop in the export of capital-intensive, technologically-sophisticated processed exports. Thus a generalized appreciation would be needed to switch expenditures towards US and European goods and rebalance world trade. 2. Chi

22、nas Position in the Global Supply Chain East Asia is characterized by intricate production and distribution relationships, constituting part of a global triangular trading network. Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and MNCs located in ASEAN produce sophisticated technology-intensive intermediate goods and

23、 capital goods and ship them to China for assembly by lower-skilled workers. The finished products are then exported throughout the world. These production and distribution networks have promoted economic efficiency and helped to make East Asia as a whole not just China a major manufacturing center.

24、 While networks are common in other parts of the world e.g. parts and components exported from the US for assembly in Mexico, fragmentation in East Asia is particularly elaborate and well-developed. It involves complicated combinations of intra-firm trade, arms-length transactions, and outsourcing K

These trade?FDI linkages have led to production?distribution networks in East Asia that can be cha

27、h and the North e.g. between two differentiated types of automobiles. As Fukao et al. 2002 and Yi 2003 discuss, the production processes of an industry e.g. the electronics industry can be split into fragmented production blocks that are located in different countries and the new VIIT is essentially

Chinas surplus with the US increased from $153 billion to $243 billion: $243 billion far exceeds Chinas overall 2006 trad

Conclusion Chinas export growth and penetration have been remarkable.While China was basically a closed economy 30 years ago, it is now the leading exporter to

32、 Japan, the second leading exporter to Europe, and the third leading exporter to the US. This surge in exports has been accompanied by growing trade imbalances between China and the rest of the world.

38、12%和加工品的出口不少于4%。所有其他亚洲国家货币升值10%将会减少加工贸易的6%。人民币升值10%,整个亚洲地区会减少加工品出口的10%。从而普通加工产品趋向于更简单,而劳动密集型产品出口将会更精细复杂,更会是资本密集型产品。亚洲地区的广义升值会产生更多高附加值的产品相对于美国及欧洲的货物,更有助于解决全球经济的不平衡,而不是仅仅人民币或者其他亚洲货币的升值呼声。 1 简介 2006年中国的全球经常账户盈余为国内生产总值(GDP)的9%,是2007年国内生产总值的(GDP)的11%。中国政府,在2006-2010年这份五年计划,承认需要调整其经济实力。许多人争辩人民币升值将有助于达成这一目

39、标。人民币升值的又将如何影响到中国的贸易? 根据国际货币基金组织2005的讨论,一些研究报告反应出了中国的出口和进口汇率变化。曼恩和帕克2005,使用动态规格数据库和分析贸易流量,报告说,美国从中国进口商品的价格弹性是无法确定的,而美国对中国输出的商品是无统计意义的。邵柏克2006, 用约翰森母机MLE和技术动态OLS技术, 认为长期的实际汇率与中国的出口和美国的进口率系数约等于统一。张五常等人(2007年),使用动态OLS方法,发现人民币升值的增加美国对中国的出口,但不影响到中国的出口到美国。辛德勒,马奎斯2007,使用一个自回归分布滞后模型和中国股票市场在世界贸易中,报告说,人民币升值10

40、%将降低中国占世界出口的0.5个百分点,中国占世界进口10%个百分点。 马奎斯,辛德勒2007发现把中国贸易分解为普通贸易、加工贸易产生更好的评估。主要生产使用普通出口国内的投入。加工品的出口产生复杂的生产和经销网络通过集中在东亚国家。日本、韩国、台湾和跨国公司的技术对东盟出口的货物中间产品和中国雇佣低技能工人总资本。成品然后出口世界各地。这些加工品的出口占中国出口总额百分之五十三的2006年的三倍。 因为这些交易网络,中国增值后的加工品的出口小于中间产品的价值进口主要是亚洲地区的国家。因此,人们不指望有单侧人民币升值对国家出口采购最终影响的进口价格进口国的币值高达名义升值对亚洲货币相对于其他

41、国家购买最终出口。 拉赫曼,邵柏克2007比较影响中国出口的单方面的人民币升值步伐和共同升值在供应链国家对国家采购加工品的出口。利用广义的方法进行了试验,结果表明,联合时刻技术显著地降低升值,中国的出口而单方面的升值。拉赫曼,邵柏克的论文表示,假设你可以考虑换双方的人民币汇率举办贸易加权汇率,虽然这是可能的,用数学方法是不可能考虑到经济这些密切因素的。 结果表明,如果人民币升值10%会攻击到进口国,从长远来看,减少将近12%。加工品的出口的影响取决于汇率发生了什么事会在其它亚洲地区。如果人民币升值10%将攻击进口国而在其他东亚的汇率保持不变,然后加工品的出口将会下跌4%。如果人民币保持不变,而

42、其余10%东亚对国家购买成品然后加工品的出口将下降6%。如果人民币和其他东亚货币升值10%然后加工品的出口就会下降10%。 因此,人民币升值的主要就将影响一般出口,初级产品、劳动密集型商品如玩具和纺织品。如果人民币升值的目标是为解决中国和世界其他地区特别是美国和欧洲之间的不平衡,而对减少普通的出口将不会有帮助。减少普通的出口从中国出口到世界的其它地方的普通产品减少,来自其他国家的社会等级较低有比较优势的劳动密集型产品增加。 在对其他东亚地区也就不足导致大量加工品出口的减少。中国和其他的该地区将有必要批量生产出资本密集型的出口,降低复杂的加工品的出口。因此需要广义升值来对美国及欧洲开关支出商品和

43、平衡世界贸易。 2中国的立场在全球供应链 东亚的特点是生产和分配关系错综复杂,构成的一部分的一个全球性三角贸易网络。日本、韩国、台湾、与跨国公司技术密集型制造复杂的东盟位于中间产品和资本品和它们运往中国雇佣低技能工人总成。成品然后出口世界各地。本生产配送网络促进了经济效率和帮助使东亚全部不仅是中国主要生产中心。 而普通的世界的其他地方例如零部件和美国出口的会中,碎片墨西哥在东亚特别精细,发展得很好。它涉及到复杂的组合贸易,手臂联储会的交易外包木村和安藤,2005 这些网络允许公司利用比较优势的生产工序和长时间的攻击分配以这种方式形成生产块整个亚洲。这些trade-FDI联系已经导致亚洲东部之生

44、产配送网络特征为垂直产业内贸易垂直产业内贸易。两方面的不同垂直产业内贸易交换成品传统贸易理论强调对垂直产业内贸易南方和北方之间如在资本品和服饰与水平产业内贸易和北部之间的北例如在两个分化类型的汽车。作为Fukao孙俐。2002和易建联2003讨论,生产过程例如一个行业。电子工业可以被分成支离破碎的石块,是生产位于不同的国家和新垂直产业内贸易是实质上是基于不同的生产要素禀赋块碎片,新兴发展中国家之间,和发达国家在该地区。 关颖杉2006认为,因为转口贸易、进口数据比出口数据更加精确当中国公司经香港转运货物,中国政府经常不知道最终目的地的货物。因此,作为记录这些货物出口香港在另一方面,当在货物到达

45、他们的最终目的地,记录货物进口国来自中国。关颖杉因此提倡采用进口的数据来自贸易伙伴,计算双边贸易,使用这个方法,中国的贸易顺差在2006年增加与欧洲的价值7600亿至93亿美元。因此,对中国经济调整,它必须减少与欧洲的贸易顺差,特别是美国。 3 结论 中国的出口增长和渗透令人难以置信而中国基本上就是个闭关自守经济30年前,现在主要出口日本、第二大出口商欧洲,第三大出口国到美国。 结果表明,人民币汇率问题为中国的普通的出口比中国加工品的出口10%的单方面的升值人民币对国家出口采购决赛普通的出口减少将近12%及其加工品的出口4%人民币升值10%,其它主要是东亚供应链国家对国家出口采购最后不伴随增加在人民币会减少加工品的出口6%。10%的联合对中国和其他供应链国家将减少加工品的出口10%。 普通的出口会更简单、劳动密集型的物品而加工品的出口往往是复杂、高科技产品在普通减少出口,中国将会被增加来自其他国家的劳动密集型出口社会等级阶梯上较低的比较优势降低加工品的出口,另一方面,将开关支出对美国和欧洲的货物。因此,在东亚货币?解需要减少中国巨额的顺差与美国和欧洲,同时平衡世界贸易。
