“…4 This suggests that developing countries with low productivity in their own producer services sector can reverse this adverse situation by importing producer services. Using EU data, Guerrieri and Meliciani (2005) found that imports of producer services help manufacturing accumulate knowledge. Macpherson (2008) found that outsourcing of producer services contributes to local manufacturing development.…”

Imported producer services play a vital role in the continued development of the industrialized economies. Countries like the U.S., UK, Japan, Germany, etc., utilize imported scientific research to help domestic manufacturing. Most developing nations are in the early stages of adopting this strategy, China is no exception. Among the four mega metropolitans (Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin and Chongqing) in China, Shanghai is the most advanced in the area of producer services; however, still lacking significantly behind Hong Kong and Singapore. The objective of this study is to examine whether imported producer services have been able to improve the manufacturing in Shanghai. We employ the input-output method to measure the effects of imported producer services on Shanghai manufacturing. Our findings are disappointing. Though Shanghai’s imported producer services continue to rise, the high-end knowledge-based producer services are severely lacking; and, to make matters worse, the trend is downwards and thus the gap with its advanced neighboring economies is ever widening. If Shanghai is to achieve the lofty goal of becoming an international financial service hub, there remains much work to be done. The Shanghai government, indeed the Chinese government, needs to take more conservative actions towards achieving this objective rather than just to pay lip service.

“…La disponibilidad de capital humano es un segundo factor determinante de las decisiones de deslocalización y de la ied vinculada (Liu, Feils y Scholnick, 2011;Doh, Bunyaratavej y Hahn, 2008), como también de las exportaciones de servicios (Guerrieri y Meliciani, 2005;Nyahoho, 2010;Arora y Bagde, 2011). Goswami y otros (2012) encuentran que el capital humano afecta positivamente a las exportaciones de servicios y que el retorno a la inversión educativa es superior en los países en desarrollo.…”

La competitividad de América Latina en el comercio de servicios basados en el conocimiento Andrés López, Andrés Niembro y Daniela Ramos RESUMENEn este trabajo se presenta un análisis dinámico de la competitividad de América Latina en los "servicios intensivos en conocimiento" (sic), utilizando una metodología del estilo Tradecan -desarrollada por la Comisión Económica para América Latina y el Caribe (cepal)-para evaluar la competitividad de un país mediante sus exportaciones a los mercados de mayor crecimiento, pero aplicada principalmente al comercio de bienes.Los resultados sugieren que si bien varios países latinoamericanos avanzaron en los segmentos de los sic y muestran ventajas comparativas positivas, existe aún un bajo porcentaje de "estrellas nacientes" (sectores dinámicos donde se gana participación de mercado) y un relativamente alto nivel de "oportunidades perdidas" (sectores dinámicos donde se pierde peso), lo que se corresponde con las debilidades competitivas de la región y plantea la necesidad de políticas para potenciar los factores aventajados y remover los obstáculos que traban una mejor inserción en los mercados de los sic.

“…As a determiner for competitiveness labor cost is the contraversial field. Studies about the effect of the cost of labour on the international competitiveness was performed by Fagerberg (1988), Jorgenson and Kuroda (1991), Guerrieri and Meliciani (2005). As a result of these studies, it was found out that the high price level in the labor costs meant high productivity and qualified labour employment.…”
