"Digital Service Trade and Global Value Chain Division"
by Xia, Yan


Abstract
With Internet technology innovation and digital technology innovation constantly emerging, digital trade has become a typical feature of the current economic restructuring, and has also become a new driving force for countries to participate in the division of the global value chain. In promoting international economic and trade cooperation, economies need to strike a balance between full openness and the implementation of protective policies that limit openness. In addition, the homogeneity of regulatory regimes with multilateral/bilateral trading partners need to be taken into account. The existence of digital trade tariff barriers and non-tariff barriers to digital trade, such as restrictions on cross-border data flows, intellectual property infringements and the protection of personal data, will inevitably affect the system of global value chain division. This paper examines the impact of digital trade barriers on global value chain division. This paper constructs a regulatory homogenisation network for digital service trade, which the overall structural characteristics of the network are analysed. Second, this paper theoretically clarifies the channels through which regulatory homogenization affects exports, and combines mechanism testing and heterogeneity testing to explore the specific characteristics of how regulatory homogenization intensity affects the scale of digital service exports. According to the regulatory homogenization network analysis, economies that are heavily involved in digital trade in services tend to optimise and simplify existing trading partnerships. Third, this study constructs a global general equilibrium model and simulates the regulatory homogenisation partnerships in digital trade in services by quantifying the impact of digital trade barriers on member parties and constructing the impact channels of rule changes on the GTAP model in two dimensions of trade costs and production efficiency.
