Abstract: | The paper aims to analyze the impact of China's postion in global value chain on innovation efficiency, we use New Classical Economic Theory to make assumptions. We use non competitive input output method to calculate 19 representative industries' positions in global value chain, then we calculate 19 representative industries' innovation efficiency, and it is decomposed into technical progress index, pure technical efficiency index, and scale efficiency index, and industrial differences can be observed in the decompostion. On the basis of empirical results, in the research and development stage, China's industries in global value chain have positive effect on the technological frontier, and it can widen gap between the whole level and technological frontier. In the production stage, China's industries in global value chain have negative effect on the technological frontier, and it can narrow gap between the whole level and technological frontier. |
