从双边比较优势网络看欧洲一体化
Understanding European Integration with Bipartite Networks of Comparative Advantage
摘要:
欧洲共同市场一体化的核心目标是趋同和经济增长,但这些目标受到冗余和价值链不对称的阻碍。挑战在于如何协调劳动分工以实现全球竞争力,同时弥合欧盟各国的生产率差异。我们开发了一个二分网络的方法来跟踪成对的共同专业化,通过应用显示比较优势方法,欧盟15国和中欧和东欧(CEE)内部和之间。这种方法在行业和国家层面评估欧盟的冗余和劳动分工。我们发现中欧和东欧国家之间的重大共同专业化,但欧盟15国和中欧和东欧之间的分化专业化。加入欧盟后与其他中东欧国家共同专业化的中东欧行业的生产率提高,而中东欧和欧盟15国之间的共同专业化与生产率增长的关系较小。这些结果表明,部门专业化分工可以导致欧盟15国和中东欧国家之间的生产力趋同。
英文摘要:
Core objectives of European common market integration are convergence and economic growth, but these are hampered by redundancy, and value chain asymmetries. The challenge is how to harmonize labor division to reach global competitiveness, meanwhile bridging productivity differences across the EU. We develop a bipartite network approach to trace pairwise co-specialization, by applying the Revealed Comparative Advantage method, within and between EU15 and Central and Eastern European (CEE). This approach assesses redundancies and division of labor in the EU at the level of industries and countries. We find significant co-specialization among CEE countries but a diverging specialization between EU15 and CEE. Productivity increases in those CEE industries that have co-specialized with other CEE countries after EU accession, while co-specialization across CEE and EU15 countries is less related to productivity growth. These results show that a division of sectoral specialization can lead to productivity convergence between EU15 and CEE countries.
