서비스업 국제무역특화 패턴과 경제성장간의 상관관계에 대한 연구: OECD국가의 생산성향상효과를 중심으로

초록

Does an international specialization oriented toward producer services, which show high technological potential and demand growth, promote economic growth? By using panel GMM estimation, this paper seeks to answer such question. Three indicators of international specialization are considered: export ratio, TSI and RCA, and are introduced as explanatory variables in growth regression for OECD 12 countries over 1987-2002. The results show that the specialization oriented toward producer services may be beneficial to growth according to the national level of technology. The international specialization in producer services is beneficial to growth only when a country is specialized in high technology intensive producer service activities.
