Agricultural Global Value Chain Embedment,Industrial Integration and Industrial Structure Transformation and Upgrading:Based on Empirical Evidence From 60 Countries From 2007 to 2019
The Agricultural Global Value Chain(AGVC)serves as a conduit for global international division of labor,signifi-cantly impacting the modern industrial systems and structural transformation of countries.Building upon a theoretical model promoting industrial structural transformation,this study employs panel data from 60 countries spanning 2007-2019 to exam-ine the impact and mechanisms of AGVC integration on industrial structural transformation.The findings reveal:(1)AGVC integration,facilitated through agricultural industrialization and servicization,promotes the rationalization and advancement of industrial structures,with higher AGVC participation associated with faster transforma-tions;(2)Upstream AGVC integration notably fosters structural advancement and rationalization,while downstream integra-tion predominantly affects structural rationalization,with insignificant impact on structural advancement;(3)AGVC integra-tion has a significant positive influence on structural rationalization and advancement in developing countries,whereas in de-veloped countries,it primarily drives structural advancement through agricultural servicization.Looking forward,based on China's new development paradigm and the stage of industrial structural development,it is imperative to steadfastly construct a dual-cycle development strategy with domestic circulation as the main focus.This aims to establish a high-level pattern for the new development of agricultural openness,accelerate technological innovation and in-ternational cooperation in the agricultural sector,enhance international market competitiveness,and persist in the dual-drive approach of agricultural industrialization and servicization to propel industrial structural transformation and upgrading.
