The Impact of Global Value Chains on Regional Employment——An Empirical Study Based on Chinese Cities
Scientific assessment of the impact of embedding in the global value chain on regional employment can help achieve coordinated development of regional employment.This article empirically tests the regional employment effect embedded in the global value chain at the urban level by construct-ing two measurement indicators:the participation degree of the city's global value chain and the partici-pation position of the city's global value chain.The study found that the deepening of participation in ur-ban global value chains did not have a promoting effect on employment,while the increase in participa-tion in urban global value chains significantly promoted employment.This conclusion passed endogene-ity and robustness tests.The impact of urban integration into the global value chain on employment var-ies depending on the region and type of urban resources in which the city is located.The results of the dynamic evolution of employment growth rate indicate that the impact of global value chain participa-tion on urban employment in the central and western regions shows a dynamic evolution process of first inhibiting,then promoting,and then inhibiting over time,while the promoting effect on urban employ-ment in the eastern region is relatively stable.Finally,this article finds that the location of urban global value chain participation has a non-linear impact on employment.
