Abstract
For the Belt and Road Initiative, “extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits” is the basic principle, and the competitiveness heterogeneity is an important condition for cooperation. Based on the complex network theory, this paper constructs a complex network model of global value chain (GVC) division of labor system by using the Multi-Regional Input-output (MRIO) table, and reveals the variation trend of competitiveness of industrial sectors and economies on the GVC network by the National Competitive Advantage Index (NCAI). The results verify the effectiveness of BRI, and help countries along the B&R route to explore their comparative advantages and cooperation prospects with other countries. The research also provides a direction and reference for China to better implement the Initiative.
Highlights
Complex and profound changes are taking place in the world
Compared with the evaluation system proposed by World Economic Forum (WEF), the National Competitive Advantage Index (NCAI) proposed in this paper focuses on analyzing the competitive advantages of countries/industries in the global production network
The Mfuzz package was originally developed as a clustering method for processing gene expression or protein expression profile data, the core algorithm is based on Fuzzy C-Means Clustering (FCM) [60, 61]
Summary
Complex and profound changes are taking place in the world. The underlying impact of the international financial crisis keeps emerging; the world economy is recovering slowly, and global development is uneven; the international trade and investment landscape and rules for multilateral trade and investment are undergoing major adjustments; and countries still face big challenges to their development. The production systems of various countries and regions in the world have maintained relative independence for a long period of time. With the continuous development of global economic integration, a global economic system has been established through the increasingly frequent trade exchanges among countries and regions. The industrial value chains of different subsystems are interconnected, together forming the global value chain (GVC) network, an organic whole with specific functions. The research on GVC network has been developing rapidly, and has been gradually extended from enterprise management level to industrial and national level. GVC network can reflect the topology of the global economic system, and be highly applicable
