Abstract

Based on the world input-output tables from 1995 to 2011, this paper calculated the international division of China’s shipping business in the global value chain using GVCI method. Research shows that the domestic added value of China’s shipping business from 1995 to 2011 was wavelike rising on the whole. From 1995 to 1999, China’s position of shipping business was lower in the level of international trade, including domestic and foreign added value. From 2001 to 2007, the proportion of the domestic added value increased gradually, then fell sharply resulted from the financial crisis in 2008 and the rebounded from 2009 to 2010. International comparison shows that China’s shipping business rises in the absolute amount of domestic value added, but it still lower in the global value chain. It is mainly manifested that China’s shipping business development of domestic need is higher but lack of high-end shipping services and transformation from traditional industry to modern industry. China’s shipping business has to strengthen the supporting infrastructure, fully grasp the policy opportunities and guide shipping business shift from labor-intensive industries to knowledge industries through technical innovation to continuously enhance the status of the international division.
