An Empirical Study on China's Service Trade Competitiveness——Based on the Diamond Model

摘要

Based on sample data from 1982 to 2009, the author collects service trade competitiveness indexes as variables explained by means of the principal component analysis, using the Diamond Model to conduct an empirical study on China's service trade competitiveness. The result shows that high-level production factors are the most important factors in enhancing national service trade competitiveness, while the institutional factors are less important.
