HİZMET SEKTÖRLERİ İMALAT SEKTÖRÜNÜN KÜRESEL DEĞER ZİNCİRİNE KATILIMINA FAYDA SAĞLAR MI?

Abstract

Bilgi ve iletişim teknolojileri, lojistik ve finans gibi hizmetler, ülkeler arasında dağınık üretim aşamalarının koordinasyonunda kritik ve giderek artan bir rol oynamaktadır. Hizmet sektörleri, ülkelerin küresel değer zincirlerine daha kolay entegre olmalarını ve uluslararası üretim ağları içinde daha etkin bir şekilde faaliyet göstermelerini sağlayarak, verimlilik artışlarını, ekonomik büyümeyi ve küresel değer zincirlerine daha fazla katılımı desteklemektedir. Bu nedenle, hizmet sektörlerinin ülkelerin küresel değer zincirlerine katılımını şekillendirmede kilit bir rol oynaması beklenmektedir. Bu çalışma, hizmet sektörlerinin payının imalat sektörünün küresel değer zincirlerine (KDZ) katılımı üzerindeki etkilerini incelemektedir. Çalışma ayrıca bu etkinin heterojenliğini araştırmakta ve 1990-2023 dönemi için 35 gelişmiş ve 138 gelişmekte olan ülkeyi ayrı ayrı analiz etmektedir. Sonuçlar, hizmet sektörlerinin payının her türlü imalat ileri KDZ katılımını ve imalat karmaşık geri KDZ katılımını artırdığını, imalat basit geri KDZ katılımını ise azalttığını göstermektedir. Diğer bir deyişle, hizmet sektörleri, ileri bağlantılardaki imalat faaliyetlerinin bir tamamlayıcısı ve küresel üretim ve ticaret ağlarındaki ithal ara malların bir ikamesi olarak görülebilir. Bu durum, dijital altyapı, lojistik ve finans gibi hizmetlerin imalat KDZ’lerine girişi desteklemedeki kilit rolünü yansıtmaktadır. Bu etki, esas olarak gelişmekte olan ülkeler tarafından yönlendirilmektedir. Bu nedenle, hizmetler, doğrudan ekonomik faydalarının yanı sıra, gelişmekte olan ülkelerin imalat KDZ’lerine daha fazla ve daha derin katılımına katkıda bulunmaktadır.

DO SERVICE SECTORS BENEFIT MANUFACTURING GLOBAL VALUE CHAIN PARTICIPATION?

Abstract

Services such as information and communication technologies, logistics, and finance play a critical and increasing role in the coordination of fragmented production stages across countries. Service sectors enable countries to integrate more easily into global value chains and operate more effectively within international production networks, thereby supporting productivity gains, economic growth, and higher GVC participation. Therefore, service sectors are expected to play a key role in shaping countries’ involvement in GVCs. This study explores the effects of the share of service sectors on manufacturing GVC participation. The study also explores heterogeneity in this effect and analyzes 35 developed and 138 developing countries separately over the years 1990-2023. The results suggest that the share of service sectors increases all types of manufacturing forward GVC participation and manufacturing complex backward GVC participation and decreases manufacturing simple backward GVC participation. In other words, service sectors can be seen as a complement to manufacturing activities in the forward linkages and a substitute for imported intermediates in global production and trade networks. This reflects the key role of services such as digital infrastructure, logistics, and finance in supporting entry into manufacturing GVCs. The effect is driven mainly by developing countries. Therefore, in addition to their direct economic benefits, services contribute to more and deeper participation in manufacturing GVCs in developing countries.
