英文摘要 |
If trade statistics included the value of intellectual property rights associated with physical goods, the United States would see an increase in export capacity and a decrease in the trade deficit. More and more American multinational corporations (MNCs) are outsourcing the production and assembly of their products to foreign companies. When they do so, they derive the largest share of their revenue from the intellectual property embedded in core technological innovation and brand names. However, conventional trade statistics are compiled based on the value of goods crossing national borders, as declared to customs. Generally, the value added associated with intellectual property rights and embedded in physical goods is not recorded as either export or import of any country. Hence, current trade statistics greatly underestimate US exports and substantially exaggerate its trade deficit. In this paper, we use the case of Apple, the largest American consumer products company, to illustrate the failure of conventional trade statistics to report actual US export capacity in the age of global value chains. According to our analysis of this case, if the value added of Apple intellectual property sold to foreign consumers was counted as part of US exports, total US exports would increase by 3.2%, and its trade deficit would decrease by 6.4%. In terms of bilateral trade, the value added under examination here would lower the US trade deficit with the region comprising the PRC; Hong Kong, China; Taipei,China; and Macau, China by 5.7% and that with Japan by 7.8%.
