Abstract:The existing research finds that the profitability of China’s service industry in the global value chain is increasing. However, few literatures distinguish the profitability of China’s service industry in the global value chain from the perspective of ownership. This paper expands the measurement of value-added trade based on the world input-output model that distinguishes domestic and foreign capital, and constructs a measure of value-added trade in China’s service industry. Finally, the calculation is made using the world input-output table that distinguishes between domestic and foreign capital. The study finds that: (1) domestic sectors in service are the main sectors for exporting value-added in China’s service industry which shows a state of“growth-stationary-regrowth-adjustment”in 2005~2016; (2) the growing of value-added exports in services in 2000~2014 is made by domestic sector, but the decline in recent years mainly comes from the domestic and the foreign sectors; (3) in terms of sectors, the sectors with more value-added exporting in domestic and foreign sectors have a certain degree of overlap.
