Abstract

This article has examined the effect of economic complexity on services export diversification. It has built on two arguments. The first one draws from Eichengreen and Gupta (2013b) and states that countries that export complex products would have a high penetration in the international goods market, and establish a network that could be exploited to expand their range of services export items. Second, by inducing higher inflows of foreign direct investment (FDI), greater economic complexity could contribute to fostering services export diversification. The empirical analysis supported these two arguments. The implications of the outcomes are discussed in the conclusion.

经济复杂性对服务出口多元化的影响:外国直接投资流入是否重要?

本文考察了经济复杂性对服务出口多样化的影响。它建立在两个论点之上。第一个理论借鉴了Eichengreen和Gupta(2013)的观点，认为出口复杂产品的国家在国际商品市场上具有很高的渗透率，并建立了一个可以利用的网络，以扩大其服务出口项目的范围。第二，通过吸引更多的外国直接投资流入，更大的经济复杂性可以有助于促进服务出口多样化。实证分析支持了这两种观点。结论部分讨论了研究结果的含义。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Development Issues (IJDI) publishes scholarly research on important development issues, with a particular focus on development dynamism and a leaning towards inter-disciplinary research. IJDI welcomes papers that are empirically oriented but such work should have solid methodological foundations based on realism and pragmatism rather than on idealism. Critical analysis of development issues from both the heteredox viewpoint and the neo-liberalist viewpoint, in orthodox tradition, are equally encouraged. The journal publishes authoritative, intelligent articles and research of direct relevance to those investigating and/or working within areas closely associated with development processes. Special consideration is given to research papers that consider development issues from either a socio-economic, political, historical or sociological, anthropological, ecological and technological standpoint.
