【摘要】Drawing upon a large sample of matched trans-national input-output data and global FTA data, this study examines whether and how the selection of partner in China’s FTA construction process influences the bilateral GVC linkage between China and its partner. We find that China tends to have stronger GVC linkages with the economies with higher income levels, and the higher income of its FTA partner, the stronger mutual GVC dependence between China and the FTA partner. Such kind of FTA is of an upward vertical type for China. These findings are also robust to different model specifications and product-/sector-level disaggregated analyses.
