兩岸服務貿易協議對臺灣貿易收支之影響

The Effect of Cross-Strait Service Trade Agreement on Taiwan's Trade Balance

本文主題為探討兩岸服務貿易協議對台灣貿易收支之影響，以供政府制定經貿政策之參考。服務貿易涵蓋跨國提供服務、國外消費、設立商業據點、自然人呈現等四種模式。服務貿易的障礙包括：市場進入管制、歧視性的經營條件、外人投資限制以及自然人移動的限制。服務貿易因其交易方式較商品貿易複雜，故服務貿易相關統計數據之蒐集相對於商品貿易較為困難。由於兩岸簽署服務貿易協議使得雙邊服務貿易約當關稅降低，因此台灣對中國大陸服務貿易出口金額增加，而對台灣自中國大陸服務貿易進口金額亦增加，並且帶動台灣和中國大陸之經濟成長。
