Abstract: Based on the World Input-Output Table and the manufacturing industry panel data from the year of 2003 to 2014, the quality and quantity of imported producer services of various manufacturing industries and the global value chain (GVC) status of them are calculated. A systematic GMM (generalized method of moments) estimation is used to investigate the impact of quality and quantity of Chinas imported producer services on manufacturing GVC upgrading. The results show that through importing producer services, the manufacturing industry has promoted its status in the GVC; the quantity of low-knowledge producer services has promoted manufacturing value chain upgrading more than that of high-knowledge services does, and the quality of high-knowledge producer services has promoted manufacturing value chain upgrading more than that of low-knowledge services does; both quality and quantity of imported producer services have a significant effect on the GVC status of high-tech manufacturing industry, but not on the low-tech manufacturing industry. Finally, measures are proposed such as improving the openness of producer services, formulating differentiated opening policies for different service sectors, and optimizing the internal structure of manufacturing industry.

Key words: imported producer services, manufacturing industry, global value chain, systematic GMM estimation
