The document discusses the growing importance of the service sector in the US and global economy. It notes that the service sector currently accounts for over 80% of the US economy and 40% of the world economy. It also discusses how countries that previously had trade surpluses in manufacturing goods are now facing increasing trade deficits in services with the US. The document uses US and WTO data to analyze trends in US trade in services and examines whether countries are employing protectionist measures to create barriers to trade in services, as has been done with other sectors. It provides examples of the growth of the service sector in the economies of countries like China and discusses how trade in services impacts US competitiveness.

INFORMS 2014 - The Integration Quality Gap in Service System NetworksStephen Kwan
Service providers often have to construct networks of partners to fulfill service obligations to customers. We introduce an integration service quality gap that represents the difference between customer service quality expectation and perceived service quality in his service journey in a service system network. The integration service quality gap is incorporated with traditional service quality gaps to form a more complete treatment of service quality metrics in such an environment.

Service Sector in
US Economy
Currently the service sector accounts for over eighty percent of the US economy and
forty percent of the world economy according to the International Labor Organization.
The growth in trade in services has become increasingly an important factor in the
global economy. Countries which had enjoyed a trade surplus in manufactured goods
(such as Taiwan, Korea, Japan, Countries with facing an increasing trade deficit in
etc.) are now
Trade Deficit in
services with the US which had maintained a competitive position. In the case of
Services with US
China, the service sector is one area the US had kept a growing surplus in trade in
contrast to a substantial deficit in other sectors. China had recognized the importance of
its service sector and designated it for development in its current 2006-2011 Five Year
Plan. This research will use US Department of Commerce and WTO data to create a
profile of US trade in services. An attempt will be made to identify whether traditional
methods employed in the manufactured goods and farm product sectors Technical such as
protectionist measures, subsidies to domestic producers, domestic standards, etc. to Trade
Barriers are
being employed by US and its trade partners as technical barriers to trade in services.
APEC, TPP
We will draw examples from countries such as China and Korea and will also consider
other countries (such as Singapore) and groups (such as APEC, Trans-Pacific
Partnership, etc.) that have trade agreements with the US. We will consider how the
current state of trade in services impacts on the growth of the US service sector

With plurilateral agreements derailed,

negotiations for

• Regional agreements – e.g., NAFTA – to be renewed soon

• Complacency – “We have a huge trade surplus…. We are doing fine…”
• Other countries that are “top-down” will catch up or exceed US in their
service sector abilities
• No Intellectual Property protection on Service Concepts – no patents
• Very little International Service Standards – potential for national and
domestic standards development
• Continued weak economy – shrinking of global trade
• Loss of confidence in US services – e.g., financial services

“Ranging from architecture to voice-mail telecommunications and
to space transport, services are the largest and most dynamic
component of both developed and developing country economies.
Important in their own right, they also serve as crucial inputs into
the production of most goods. Their inclusion in the Uruguay
Round of trade negotiations led to the General Agreement on Trade
in Services (GATS). Since January 2000, they have become the
subject of multilateral trade negotiations.”

Technical regulations and product standards may vary from
country to country. Having many different regulations and
standards makes life difficult for producers and exporters.
If regulations are set arbitrarily, they could be used as an
excuse for protectionism. The Agreement on Technical
Barriers to Trade tries to ensure that regulations, standards,
testing and certification procedures do not create
unnecessary obstacles.

• Transparency – national “GB” standards are easily accessible but not so
with regulatory agencies, local/provincial, professional, decrees, etc.
• Uneven Enforcement – inadequate enforcement for local companies,
tedious procedures put US companies at a competitive disadvantage, etc.
• Conformity Assessment Policies – only by designated Chinese bodies,
does not recognize external certifications, etc.
• Revisions to “China Compulsory Certification” Program
• Foreign Participation on Chinese Technical Committees
