In order to comprehensively, systematically and objectively evaluate the comprehensive development level of service trade in major economies in the world, the research team of trade in services in the CAITEC began to study and establish a comprehensive index system including service industry, service investment, cross-border service trade, service open environment, etc., as well as total volume indicator, per capita indicator, structural indicator, etc., forming the development index of trade in services of more than 90 economies. Through this index system, it can well reflect the advantages, disadvantages and gaps in the development of service trade of countries around the world, and provide reference for countries around the world to promote the internationalization of service industry and make up for the shortcomings in the development of service economy and service trade.
At the same time, according to the development situation and hot spots of global and Chinese service trade every year, it can select annual topics to do in-depth research. Namely, each year's report includes at least two parts: the first part is to measure the development index of trade in services in major global economies, and the second part is to write thematic research reports on annual themes. In addition, combined with the situation of China's provinces and cities, in the annual report, we have measured the development index of trade in services at the provincial level in China, and the indicators and methods are basically the same as the national indicators.
