Abstract: With the service industry becoming the focus of the new round of high-level opening up, the position of global value chain of service industry has attracted a growing number of attentions. This paper constructs a theoretical mechanism of the institutional quality that influences the position of global value chain of the service industry, and takes the cross-border panel data from 61 countries as samples to empirically investigate the above effect. The research results indicate that the institutional quality has a significantly positive correlation with the embedding position of global value chain of service industry, and that the institutional quality has a significant threshold effect on the embedding position of global value chain of service industry. Additionally, R&D expenditure, industrial structure and information infrastructure can play a significant regulating role in the impact of the institutional quality on the position of global value chain of service industry. On this basis, in the context of the new pattern of comprehensive opening up, this paper puts forward some policy suggestions to improve the status of global value chain of service industry, such as optimizing institutional supply, creating a high-quality business institutional environment, etc..

Key words: institutional quality, global value chain, service industry, high-quality opening up, threshold effect
