At present,the center of world trade is shifting to services,but the services trade restrictions are emerging one after another,which has brought profound impact on the comparative advantage of global trade in services. This paper select data of 32 countries and 8 services industries from the year of 2014 to 2017. Using service trade restrictions index(STRI)from OECD and constructing revealed comparative advantage index and market share index through value-added approach,this paper explore impaction of the importer service trade restrictions on service industry comparative advantage. The empirical research results show that:First,the importer of the service trade restrictions inhibit the service comparative advantage,and the results is robust. Second,importer of service trade restrictions would inhibit the comparative advantage by raising cost,reducing the scale and hindering technology spillover. Third,the service trade restrictions in foreign entry,movement of people,barriers in competition,regulatory transparency and other discriminatory will restrain service export comparative advantage. Fourth,importer for higher income countries or middle-income countries,the implementation of service trade restrictions will both inhibit the comparative advantages,and inhibition of higher income countries are more apparent. Fifth,in terms of industry heterogeneity,restrictions on service trade in importing countries have a significant inhibitory effect on export comparative advantages of labor-intensive,capital-intensive,technology-intensive and knowledge-intensive service industries.
