Extending the input-output table based on firm-level data

Tang, Heiwai; Wang, Fei; Wang, Zhi - 2016

This paper proposes a general method to extend a standard input-output (IO) table to incorporate firm heterogeneity when portraying the domestic segment of global value chains in a country. We develop a quadratic optimization model to estimate an extended IO table that reports inter-sector...

Decoupling global value chains

Eppinger, Peter S.; Felbermayr, Gabriel; Krebs, Oliver; … - 2021

Recent disruptions to global value chains (GVCs) have raised an important question: Can decoupling from GVCs increase a country’s welfare by reducing its exposure to foreign supply shocks? We use a quantitative trade model to simulate GVCs decoupling, defined as increased barriers to global...

Are your labor shares set in Beijing? : the view through the lens of global value chains

Reshef, Ariell; Santoni, Gianluca - 2022

We study the evolution of labor shares in 1995-2014, while taking into account international trade based on value added concepts. Declines in labor shares accelerate in 2001-2007, concurrently with global value chain (GVC) integration, after which there is no trend for both. We develop a...

Covid-19 shocking global value chains

Eppinger, Peter S.; Felbermayr, Gabriel; Krebs, Oliver; … - 2020

In early 2020, the disease Covid-19 caused a drastic lockdown of the Chinese economy. We use a quantitative trade model with input-output linkages to gauge the effects of this adverse supply shock in China on the global economy through international trade and global value chains (GVCs). We find...

Production integration in the European Union

Nordström, Håkan; Flam, Harry - 2018

Measured by trade in intermediate inputs, economic integration has increased between 2000 and 2014 between members of the European Union and even more with non-members. Integration is negatively related to economic size and positively to the number of years as a member. Germany is the largest...

Backward versus forward integration of firms in global value chains

Egger, Peter; Erhardt, Katharina; Masllorens, Gerard - 2021

Production processes are increasingly organized in international value-chain networks. The involved firms can be operating at arm’s length or be vertically integrated. Both the incidence and the direction of integration (backward or forward in the value chain) depend on specific...

GVCs and the endogenous geography of RTAs

Fontagné, Lionel; Santoni, Gianluca - 2018

Geography, economic size, or common history, help predicting signed regional trade agreements (RTAs). However, not all signed RTAs are "natural" according to economic determinants. En-dogeneity and general equilibrium effects of RTAS are the two mechanisms addressed in this paper. We estimate...

Automation, global value chains and functional specialization

Fontagné, Lionel; Reshef, Ariell; Santoni, Gianluca; … - 2023

We study how technology adoption and changes in global value chain (GVC) integration jointly affect labor shares and business function specialization in a sample of 14 manufacturing industries in 14 European countries in 1999-2011. Our main contribution is to highlight the indirect effect of...

brightest managers to the public sector abound. This paper studies self-selection into managerial and non-managerial positions … ability and in public service motivation. We find that, if demand for public sector output is not too high, the equilibrium … return to managerial ability is always highest in the private sector. As a result, relatively many of the more able managers …

The effect of adversity on process innovations and managerial incentives

Dostie, Benoît; Jayaraman, Rajshri - 2009

This paper asks whether adversity spurs the introduction of process innovations and increases the use of managerial incentives by firms. Using a large panel data set of workplaces in Canada, our identification strategy relies on exogenous variation in adversity arising from increased border...
