Measures of Participation in Global Value Chains and Global Business Cycles
Wang, Zhi - 2017
This paper makes two methodological contributions. First, it proposes a framework to decompose total production activities at the country, sector, or country-sector level, to different types, depending on whether they are for pure domestic demand, traditional international trade, simple GVC...

Organizing the Global Value Chain
Antras, Pol - 2012
We develop a property-rights model of the firm in which production entails a continuum of uniquely sequenced stages. In each stage, a final-good producer contracts with a distinct supplier for the procurement of a customized stage-specific component. Our model yields a sharp characterization for...

Global Value Chains and Effective Exchange Rates at the Country-Sector Level
Patel, Nikhil - 2014
The real effective exchange rate (REER) is one of the most cited statistical constructs in open-economy macroeconomics. We show that the models used to compute these numbers are not rich enough to allow for the rising importance of global value chains. Moreover, because different sectors within...

International Inflation Spillovers Through Input Linkages
Auer, Raphael - 2017
We document that observed international input-output linkages contribute substantially to synchronizing producer price inflation (PPI) across countries. Using a multi-country, industry-level dataset that combines information on PPI and exchange rates with international and domestic input-output...

New Technologies, Global Value Chains, and Developing Economies
Rodrik, Dani - 2018
Many of the exports of developing countries are channeled through global value chains (GVCs), which also act as conduits for new technologies. However, new capabilities and productive employment remain limited so far to a tiny sliver of globally integrated firms. GVCs and new technologies...

Trade, Production Sharing, and the International Transmission of Business Cycles
Burstein, Ariel T. - 2010
Countries that are more engaged in production sharing exhibit higher bilateral manufacturing output correlations. We use data on trade flows between US multinationals and their affiliates as well as trade between the United States and Mexican maquiladoras to measure production-sharing trade and...

Specialization : Pro- and Anti-Globalizing, 1990-2002
Anderson, James E. - 2014
Specialization alters the incidence of manufacturing trade costs to buyers and sellers, with pro-and anti-globalizing effects on 76 countries from 1990-2002. The structural gravity model yields measures of Constructed Home Bias (the ratio of predicted local trade to predicted frictionless local...

Intra-National Versus International Trade : How Stubborn are Nations in Global Integration?
Wei, Shang-Jin - 2021
This paper examines the home country bias in the goods market among OECD countries. An average country imports about two and a half times as much from itself as from an otherwise identical foreign country, after controlling for sizes of exporter and importer, their direct distance, geographic...
