Value Added Erosion in Global Value Chains: An Empirical Assessment JoséCaraballo
نویسنده
چکیده
Many countries in 1995-2008 have experienced what we call the “valueadded erosion”, which describes the phenomenon of the decline in the sectoral shares of domestic value-added in a country’s exports as the country becomes more integrated into the Global Value Chains (GVCs). We argue that the decline of domestic value added share in a country’s exports is likely to be caused by the expansion of high value-adding activities performed by foreign lead firms in the upper stream of the GVCs. The variables of interest namely, domestic value-added share in exports, and foreign high skilled labor embodied in a country’s exports (a proxy for foreign lead’s firm’s high value-adding activities) were estimated using a multi-regional global input-output model. Using these results as well as other control variables we applied a panel cointegration model to explain and assess the likelihood of value-added erosion and its possible determinants.
