Manuscript Topics

Recent decades have seen the emergence and development of global value chains (GVCs), in which production stages are broken apart and sliced up countries/regions. Examples of GVC are from the production of Apple iPhones to Boeing airplanes, and so on. Researchers and international agencies have made great effort to develop a coherent measurements and empirical analysis of GVCs. Addressing the gaps in the measuring and analyzing of GVCs is important both for enhancing our knowledge of how the present modern global economy works and for clarifying policy debates.

Up to now, important progress has been made in measuring and analyzing GVCs. At the macro level, researchers use detailed trade data to link existing national input–output tables across countries (i.e., the resulting global input–output tables) to extend the input–output accounting apparatus across borders. At the micro level, researchers have devoted growing attention to charactering firms’ input sourcing decisions, how importing is connected to exporting at the firm level, and how multinational firms organize their production networks. Studies that push forward the measuring and analyzing the Global Value Chains will be helpful for the future.

This Special Issue welcomes research and scholarship on the measuring and analyzing of GVCs. This Special Issue will place specific emphasis on but not limit to the following topics:

• Pushing the accounting frameworks of Global Value Chains
• The upgrading of Global Value Chains
• Services in Global Value Chains
• Firms in Global Value Chains
• Trade agreements and Global Value Chains
• Employment and Global Value Chains
