Innovation in global value chains [PDF]
, 2019 In this chapter, the authors focus on innovation in global value chains and on the role that such chains play in building and deepening capability. They also focus on the trajectories along which firms, located in developing countries, once inserted into global value chains acquire or lose innovation capability.

Power in global value chains [PDF]
Review of International Political Economy, 2019 Power has been a foundational concept in global value chain (GVC) research. Yet, in most GVC scholarship, power is not explicitly defined and is applied as a unitary concept, rather than as having multiple dimensions. Clarifying the concept of power has become particularly urgent in recent years as GVC research has proliferated beyond dyads of ...

Mapping Global Value Chains [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2014 World trade and production are increasingly structured around “global value chains” (GVCs). The last years have witnessed a growing number of case studies describing at the product level how production is internationally fragmented, but there is little evidence at the aggregate level on the prevalence of GVCs.

On the Geography of Global Value Chains [PDF]
Econometrica, 2020 This paper develops a multi‐stage general‐equilibrium model of global value chains (GVCs) and studies the specialization of countries within GVCs in a world with barriers to international trade. With costly trade, the optimal location of production of a given stage in a GVC is not only a function of the marginal cost at which that stage can be produced

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2021 This paper surveys the recent body of work in economics on the importance of global value chains (GVCs) in shaping international trade flows and multinational activity. On the empirical front, we begin reviewing several variants of the "macro approach" to measuring the relevance of global production sharing in the world economy, and we also offer a ...

Organizing the Global Value Chain [PDF]
Econometrica, 2013 The authors develop a property-rights model of firm boundaries that permits an analysis of the optimal allocation of ownership rights in a setting where production is sequential in nature and contracts are incomplete. They begin in Section 2 by developing a benchmark model of firm behaviour that isolates the role of the degree of `downstreamness' of a ...

Governance in Global Value Chains [PDF]
IDS Bulletin, 2001 Summaries The concept of ‘governance’ is central to the global value chain approach. This article explains what it means and why it matters for development research and policy. The concept is used to refer to the inter‐firm relationships and institutional mechanisms through which non‐market co‐ordination of activities in the chain takes place. This co‐

, 2012 <div><div>This book contains seven case studies of global value chains as well as a discussion of the theory behind these chains. Specifically, it examines the impact of global value chains on local upgrading strategies, as well as the role of governments, buyers, donors, and civil society in influencing value chains and the importance of ...

Critical Asian Studies, 2013 The global value chain concept has become one of the most influential frameworks used in the study of globalization. The paradigm, however, is deficient in explicating the exploitative nature of global value chain governance. Based on a study of soccer ball production in China and Pakistan, this article analyzes global production from three ...
