Does vertical specialisation increase productivity? [PDF]
AbstractThis paper investigates the impact of global value chain (GVC) participation on productivity. It uses data on trade in value‐added from the World Input‐Output Database. The results based on a panel estimation covering 13 sectors in 40 countries over 15 years suggest that participation in GVCs is a significant driver of labour productivity ...

Vertical Specialization, International Task Fragmentation, and Convergence [PDF]
In this paper, we construct an elaborate general equilibrium model with a continuum of production fragments for an intermediate good, then embed it in a growth model to address the effects of global production fragmentation, vertical specialization and trade on growth and inequality for a small developing country.

Vertical Specialization and the Border Effect Puzzle [PDF]
A large body of empirical research finds that a pair of regions within a country tends to trade 10 to 20 times as much as an otherwise identical pair of regions across countries. In the context of the standard trade models, the large "border effect" is problematic, because it is consistent only with high elasticities of substitution between goods and ...
