International fragmentation of production

Since ICT revolution and globalization: traditional trade statistics do notprovide an adequate representation of supply and demand linkagesamong the economies anymore.

Countries export foreign productsDestinations of exports do not coincide with final markets

Need new macro data, new methods and new tools for a full evaluationof a country’s exposure to global demand

New methods: trade in value-added

First works (Hummels, Ishii and Yi, 2001; Johnson and Noguera, 2012):domestic and foreign content of exports: don’t know the final market

VA shares in final demand (VAX): don’t know the exporting country

Decomposition of aggregate exports (Koopman, Wang and Wei, 2014)

Goal: trace the value-added from the origin to the final destinationProblems: some imprecisions; cannot accomplish this result, needthe bilateral dimension

GVC-related trade in aggregate exports

What is GVC-related trade? In the spirit of Hummels et al., 2001:“Goods and services crossing more than one border”Need a (ad-hoc) bilateral decomposition.

GVC-related trade much higher than standard figures:

Standard measure of participation in GVCs derived from KWW: 36%of Italian aggregate exports.Exploiting a bilateral decomposition: 44% of Italian aggregateexports related to GVC.

Intuition: wedge driven by the correct measurement of traditional trade,possible just with the right bilateral decomposition.

New methods to measure trade in VA and countries’ participation inGVC

1 A new decomposition of bilateral-sectoral trade flows: flexible,accurate.

2 Refinements of traditional aggregate measures.

New tool, icio, to calculate standard and more refined measures

1 Flexible and user friendly.2 Still a work in progress, other measures will be added.

Two different frameworks: sink and source (see Nagengast and Steherer,2016).

Sink: accounts the VA the last time it crosses the national border.Focus on destination country.Source: accounts the VA the first time it crosses the nationalborder. Focus on exporting country.

The choice depends on the the particular empirical application More .
