@techreport{oai:ir.ide.go.jp:02000974, author = {MENG,Bo and CHENG,Wenyin and YE,Ming and KEOLA,Souknilanh and YE,Jiabai}, month = {Mar}, note = {application/pdf, IDP000924_001, This paper explains how we use inter-country input-output models and databases to develop new indicators for visualizing global value chains (GVCs). We created three GVC visualization tools: smile curves, networks and value-chain based revealed comparative advantage (RCA). These tools rely on new indicators of trade in value-added (TiVA), value-chain position and value-chain length. Smile curve tools show the value-added gains, positions and productivities of different countries and sectors in a specific value chain; network tools reveal the interdependence of value-added transfers among countries, their evolution over time and the role of a specific hub country in GVCs; value-chain based RCA tools measure the relative strength or weakness of a certain country in a certain type of goods and services based on TiVA flows.}, title = {Visualizing Global Value Chains: Smile Curve, Network and Revealed Comparative Advantage}, year = {2024} }
