12 What is the role of TNCs in shaping value added trade patterns? Global trade (exports of goods and services), by type, 2010 $ Trillions ~19 ~4 ESTIMATES Total trade within the international production networks of TNCs: ~80% ~15 ~6.3 ~2.4 ~6.3 Global trade in goods and services Non-TNC trade All TNC-related trade Intra-firm trade NEM-generated trade TNC arm's length trade Source: UNCTAD estimates, based on WIR12 (table I.8); BEA; EFIGE; Altomonte et al

18 What is the impact of value added trade and GVCs on development? GDP per capita growth rates for countries with high/low growth in GVC participation, and high/low growth in domestic value added share, n.n% = median GDP per capita growth rates High + 2.2% + 3.4% GVC participation growth rate ʺIntegrating in GVCsʺ Low + 0.7% + 1.2% Low High Growth of the domestic value added component of exports ʺIncreasing dmoestic value addedʺ Source: UNCTAD. * Data for 125 developing countries, ranked by growth in GVC participation and domestic value added share; high includes the top two quartiles of both rankings, low includes the bottom two; GDP per capita growth rates reported are median values for each quadrant. 17

20 Major preliminary findings Global investment and trade are inextricably intertwined through the international production network of firms GVCs are responsible for the growing significance of double counting in global trade figures GVCs make extensive use of services (almost 50% of value added inputs to exports is contributed by service sector activities) The majority of developing countries, including the poorest, are increasingly participating in GVCs Countries with a higher presence of FDI relative to the size of their economies tend to have a high level of participation in GVCs (and a greater relative share in value added trade compared to their share in global exports) GVC links in developing countries can play an important role in economic growth There appear to be a number of distinct GVC development paths for developing countries 19

22 The way forward: a policy analysis agenda Some key questions to answer: What are the implications of new insights on GVCs for investment and trade theory? What are the drivers and determinants of investment in GVCs? Should developing countries adopt specific policies in their development strategy to increase GVC participation? If so, under what circumstances, with what criteria? UNCTAD will aim to answer these and other questions in the World Investment Report 2013 to be launched on 26 June What policies can maximize the benefits and minimize the negative effects of GVCs? 21
