Background Hype in attention for trade in value added (WTO, World Bank, OECD, etc.) Inspiring articles: - J&N: Johnson, R. C. and Noguera, G. (2012), Accounting for Intermediates: Production Sharing and Trade in Value Added, Journal of International Economics, 86(2):224-236 - KPWW: Koopman, R., Powers,W., Wang, Z. and Wei, S.-J. (2010), Give Credit where Credit is Due: Tracing Value Added in Global Production Chains, NBER Working Paper 16426 Predecessor of the current paper is - LRV1: Lejour, A., Rojas-Romagosa, H. and Veenendaal, P. (2012),The Origins of Value in Global Production Chains, study for DG TRADE Today I extend in my presentation the analysis of the paper with - a new concept: factory gate value added exports - redirection via intermediate exports - these extensions are available in a draft paper at the GTAP-website 3
Purpose Can we retrieve meaningful information from global input-output tables about the most important hubs and spokes at the level of the industry of end-use? Some examples: - electronics production in China, South-East Asia and East Asia - motor vehicle assembly in EU12, Mexico, Japan, etc. - airplane construction in USA and EU15 We aim to identify at the industry level - the hubs that convert intermediate output imports into exports - their most important suppliers and customers - and the regions that do not supply 4
Approach (1) Take the datasets from GTAP for 2001, 2004 and 2007 - these datasets link national input-output tables with bilateral trade statistics - 57 industries, 84 different countries/regions Construct global input-output tables from the datasets - main proportionality assumption used: all incoming imports at the industry level are allocated to intermediate and final use in proportion to the row of the import matrix of the importer hence, for example, German electronics imports from China and German electronics imports from the US are allocated to use categories in Germany in exactly the same proportions 5 April 16 2013
Approach (2) Derive suitable indicators that identify the hubs and spokes at the industry level - we base these on redirected trade in value added: intermediate value added imports that are exported again by the one but last country in the chain - this country is either the final output producer producing for foreign final users exporting intermediate value added exports via final output exports (type I redirection); focus of the paper or the last exporter to the final output producer producing for the home market exporting intermediate value added imports via intermediate value added exports (type II redirection); extra in my presentation 6 April 16 2013
Structure of the global input output tables For a three region world example with regions: r, and M S S S f f f x S S S f f f x S S S f f f x w r w w x r x x r rr r r r r r r r r r r S is an (industry by industry) matrix of intermediate output deliveries, f a vector of final output deliveries by industry, x a vector of gross outputs by industry and w a row vector of value added by industry 7
Leontief arithmetic (condensed notation) We summarize the global table with and define input coefficients for intermediates and value added as Then, using S F x w x A( r, i, s, j) S( r, i, s, j) / x( s, j) and v( r, j) w( r, j) / x( r, j) w as an index for the global aggregate over regions, x Ax f ( I A) f Bf w 1 w w in which B denotes the global Leontief inverse and output use. f w is global final 8
Leontief arithmetic: going quadrangular Defining - the exports of final output from to as - the local Leontief inverse of country r as And using - the ^ symbol to denote a matrix with a vector on its main diagonal and zeroes elsewhere - as a toggle which is one if and zero elsewhere rs Consider: gross exports r s f 1 rr (1 )( A B I) fˆ rs rs rs s r s value added exports ˆ 1 rs r rr rs 9
With these definitions we obtain: the well-known result that all value added exports are absorbed in final output f 1 ˆ rs f r s because the relation of gross exports of final output with value added exports is so clear, we restrict ourselves to analysing intermediate gross and value added trade (1 ) A B fˆ 1 ˆ rs rs rs s and rs r rr rs 10
Then we obtain: the importance of imports in exports Intermediate gross exports Intermediate gross imports We learn four things from this: the VS and VAX-ratio s are complements VS rs sr rs s s s VS sr sr r sr s s s the aggregate trade balance is the same in gross trade and in value added trade: imports in exports cancel they don t cancel in the bilateral trade balance though: hence the imports in Chinese exports to the USA exceed the imports in US exports to China (and this may be just a volume effect) value added imports have passed through the chain but value added exports are just at the beginning of the chain 11
Type I redirection in a triangular trading scheme: Redirected imports Absorbed imports Indirect exports to r 12
Type I redirection in a quadrangular trading scheme: Redirected imports Absorbed imports Direct exports to Indirect imports of r s Indirect exports via direct trading partner s 13 February

Calculating factory gate exports We had to restrict the size of the global system to 12 sectors and 12 regions/countries to make the calculations feasible The decay in the chain was about 6.7 We chose the cut-off at the 4th position in the chain After the cut-off only 0.1% of factory gate exports was still wandering in the chain All figures and tables in this presentation are based on the concept of factory gate exports The figures are very similar to those in the paper 19

Some conclusions on the analysis Our analysis yields meaningful results on vertical specialisation at the industry level that are robust over time and seem to make sense We contribute to the literature with - the concept of trade redirection by the last but one country in the chain - the concept of factory gate exports, which seems useful in determining the interrelations in global supply chains (hubs and spokes) characterizing exports as relatively up- or downstream measuring the value added content of trade Type II redirection is still cumbersome to compute Our approach is just to measure what is happening in a meaningful way in the hope that this will be useful in testing the predictions of models that aim to explain what is happening in a meaningful way 36
