However, several important questions remain unaddressed. This paper proposes a new toolkit for value-added accounting of trade flows at the aggregate, bilateral, and sectoral levels that can be used to investigate a broad set of empirical questions -- including an assessment of the share of trade related to GVCs. The paper shows how different empirical issues require distinct accounting perspectives, and maps these methodologies onto the economic questions they are best suited to address. In this way, in addition to providing novel tools, the paper brings a large part of the related literature under one comprehensive framework. 2019-04-11T20:25:09Z 2019-04-11T20:25:09Z 2019-04 Working Paper http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/639481554384583291/Measuring-What-Matters-in-Global-Value-Chains-and-Value-Added-Trade http://hdl.handle.net/10986/31533 English Policy Research Working Paper;No. 8804 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research Publications & Research :: Policy Research Working Paper
