| Summary: | Several new statistical tools and
analytical frameworks have been developed recently to
measure countries' and sectors' involvement in
global value chains. Such wealth of methodologies reflects
that different empirical questions call for distinct
accounting methods, along with different levels of
aggregation of trade flows. This paper is a companion to the
conceptual framework presented in Borin and Mancini (2019).
The paper describes a new Stata module, icio, that allows
the user to construct the most appropriate measure for given
empirical questions on trade in value-added and
participation in global value chains of countries and
sectors. By exploiting inter-country input-output tables,
icio provides decompositions of aggregate, bilateral, and
sectoral exports and imports according to the source and
destination of their value-added content. As different
measures are suited to address distinct economic questions,
icio is designed to be flexible also in this respect. |
