Abstract:

The spread of global value chains (GVCs) has given rise to new data formats, such as inter-country input–output (ICIO) tables, and analytical frameworks for effectively identifying production linkages across and within economies. This presentation aims to provide researchers with a comprehensive toolkit to navigate these datasets and frameworks, enabling them to retrieve in a rather straightforward way complex measures of trade in value-added and GVC participation at the country-sector level through the World Bank’s WITS GVC database developed by the authors and the readily available statistical software package icio for Stata.

Michele Mancini is Deputy Head of the Emerging Economies and World Trade Division at the Bank of Italy. He previously worked as Senior Economist at the ECB and contributed to the World Bank World Development Report 2020 on Global Value Chains. He holds a Ph.D. in Economics from Sapienza University of Rome. His research focuses on international trade and global value chains. He has also studied the trade disruptions triggered by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the effects of FDI on firm performance, the political economy of economic integration, the modelling and forecasting of international trade.
