Global Value Chains in economic development

Hansjörg Herr, Petra Dünhaupt | 2019

 

Abstract: Global Value Chains (GVCs) started to play an increasing and key role in the global economy from the 1990s on. The market mechanism in GVCs supports industrialisation in the Global South and under certain conditions product and process upgrading. But GVCs do not lead to the catching-up of countries in the sense of them approaching real GDP per capita levels comparable with developed countries. These arguments are supported by a critical interpretation of the traditional trade theory, the New Trade Theory and specific approaches to explain GVCs, especially different governance structures and power relationships. Several case studies support these arguments. For catching-up, countries need comprehensive horizontal and vertical industrial policy and policies for social coherence. The small number of countries which managed to catch up did this in different variations.

Key words: Global Value Chains, Under-development, Rent-seeking, Industrial Policy

Warum bleibt die Vielfalt des wirtschaftswissenschaftlichen Meinungsspektrums in der medialen Berichterstattung weitgehend unberücksichtigt? Warum kommen immer dieselben (oft fachlich orthodoxen) Stimmen zu Wort? Die Selektionslogik des Medienmarkts und der so genannte Nachrichtenwert tragen maßgeblich dazu bei. Ein Beitrag von Francis Rohr.

L'Observatoire régional de l'environnement (ORE) expose les instruments économiques que nous avons à disposition pour faire face à la gravité des problèmes environnementaux (réchauffement climatique, stress hydrique, pollution des eaux continentales et marines, érosion de la biodiversité). On apprend quels sont les enjeux à mettre un prix à la nature (pollution, biodiversité...) et quels sont les avantages et inconvénients de chaque mesure mise en place par l'État pour agir pour une transition écologique durable. Enfin, il propose différentes méthodes qui pourraient améliorer notre approche à inclure notre environnement dans notre système économique en prenant des cas concrets (eau potable, prix du carbone...)

In the second video of the series Investigating International Finance, an alternative view on capital controls is given contrasting with the paradigm of classical trade theory suggesting that the removal of trade and capital barriers is associated with higher market efficiency. After explaining the conceptual mechanisms underlying capital controls, examples are introduced where countries actually apply capital controls and how these controls have been associated with a lesser exposure to international financial crises spillovers.
