Abstract
This study examines how embeddedness in global value chains (GVCs) affects the potential for national export structural transformation using country-sector level data during the 2000–2014 period. The empirical results indicate that increased GVC participation and position positively impact the potential for export structure transformation. However, the length of the GVC production chain has a negative effect. The results reveal that improving technological capability and value-added capacity contributes to cultivating the potential for structural transformation among GVC participants. However, extending the production chain may mitigate the positive effects of value-added capability improvements and impede structural transformation potential.
期刊介绍:
The Journal aims to publish the best research on international development issues in a form that is accessible to practitioners and policy-makers as well as to an academic audience. The main focus is on the social sciences - economics, politics, international relations, sociology and anthropology, as well as development studies - but we also welcome articles that blend the natural and social sciences in addressing the challenges for development. The Journal does not represent any particular school, analytical technique or methodological approach, but aims to publish high quality contributions to ideas, frameworks, policy and practice, including in transitional countries and underdeveloped areas of the Global North as well as the Global South.
