Abstract

In the post-covid world, governments explore options to enhance their policies so that corporations can act as successful motors of recovery and sustainable growth. Countries select various objectives related to global value chains (GVC), such as participation, value capture, inclusiveness and resilience, yet might be unaware of the position of corporations they are supposed to motivate. In this paper, we aim to (re-)investigate the position of Visegrad Four (V4) suppliers within the regional automotive value chains and to compare results with suppliers in other EU member states using the trade in value added (TiVA) statistics. We set two research questions: How does the position of V4 in automotive GVCs differ from the positions of other EU member states and significant other automotive-producing countries? What is the link between the domestic value added in gross exports of final automotive products and the selected policy variables? A multiple linear regression model is run with TiVA in the automotive industry as the dependent variable and independent variables embodying proxies of GVC-oriented policy consequences. The analysis identifies significant differences in value-added levels between V4 countries and other EU countries, and other large automotive-producing economies. Labour costs, productivity, investment in R&D and innovation support are among the factors where V4 countries fall behind. Implications for Central European audience: The results of our research might be helpful for respective authorities and governments in V4 and other Central and Eastern European countries. They can be of use when setting goals and implementing policies targeted at promoting innovation, upgrading within existing GVCs and in cooperation between universities and research centres on the one hand and the automotive industry on the other. © 2023, Central European Business Review.

v4汽车供应商全球价值链地位的动态:对公共政策的启示
在新冠疫情后的世界,各国政府探索加强政策的选择,以便企业能够成为复苏和可持续增长的成功引擎。各国选择了与全球价值链相关的各种目标,如参与、价值捕获、包容性和韧性,但可能不知道它们应该激励的公司的地位。在本文中,我们旨在(重新)调查Visegrad Four(V4)供应商在区域汽车价值链中的地位,并使用附加值贸易(TiVA)统计数据将结果与其他欧盟成员国的供应商进行比较。我们提出了两个研究问题:V4在汽车全球价值链中的地位与其他欧盟成员国和其他重要汽车生产国的地位有何不同?汽车最终产品出口总额中的国内增加值与选定的政策变量之间的联系是什么?多元线性回归模型以汽车行业的TiVA为因变量,自变量体现了全球价值链导向的政策后果。该分析发现,V4国家与其他欧盟国家以及其他大型汽车生产经济体之间的增值水平存在显著差异。劳动力成本、生产力、研发投资和创新支持是V4国家落后的因素之一。对中欧受众的影响:我们的研究结果可能对V4和其他中欧和东欧国家的相关当局和政府有所帮助。它们可以在制定目标和实施政策时发挥作用,这些目标和政策旨在促进现有全球价值链内的创新和升级,以及大学和研究中心与汽车行业之间的合作。©2023,《中欧商业评论》。保留所有权利。
