Abstract

Using data from the OECD-Trade in Value Added (TIVA) database, this paper analyzes Tunisia’s national and sectoral participation and positioning in global value chains (GVC) during 2005–2015. This paper also aims to illustrate countries with which Tunisia is highly integrated into GVC, by exploring the countries of origin of foreign value added in Tunisian exports, and the countries exporting Tunisian domestic value added share of its gross exports. Tunisia is among the most integrated countries, during the whole period of study. It has a high level of participation in GVC in many industrial activities, particularly in the textile, clothing and leather sector, food processing, and electronic and electrical equipment. The backward linkage in its GVC integration can be explained by the choice of specialization in its production, which roughly explains its position in the middle-stream–downstream. However, its participation in value chains remains regional rather than global. Around 60% of its GVC participation is with European countries. Overall, our results suggest that Tunisia has a potential that has been well exploited for the period 2005–2010 (period before the Tunisian revolution). However, this success remains limited since political and socio-economic crises have limited the potential of Tunisia’s current participation in the GVC.

全球价值链:突尼斯机遇与挑战并存

本文利用经合组织增加值贸易(TIVA)数据库的数据，分析了2005-2015年突尼斯国家和行业在全球价值链(GVC)中的参与和定位。本文还旨在通过探索突尼斯出口中外国增加值的原产国，以及出口突尼斯国内增加值占其总出口份额的国家，来说明突尼斯高度融入全球价值链的国家。在整个研究期间，突尼斯是一体化程度最高的国家之一。它在许多工业活动中高度参与全球价值链，特别是在纺织、服装和皮革部门、食品加工以及电子和电气设备方面。其在全球价值链整合中的后向联动可以用其生产专业化的选择来解释，这大致解释了其在中下游的地位。然而，中国对价值链的参与仍然是区域性的，而不是全球性的。大约60%的全球价值链参与是在欧洲国家。总体而言，我们的结果表明，突尼斯的潜力在2005-2010年(突尼斯革命之前的时期)得到了很好的利用。然而，这一成功仍然有限，因为政治和社会经济危机限制了突尼斯目前参与全球价值链的潜力。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
