Global value chains (GVCs) have expanded international trade and benefited developing countries like India. GVCs involve breaking production processes across borders with firms specializing in specific tasks. This allows for greater efficiency and knowledge sharing. While GVC expansion has slowed since 2008 due to lower growth and lack of trade liberalization, GVCs still support greater productivity, incomes, employment, and poverty reduction compared to traditional trade models. India has participated in GVCs in sectors like software, pharmaceuticals, and automobiles. However, challenges like protectionism, trade facilitation issues, and labor regulations could limit India's future GVC integration.
The document summarizes key findings from the OECD's Innovation Strategy report. It finds that innovation involves interactions across an entire system beyond just R&D. Countries need strategies that link different elements like education, infrastructure, markets, and collaboration. New players like emerging economies and young firms are contributing more to innovation. Innovation is already a major economic driver and investment, responsible for much of productivity growth. Countries are encouraged to continue supporting innovation to address challenges and fuel long-term growth.
The document discusses supporting private sector research and development (R&D) in Turkey. It notes that Turkey has many talented students studying abroad and is becoming a manufacturing specialist, but needs to focus more on R&D and innovation to drive sustainable growth. The Technology Development Foundation of Turkey (TTGV) was established to promote R&D and innovation in the private sector through various funding programs. TTGV has supported over 500 projects with over $128 million USD in funding, helping generate over $400 million in total R&D spending in Turkey. However, the document argues Turkey needs to further increase investment in strategic large-scale R&D projects and learning regions to boost the country's competitiveness.
This document discusses global value chains (GVCs) in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. It notes that GVCs account for most world trade but the pandemic exposed vulnerabilities in concentrated supply chains. While some argue GVCs should be dismantled, the document argues this would harm developing economies and global prosperity. Instead, it proposes policies like diversifying suppliers, stress testing supply chains, and public-private cooperation to build more resilient GVCs, ensuring benefits are shared more equally worldwide. Dismantling GVCs risks worsening inequalities and harming stability, so the focus should be on reforming them to address risks revealed by COVID-19.
This presentation by Chiara Criscuolo, Head of Division Productivity Innovation and Entrepreneurship Division, Science Technology, and Innovation Directorate, was made during the discussion “The Relationship between Competition and Innovation” held at the 140th meeting of the OECD Competition Committee on the 14th of June 2023.

This document discusses innovation, business transformation, and standardization. It begins by looking at issues facing businesses during the current pandemic economy crisis. It then discusses the importance of innovation and transformation, citing examples of companies that failed to innovate or transform. The document outlines different levels of competition and discusses strategies for successful innovation, including developing a product innovation strategy, focusing on the right arenas, and executing with an effective idea-to-launch system. It emphasizes the importance of risk management, competency, and developing an organizational culture that supports innovation. The role of standardization in developing risk competency and culture is also discussed. The document uses PT Petrokimia Gresik as a case study for business transformation and discusses
India's participation in global value chains (GVCs) has significantly lagged behind countries like China, Korea, Malaysia and Thailand despite its rising global output. This is due to India's historically protected policy framework that restricted international competition and enterprise engagement in exports. However, GVCs provide advantages like export-led growth, job creation and poverty reduction as seen in East and Southeast Asian economies. For India to achieve its export goals, it needs to address barriers and boost GVC participation as GVCs account for about 70% of global trade. Some measures India could take include reducing trade tariffs to lower costs, increasing foreign direct investment, and improving infrastructure quality.
The integration of SMEs in international trade : Internal and external BarriersMahmoud Sami Nabi
The document discusses internal and external barriers that small and medium enterprises (SMEs) face in integrating into international trade. It notes that SMEs account for a large share of employment and economic activity worldwide but face numerous constraints. Internally, SMEs struggle with lack of access to financing, managerial skills shortages, and financial constraints. Externally, SMEs encounter high trade barriers such as tariffs, non-tariff barriers, inefficient customs processes, and complex technical regulations in export markets. The document recommends various solutions to help reduce these barriers, including improving access to trade financing, supporting SME certification for international standards, and facilitating participation in global and regional supply chains.

This document discusses factors that affect economic growth and competitiveness. It provides data on the fastest growing countries in 2015 according to GDP growth rates from the IMF. Papua New Guinea had the highest growth rate at 19.33%. It also discusses factors that influence short-run and long-run economic growth such as interest rates, fiscal policy, investment and productivity. Countries with the best competitiveness in 2015-2016 according to the Global Competitiveness Index are led by Switzerland, Singapore and the United States. Key factors that affect competitiveness include macroeconomic stability, infrastructure, human capital, innovation and technology readiness.
This document provides an overview of cultural and creative industries in Egypt. It notes that while Egypt has a rich cultural heritage, the contribution of cultural and creative industries to the economy remains modest due to a lack of official data and definition. Some key industries identified include crafts, design, publishing, and digital media. Exports of cultural and creative goods have increased in recent years, with art and crafts making up over half of such exports. The film industry has struggled with bureaucracy but digital distribution is now providing new opportunities. Cultural infrastructure includes 81 museums, 40 theaters, and 78 cinemas across the country.
Global value chains (GVCs) have significantly changed international trade by allowing production to be broken up and spread across different countries. GVCs have led to higher productivity, more employment opportunities, and structural transformations in economies. Government of India policies aim to broaden India's participation in GVCs through various initiatives like the Production Linked Incentive scheme, Atmanirbhar Bharat, Make in India, and improving trade infrastructure and the business climate. These policies focus on enhancing skills, attracting investment, facilitating exports, and supporting sectors like electronics and pharmaceuticals to integrate into global supply chains.
1) Technology transfer occurs through foreign direct investment (FDI) as multinational companies seek resources, markets, efficiency and global presence.
2) Host countries benefit from technology transfer, partnerships in research and development, training and knowledge spillovers, and economic growth and employment.
3) Conflicts can arise when host countries limit technology transfer or exploit resources and labor, while home countries face high taxes and barriers, but win-win situations are possible through technology introduction, improved research and development, economic growth, tax incentives, and business expansion.
Advocata Lecture by Prof Prema-Chandra Athukorala on FDIsAdvocata Institute
This document discusses foreign direct investment (FDI) and its role in expanding manufacturing exports from developing countries. It begins by defining FDI and distinguishing between market-seeking and efficiency-seeking FDI. It then explains the concepts of production sharing and global production networks, giving examples like the Nike Flyknit shoe. It analyzes Sri Lanka's experience with FDI and manufacturing exports, noting achievements like export diversification but also missed opportunities like lagging in producer-driven networks. Policy priorities for countries to join networks include developing labor skills, lowering trade and investment barriers, and proactive investment promotion.
The future-of-productivity-peterson-institute-for-international-economics-was...Dr. Stefan Laternser
Productivity growth has slowed in recent decades, driven by a breakdown in the diffusion of innovations from highly productive frontier firms to other firms. Three key factors contributing to this are: 1) a weaker connection between the global productivity frontier and national frontiers, limiting the spread of innovations; 2) misallocation of resources due to skill mismatches and barriers to reallocation; and 3) declining investment in knowledge-based capital. Reviving productivity will require policies to strengthen the innovation engine, improve the diffusion of innovations, and support the reallocation of resources to more productive firms through policies like pro-competition reforms, education and training initiatives, and bankruptcy laws that facilitate exit.

Co-organized by IFPRI and Agricultural Market Information System (AMIS)
OCT 18, 2023 - 9:00 TO 10:30AM EDT
Rice is the most consumed cereal in Senegal, accounting for 34% of total cereal consumption. Per capita consumption is 80-90kg annually, though there is an urban-rural divide. While domestic production has doubled between 2010-2021, it still only meets 40% of demand. As a result, Senegal imports around 1 million tons annually, mainly from India and Thailand. Several public policies aim to incentivize domestic production and stabilize prices, though rice remains highly exposed to international price shocks due to its importance in consumption and reliance on imports.

This document provides an overview of the Political Economy and Policy Analysis (PEPA) Sourcebook virtual book launch. It summarizes the purpose and features of the PEPA Sourcebook, which is a guide for generating evidence to inform national food, land, and water policies and strategies. The Sourcebook includes frameworks, analytical tools, case studies, and step-by-step guidance for conducting political economy and policy analysis. It aims to address the current fragmentation in approaches and lack of external validity by integrating different frameworks and methods into a single resource. The launch event highlighted example frameworks and case studies from the Sourcebook that focus on various policy domains like food and nutrition, land, and climate and ecology.
- Rice exports from Myanmar have exceeded 2 million tons per year since 2019-2020, except for 2020-2021 during the peak of the pandemic. Exports through seaports now account for around 80% of total exports.
- Domestic rice prices in Myanmar have closely tracked Thai export prices, suggesting strong linkages between domestic and international markets.
- Simulations of a 10% decrease in rice productivity and a 0.4 million ton increase in exports in 2022-2023 resulted in a 33% increase in domestic prices, a 5% fall in production, and a 10% drop in consumption, with poor households suffering the largest declines in rice consumption of 12-13%.

Around 52% of the elder populations in India are living in poverty and poor health problems. In this technological world, they became very backward without having any knowledge about technology. So they’re dependent on working hard for their daily earnings, they’re physically very weak. Thus charity organizations are made to help and raise them and also to give them hope to live.

New report offers sobering view of the energy transition
Every year the Statistical Review of World Energy offers a behemoth of data on the state of the global energy market. This year’s findings highlight the world’s insatiable demand for energy and the need to speed up the pace of decarbonisation.
Here are our four main takeaways from this year’s report:
Fossil fuel consumption — and emissions — are at record highs
Countries burnt record amounts of oil and coal last year, sending global fossil fuel consumption and emissions to all-time highs, the Energy Institute reported. Oil demand grew 2.6 per cent, surpassing 100mn barrels per day for the first time.
Meanwhile, the share of fossil fuels in the energy mix declined slightly by half a percentage point, but still made up more than 81 per cent of consumption.

model a
game
changer?
• Many success stories of recent industrialization had a common ingredient—import-to-export (I2E):
• The IMPORTING side: GVCs deliver easier access than ever before to capital, technology, skills, know-
how, tacit knowledge, and the competitive pressure to produce at world-class standards is higher
• The EXPORTING side: GVCs allow to solve a paradox—specialize and reach scale thanks to the access
to global markets
