Participation in international trade and firms’ characteristics - 2020.
82
In recent years, production processes have become fragmented both internationally and domestically. While the international dimension of this phenomenon has been widely documented in the literature, the domestic dimension, beyond the intersectoral relations documented in input-output matrices, is less often analyzed due to the scarce availability of microeconomic data documenting the relations between firms. The purpose of this article is to document these B2B relationships at the microeconomic level in Belgium and to identify the direct and indirect integration of Belgian firms in global value chains. Our analyses show that this fragmentation and direct or indirect participation in international trade generate productivity gains.JEL Codes: D22, F61, L23
