The paper analyzes the effects of integration into global value chains (GVCs) on the productivity of firms in different developing regions. To this end, a panel of 42,733 manufacturing firms from 114 countries was put together using data from the World Bank Enterprise Survey. The OLS estimates include country, year, and industry fixed effects, assuming that these specific elements condition the effect of integration on productivity. The results indicate that integration into GVCs through importing inputs, instead of promoting productivity improvements and bringing about structural transformation in developing economies, may be counterproductive.
