| Summary |
Global value chains are radically altering how goods and services are produced - parts made in one country, for instance, are increasingly assembled in another and sold in a third. This report brings together OECD data on the globalization of value chains, including the rise of outsourcing/offshoring. It first examines how OECD countries are affected by the globalization of production, on both the macroeconomic and sector-specific levels. The costs and benefits of globalization are then discussed, with an emphasis on employment and productivity. Finally, this report analyzes how globalization impacts the competitiveness of OECD countries, highlighting the need for an effective innovation strategy. The report discusses not only the moving up the value chain that takes place in OECD countries but also in China, as R & D is increasingly going to emerging countries.--Publisher's description |
