Global Value Chain Development Report 2017 : Measuring and Analyzing the Impact of GVCs on Economic Development

Global value chains (GVCs) break up the production process so at different steps can be carried out in different countries. Today’s official statistical information systems, designed to measure economic activity in a pre-GVC world, have struggled t...
