“…In order to test whether OFDI reverse technology spillover will promote the export technological complexity, the method of Brach and Kappel (2009) 4 is referred and the following econometric model is built: ln = + 0 ln + 1 ln + 2 ln + 3 ln + 4 ln + (1) Wherein, t is time (year), i represents provinces, ETC is export technological complexity, SP is the technological spillover obtained by OFDI, IS is industrial structure, BI is the basic infrastructure, HC is the human capital, RD is R&D investment, and ε it is the random error.…”

This paper, by utilizing the inter-provincial panel data from 2009 to 2015 and the two-step system GMM, examines the impact of OFDI reverse technology spillovers on the export technological complexity in China. The result is that OFDI is a driving force for the export technological complexity.By further adding a series of control variables, the result showed that the impact of OFDI reverse technology spillovers on the export technological complexity has been increased. Therefore, the state should endeavor to encourage enterprises to "go global" and focus on the accumulated investment of domestic human and R&D capital.

Sustainable Production Clauses and Positioning in the Global Value Chain: An Analysis of International Investment Agreements (IIA) of the ICT Industry in Developing and Developed Markets

Positioning in the global value chain (GVC) reflects the level and kinds of value creation of a firm or industry. The value creation can be on the upstream or downstream of the value chain. This study explores the effects of sustainable production clauses on the economic and physical positioning of information and communication technology (ICT) firms in the global value chain (GVC). We examined 2107 international investment agreements (IIA), signed by 54 countries that represent 70% of the global investment agreements. The empirical results show that the sustainable production intensity clauses in the IIAs have a significant impact on the positioning of ICT’s in the GVC. However, the degree of impact on the economic scale of participation and physical location in the GVC differs. The heterogeneity test shows that the sustainable production intensity clauses of IIAs between developed and developing countries affect positively and significantly the physical and economic locations in the GVCs. This is less significant while the IIAs are signed between the developed markets. These findings demonstrate that countries should consider sustainable production principles and responsible business conducts while signing the IIAs, and ensure their implementation while participating in the GVCs. This process can enhance value creation by moving towards higher value creation activities within the GVC.

This chapter examines global trends in the internationalization of production and presents new estimates of the number of jobs linked to global supply chains, providing both aggregate figures and figures by sector and sex. The chapter finds that 453 million jobs were related to global supply chains in 2013 in the 40 countries covered by the estimates, an increase from 296 million jobs in 1995. The chapter also discusses results of a sector‐level analysis in which empirical relationships between a sector's participation in global supply chains and selected indicators are identified from both the lead and the supplier firm perspective. Results suggest that, at least in developed economies, there is a positive impact of global supply chain participation on productivity, while no such impact on wages is found. The chapter concludes by exploring the policy options that are available to ensure that economic benefits of global supply chain participation translate into benefits for workers.
