“…Portella-Carbó (2016), using the WIOD 2013 release data for five European countries, Japan, the U.S., and China, analyses several international trade effects on domestic employment, concluding that the restructuring of intermediate product value chains diminished domestic employment in most of these economies. Fritsch and Matthes (2020) calculate the employment effects of intra-European intermediate consumption networks, defined as the derived labour demand based on exports of intermediate goods to other EU countries. They obtain much larger shares of this employment effect (in total employment) for Eastern European countries than major Western European economies, which means greater labour dependency on the Factory Europe observed in the East.…”

“…The literature shows the importance of distinguishing the effects of production fragmentation on labour markets in developed economies from those in developing economies (Bontadini et al, 2019;Fritsch & Matthes, 2020;Taglioni & Winkler, 2016). Moreover, not all sectors are affected similarly given that the impact on services is negligible relative to manufacturing (Blinder, 2009;Crinò, 2010).…”

This study examines the overall effect of global value chains (GVCs) on wages and labour demand. It exploits the World Input-Output Database to measure GVC involvement via recently developed participation indices (using both backward and forward linkages) and the relative GVC position using three-stage least squares regression. We find that the relative GVC position is negatively correlated with wages and employment and that the GVC participation effect depends on whether backward or forward linkages are considered. Moreover, we find heterogeneity across both countries (middle-vs high-income) and sectors (manufacturing versus services). Notably, the effect of GVC involvement on the labour market differs from that produced by traditional domestic trade.

“…Consideration is given to the com parative advantages of enterprises of developing countries for their participation in global value chains. In more detail, the dynamic impact of globalization processes on the constant re configuration of global value chains and their impact on coun tries that form economic relations with developed countries is indicated in the article by Fritsch and Matthes [11]. In particu lar, Fritsch and Matthes [11] indicate the restraining effect of the participation of enterprises of developing countries in global value chains on labor migration from these countries.…”

Purpose. To study the uncertainty of globalization influences on strategic planning (SP). To identify peculiarities of SP for enterprises of Ukraine. To develop methods for evaluating the SP effectiveness in conditions of uncertainty and changes in the level of uncertainty in parameter sequences for relevant forecasting. Methodology. The study used the following methods: critical analysis – to identify the peculiarities of SP in Ukraine; mathematical formalization – to evaluate the efficiency of SP; method of comparing the first derivatives – for the current assessment of the rate of change in economic indicators and their approximation to the target values of SP; analysis and synthesis – to establish the uncertainty levels of the input and outputs sequences of each of the parameters of globalization. Findings. It is stated that different vectors of globalization influences cause formation of a complex “competitive landscape”, which increases the uncertainty of SP. Stratification of requirements for formation of strategic plans and opportunities which they allow implementing is proposed, as well as stratification of indicators of globalization influence. The factors of globalization influence on the formation of uncertainty in the activities of Ukrainian enterprises are studied and the peculiarities of this influence on the SP process are indicated. Originality. An assessment of the level of approximation of the actual and target results of enterprise’s activity is proposed as an indicator of SP effectiveness. A comparison of first derivatives of the efficiency indicator was used to reduce the uncertainty in estimating the rates of dynamic approximation of the actual and forecast results. A method of ordering heterogeneous sequences is proposed for a relevant assessment of the change in the level of uncertainty in parameter sequences. Practical value. The proposed approach reduces conceptual SP ambiguity. The developed method for assessing the uncertainty of globalization effects on SP and identifying the SP peculiarities in conditions of uncertainty will increase SP relevance for Ukrainian enterprises.

“…the Slovak and Czech economies are very dependent on the German economy in terms of production). Another factor is the US-China trade war which has already forced multinational companies to relocate production from China [20]. However, one of the problems [21] is the role of the Global Value Chain (GVC) in specifying sectoral income elasticity.…”

Impact of Globalization and Internationalization Processes on Added Value in EU Countries

Research Background: The paper focuses on the specification of categories of the globalization and internationalization process in terms of origin, development, definition and content. Using European Commission statistics for the period 2013-2017, the EU28 countries are divided into countries that started the EU (Germany, France, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg) and countries that joined the EU before 2000 (Denmark, Norway, Finland, Portugal, Austria, Greece, Spain, Sweden, Great Britain), and other countries of the so-called former Eastern bloc (Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Poland). For such defined EU countries, a different level of involvement in the globalizing common economy of the European Union as well as a different level of involvement in foreign markets, depending on the level of national economies, can be expected. Purpose of the Article: A test set of 338,788 companies from across the EU was used to analyse value added associated with each indicator (value added at factor cost, gross (average) value added per person employed, number of workers, enterprise size classes and selected industries, namely manufacturing, construction, engineering, transportation and logistics). The membership of the countries in the European Monetary Union was also taken into account. Methods: Mathematical and statistical methods of correlation analysis and paired T-test were used for value added analysis. Findings & Value Added: The outputs of the analysis indicated a high level of statistical conclusive evidence in terms of the impact of value added on each enterprise size class across the sectors concerned as well as on the structure of production and the number of active workers.
