Tracing Value-added and Double Counting in Gross Exports

Abstract: This paper proposes a framework for gross exports accounting that breaks up a country's gross exports into various value-added components by source and additional double counted terms. By identifying which parts of the official trade data are double counted and the sources of the double counting, it bridges official trade (in gross value terms) and national accounts statistics (in value added terms). Our parsimonious framework integrates all previous measures of vertical specialization and value-added trade in… Show more

“…The most prominent series of papers focus on trade theory and trade in value-added in particular. Triggered by the concepts of international fragmentation, global supply chains, and slicing up the value chain, several papers have been published on this topic (Trefler and Zhu, 2010;Bems et al, 2011;Johnson and Noguera, 2012;Koopman et al, 2013). And again, there is a lot of old wine in new bottles.…”

“…The two methods anchor VA flows either to the country of production or to the country of final consumption, which they called the source-based and the sink-based approach, respectively. The decomposition that is most similar to the contribution of Nagengast and Stehrer (2014) is the work by Koopman et al (2014). They 'implicitly use a variation of the source-based view when identifying VA exports in gross trade flows, but that their subdivision of VA exports is to some extent arbitrary and not based on the number of international border crossings'.…”

“…Although with regard to the overall trade of a country the trade balances in gross terms and in VA terms are the same, they differ in bilateral trade. The differences arise from the exclusion from trade in value added the parts of trade flows included in traditional statistics more than once (Koopman, Wang & Wei, 2014). Therefore, trade in intermediate goods contributes to divergent statistics according to the two concepts.…”
