The Global MRIO Lab – charting the world economy (2017, background): “Baldwin and Lopez-Gonzalez (2015) and Los et al. (2015) quantified changes in the geographical scope of the international fragmentation of production processes.”
GLOBAL VALUE CHAINS: A SURVEY OF DRIVERS AND MEASURES (2016, unknown): “The global financial crisis caused a major decline in trade associated with GVCs in 2008 and 2009, but Los et al. (2014) show that international fragmentation trends have resumed afterwards, with a growing role of emerging economies as suppliers of intermediate goods.”
Measuring Bilateral Exports of Value Added: A Unified Framework (2018, unknown): “These findings confirm the well-documented existence of regional production networks (see, e.g. Los et al., 2015).”
An Anatomy of the Global Trade Slowdown based on the WIOD 2016 Release (2016, background): “It has widely been documented that production has rapidly fragmented across countries, a process starting in the 1980s and accelerating in particular in the 2000s (see e.g. Baldwin and Lopez-Gonzalez, 2015; Los et al., 2015).”
Networks of Value Added Trade (2017, unknown): “Even if their regional dimension is still dominant, international production networks are progressively evolving into a truly global network, leading to the emergence of the so-called ‘Factory World’ (Los et al., 2015).”
The mismatch between local voting and the local economic consequences of Brexit (2017, background): “As a consequence of the increasing international fragmentation of production processes (e.g., Los et al., 2015) the dependence of a region on foreign demand for final products cannot be accurately estimated by relying on gross exports statistics alone anymore.”
Global Value Chain Configuration: A Review and Research Agenda (2017, background): “Los et al. (2015) explain, however, that this trend oes not reflect reality and that regional effects could be xplained by the fact that some studies examine trade in erms of intermediate inputs instead of the value added, hus overestimating the internal regional trade in downtream inputs.”
An Illustrated User Guide to the World Input–Output Database: The Case of Global Automotive Production (2015, unknown): “Using the method developed in Los et al. (2015), we provide empirical evidence for this hypothesis and analyze regional distributions of value added in second subsection below.”
Functional specialisation in trade (2018, background): “As such, a national input–output table provides sufficient information and there is no need to use a global input-output table (Los et al., 2015, 2016). 13 Timmer et al. (2016) show increasing international fragmentation of production in the period up to the global financial crisis in 2008.”
