Citations in the corpus

• Trade Facilitation and Export Diversification (2011, unknown): “Export diversification is often linked with a shift in export composition from primary commodities to manufactured goods (Collier and Venables, 2007).”
• How important is GVC participation to export upgrading?* (2021, background): “…that participation in GVC leads to technology transfer, knowledge spillover, and access to cheaper and higher-quality intermediate inputs needed for productivity improvement, which are important drivers of export upgrading (Collier & Venables, 2007; Criscuolo & Timmis, 2017; Pahl & Timmer, 2019).”
• Do Global Value Chains Enhance Economic Upgrading? A Long View (2020, background): “Collier and Venables (2007) argue that trade agreements that allow for specialisation in GVCs increase export competitiveness.”
• Help or hindrance ? the impact of harmonized standards on african exports (2007, unknown): “Thus, international harmonisation of product standards may be an important complementary policy in support of recent efforts to extend more generous and easily accessible preferences to the developing world (see e.g., Collier and Venables, 2007).”
• Rural Poverty (2009, background): “This may require specific support for manufacturing industrial development for this potential to materialize (Collier and Venables 2007), but this is still the best route for growth.”
• Climate Change and Africa (2008, background): “This suggests that OECD trade preferences for African non-agricultural exports might become more important (Collier and Venables, 2007).”
