Productivity effects of international outsourcing: evidence from plant-level data (2008, unknown): “Chen et al. (2005) update this evidence and also show for the US that vertical specialisation of production can account for about two-thirds of the increase in exports over the last three decades.”
Vertical specialization across the world: a relative measure (2009, methodology): “In addition, Clark (2006) examines data on the use of offshore assembly provisions in the US tariff code and concludes that US firms tend to shift the simple assembly operations to unskilled labour abundant countries. Feenstra et al. (1998) also find that the US content of imports, made through the ”
Weighing China’s export basket: The domestic content and technology intensity of Chinese exports (2013, methodology): “In addition, the existing estimates of Chinese value-added in exports (Chen et al., 2004; Koopman et al., 2008) are based on cross-sections, and do not extend beyond 2002. The period since 2002 has been one in which China became increasingly integrated into the world trading system and trade barrier”
Trade in Intermediate Goods and Services (2009, background): “See for example Chen et al. (2005). Trade in all types of goods (intermediate and final) has been growing at a faster pace than output in the last decade but the share of trade in intermediate goods in total trade does not show any significant increase.”
Give Credit Where Credit is Due: Tracing Value Added in Global Production Chains (2011, unknown): “4 See Chen et al. (2005) and Yi (2003) for revised estimates of the extent of vertical specialization in trade; see Daudin, Rifflart, and Schweisguth (2010), Johnson and Noguera (2010), and Wang, Powers, and Wei (2009) for refined definitions of vertical specialization in trade. added to and from…”
Logistics and Time as a Trade Barrier (2006, background): “Chen et al. (2005) found that this share had increased further in a number of OECD countries between 1990 and 1998.”
DECLINING EXCHANGE RATE PASS-THROUGH TO U.S. IMPORT PRICES: THE POTENTIAL ROLE OF GLOBAL FACTORS (2007, background): “First, Chen, Kondratowicz, and Yi (2005) show that exports by U.S. multinationals to their affiliates abroad of goods for further processing increased from 15.6 percent of total U.S. exports in 1977 to 21.9 percent in 1999 (the last year for which data are available).”
Fragmentation and Trade in Value Added Over Four Decades (2012, unknown): “…capture different information helps us reconcile the observation that the share of intermediate goods in trade has not apparently risen over time, documented for example by Chen, Kondratowicz, and Yi (2005), with our observation below that the global ratio of value added to gross trade is falling.”
