Innovation, Global Value Chains, and Globalization Measurement—A Workshop

Completed

In recent decades, production processes of final products have been increasingly fragmented across countries in what are called global value chains. While National Statistical Organizations collect a great deal of information on economic performance, trade, employment, and foreign direct investment, this information cannot always be used to quantify the international linkages and flows that characterize these cross-border transactions, especially those related to research and development (R&D) or software. NASEM held a workshop to address measurement needs and related gaps in the theory on globalization of R&D and published a proceedings volume summarizing the workshop discussions.
