DESCRIPTION:The Competence Centre for International Economics Research (FIW) kindly inv
 ites to participate in the Seminar in International Economics on the topic 
 A journey toward global value chain upgrading: Exploring the transition fro
 m backward to forward integration  Presenter: Nebojša Stojčić (Universit
 y of Dubrovnik) Discussant: Silvia Nenci (University of Roma Tre) Abstract:
  Global value chains (GVCs) are embraced worldwide as a gateway to technolo
 gical and economic upgrading. Countries integrate into backward\, value-imp
 orting linkages with the aim of accumulating technological capabilities and
  transitioning towards creating their own forward\, value-exporting chains 
 and capturing a greater share of the value generated within GVCs. Existing 
 knowledge\, which is largely fragmented and descriptive\, points to a numbe
 r of uncertainties and complexities that make this process anything but lin
 ear. It is open question whether the deepening backward linkages facilitate
 s forward integration in GVCs. During this event\, a new research using dat
 a from 65 countries over two decades will show that the impact of backward 
 integration on forward integration in GVCs varies over time and that it is 
 moderated by the level of development of the country\, the diversity of the
  GVC partner network and the innovation conditions in the home market. The 
 study adds a new perspective to the literature on GVC-driven upgrading. The
  presentation if available\, will be posted after the event. The seminar se
 ries is organised by the Vienna Institute for International Economic Studie
 s (wiiw) in co-operation with FIW and the European University Institute. Th
 e seminar provides a forum for presentation and discussion of recent academ
 ic research in the field of international economics.
