La inserción Argentina en las cadenas globales de valor

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to analyze how Argentina is currently involved in Global Value Chains. First we make a comparison between the country’s current position (strictly speaking, the year 2011) in GVC and the situation registered in the mid-1990s. Second, we analyze which sectors and countries/regions contribute most to Argentina’s participation in the GVC. Finally, we study the implications of the current degree of participation for economic development. The novelty of this study is based on the use of data relatively unexplored: Trade in Value Added OECD; it allows us to make a general analysis of all the chains in which Argentina participates.
