Value added content of trade: A comprehensive approach

Neil Foster-McGregor and Robert Stehrer

Economics Letters, 2013, vol. 120, issue 2, 354-357

Abstract: This letter provides an approach to decompose the value added content of trade into foreign and domestic components when intermediates are traded. The measure adds to the existing literature by considering both exports and imports simultaneously. In this way this approach generalizes the commonly applied vertical specialization measures based on exports only which are encompassed.
