Abstract: This paper investigates the relationship between participations of countries in Global Value Chains (GVCs) and their positions in the International Trade Network (ITN). Our estimates indicate that there is a strong relationship between the GVC participation and the network position of a country. We find that forward participation is associated with more clustered but fewer trade links, whereas backward participation is associated with less clustered but more trade links. We then interpret these results by expressing the background of value chains, and this provides us a clear understanding for the nexus between GVCs and ITN.
