This vignette demonstrates both frameworks using a four-country, three-sector input–output table. The example includes China, India, Japan, and Rest of World (ROW), each with Primary, Manufacturing, and Service sectors. ## References Borin, A., & Mancini, M. (2023).

The World Bank Economic Review # Data and Setup ## Toy Multi-Regional Input–Output Table The package includes a minimal MRIO table for demonstration purposes: ```{r} # Countries and sectors bm_toy_countries bm_toy_sectors # Dimensions cat("Intermediate flows (Z):", paste(dim(bm_toy_Z), collapse = " × "), "\n") cat("Final demand (Y):", paste(dim(bm_toy_Y), collapse = " × "), "\n") cat("Value added (VA):", length(bm_toy_VA), "industries\n") cat("Gross output (X):", length(bm_toy_X), "industries\n") ``` ## Building the IO Object All **gvcAnalyzer** functions operate on a `bm_io` object that contains the structured IO data and derived matrices: ```{r} io <- bm_build_io( Z = bm_toy_Z, Y = bm_toy_Y, VA = bm_toy_VA, X = bm_toy_X, countries = bm_toy_countries, sectors = bm_toy_sectors ) # Structure io$G # number of countries io$N # number of sectors io$GN # total industries ``` The `bm_io` object includes: - Technical coefficient matrix **A** - Global Leontief inverse **B** - Value-added coefficient vector **v** - Country-level domestic Leontief inverses **L** # BM 2023: Detailed Bilateral Decomposition The BM 2023 framework focuses on precise accounting of value-added in bilateral trade, distinguishing between source and sink perspectives. ## Exporter-Level Decomposition For each exporting country *s*, gross exports are decomposed into: - **DVA_s**: Domestic value added - **FVA_s**: Foreign value added - **DDC_s**: Double-counted domestic content - **FDC_s**: Double-counted foreign content ```{r} # Single country bm_2023_exporter_total(io, 1) # Using index 1 for China # All countries bm_2023_exporter_total_all(io) ``` ## Bilateral Decomposition ### Source-Based Perspective The source-based decomposition tracks value added by its country of origin in bilateral trade flows: ```{r} # Exports from China to India bm_2023_bilateral_source(io, 1, 2) ``` ### Pure Bilateral Flows The pure decomposition isolates direct bilateral value-added flows, excluding third-country effects: ```{r} bm_2023_bilateral_pure(io, 1, 2) ``` # BM 2025: Tripartite & Output Decomposition The BM 2025 framework introduces the "Tripartite" concept (Forward, Backward, Two-Sided) and extends GVC measurement to the production side. ## Tripartite GVC Trade Decomposition The tripartite decomposition classifies bilateral exports into traditional trade and three types of GVC-related trade: - **DAVAX**: Traditional trade (one-crossing domestic value added absorbed abroad) - **GVC_PF**: Pure-forward GVC trade (domestic value added re-exported by the partner) - **GVC_TS**: Two-sided GVC trade (simultaneous use of foreign inputs and re-export) - **GVC_PB**: Pure-backward GVC trade (foreign value added in exports) ```{r} # Single bilateral pair (China -> India) bm_2025_tripartite_trade(io, 1, 2) ``` ### Aggregate Trade Components Summing over all destination countries provides exporter-level GVC trade components: ```{r} trade_comp <- bm_2025_trade_exporter(io) trade_comp ``` ### GVC Participation Indicators From these components, we compute trade-based participation measures: ```{r} trade_meas <- bm_2025_trade_measures(io) trade_meas ``` Key indicators: - **share_GVC_trade**: Share of exports that are GVC-related - **share_PF_trade**, **share_TS_trade**, **share_PB_trade**: Composition of GVC trade - **forward_trade**: Forward orientation index = (GVC_PF − GVC_PB) / GVC A positive `forward_trade` indicates upstream positioning (supplier of intermediates), while negative values indicate downstream positioning (assembler using foreign inputs). # BM 2025: Output-Based GVC Decomposition The BM 2025 framework measures GVC participation from the production side, decomposing gross output rather than exports. ## Country-Level Output Components For each country *s*, gross output is decomposed into: - **DomX**: Purely domestic production (value added never crossing borders) - **TradX**: Traditional one-crossing trade - **GVC_PF_X**: Pure-forward GVC output - **GVC_PB_X**: Pure-backward GVC output - **GVC_TSImp**: Two-sided GVC output via imported intermediates - **GVC_TSDom**: Two-sided GVC output via domestic intermediates - **GVC_TS_X**: Total two-sided GVC output - **GVC_X**: Total GVC-related output ```{r} out_comp <- bm_2025_output_components(io) out_comp ``` The identity holds: **X_total = DomX + TradX + GVC_X** ## Output-Based Participation Measures From the output components, we derive participation indicators analogous to the trade-based measures: ```{r} out_meas <- bm_2025_output_measures(io) out_meas ``` Key indicators: - **share_GVC_output**: GVC-related output as a share of total output - **share_PF_output**, **share_TS_output**, **share_PB_output**: Composition of GVC output - **forward_output**: Output-based forward orientation index ## Sector-Level Decomposition The BM 2025 framework extends to country–sector pairs by proportional allocation based on sectoral output shares: ```{r} out_comp_sec <- bm_2025_output_components_sector(io) head(out_comp_sec, 9) ``` # Summary This vignette introduced the **gvcAnalyzer** package and demonstrated: 1. Construction of the `bm_io` object from multi-regional input–output data 2. BM 2023 bilateral decompositions for precise accounting 3. BM 2025 tripartite trade decomposition for GVC roles 4. BM 2025 output-based decomposition for production-side analysis For empirical applications, users can replace the toy data with full MRIO tables (e.g., WIOD, OECD-ICIO, ADB-MRIO) following the same workflow. # Session Information ```{r} sessionInfo() ```
