International production is increasingly organised within so-called global value chains where the different stages of the production process are located across different countries. This aspect of globalisation has many implications for trade and investment patterns, productivity performance and the workings of labour markets, as well as for economic measurement.
In this workshop we bring together the work by leading European research institutes, international organizations and private sector initiatives on various aspects of global value chains in order to discuss and identify the most relevant research and policy priorities for the near future.
