| Abstract | Vertical specialization occurs when countries specialize in certain stages of the global chain of production. Using national input-output tables, it has been proposed to measure vertical specialization as the import content of the exports. However, intercountry input-output tables precisely provide the detailed description of interdependencies of industries between countries that is of interest for global production chains. Therefore, it may be expected that vertical specialization is more adequately measured by using intercountry input-output tables than by using national input-output tables. This paper develops a method to measure vertical specialization for intercountry input-output tables and applies it to the case of six countries in the European Union in 1985, for which data are readily available. |
