The Impact

Long-term economic development is thought to necessitate the use of energy. To sustain steady economic growth, economies have increased their dependence on energy sources, tightened restrictions, and put pressure on energy supplies. Our paper employed simultaneous equations with GMM and SBM model to examine the impact of trade mechanism on energy efficiency of Asian countries within the Belt and Road Countries. We find significant increase in energy efficiency. After controlling the heterogeneous effects, the magnitude impact of the coefficient was noticeably which approves that the heterogeneity of countries and years influence the empirical findings of the model. Further, we find and validates that trade in the GVC mechanism helps to promote energy efficiency. Energy efficiency could be greatly promoted by emphasizing its significance in the age of GVC. Several policy recommendations support the findings

The Impact

While COVID-19 has caused significant short-term disruptions in global value chains (GVCs), in the longer run, the pandemic will not be the primary catalyst in GVC evolution. As GVCs recover from the initial shock, managers will make GVC restructuring decisions guided by long-term strategic considerations. This article describes barriers that lead firm managers may encounter when rethinking location/control decisions for value chain activities and suggests that, in addition to structural changes, managerial governance adaptations are instrumental in enhancing GVCs’ long-term resilience. Lessons learned from responding to the pandemic can help managers enhance GVC efficiency in the increasingly uncertain global environment.

Purpose This paper aims to examine the relationship between global value chains (GVCs) and domestic value-added content (DVA) in a panel of 58 countries for the period 2005–2015. Design/methodology/approach First, the authors quantify the refined measures of GVC linkages by using the Borin and Mancini (2019) decomposition technique. Second, the authors apply the feasible generalised least squares method to test the relationship between GVCs and DVA empirically. Findings First, the authors find that GVC links are crucial to the enhancement of DVA. Second, a study at the sectoral level reveals that GVC links in the primary sector raise DVA whilst reducing DVA in the services sector. Third, the authors find that only upstream activities enhance value-added content. Fourth, the authors note the augmenting role played by national policies in mediating the gains associated with GVCs. Finally, the authors note that the outcomes associated with GVCs are consistent when the sample of countries is divided into groups based on income. Practical implications The results lead us to urge policymakers to promote greater integration of business activities into GVCs to reap their benefits. Originality/value This paper contributes to the research on the impact of GVCs on DVA by emphasising the significance of the types of GVC activities and policies that improve DVA.

The Impact

The globalization of production chains has triggered an abundance of political consumer campaigns aimed at promoting global social and environmental responsibility. What is the most effective way to conceptualize and gauge the impact of these campaigns? This chapter explores these issues through an examination of the global value chain (GVC) and similar approaches used to assess the impact of codes of conduct and corporate social responsibility on the production end of the chain. After summarizing key GVC research, the discussion examines a range of critiques of both the GVC approach and the limits of political consumerism. The conclusion reflects on two different frameworks, the system of provision and global poverty chain approaches, which provide foundational critiques of GVC analysis and open new paths for research and ways to rethink political consumerism and the globalization of production and consumption.
