OU-UnB Workshop on Multisectoral Analysis and Global Value Chains

International Development & IKD @ The Open University

OU-UnB Workshop on Multisectoral Analysis and Global Value Chains.

Jointly organized by Andrew Trigg of The Open Political Economy Group (IKD, The Open University) and Ricardo Araujo of the Growth, Distribution and Structural Change research group (University of Brasilia/CNPq): rsaaraujo - Home Page do Grupo de Crescimento e Distribuição do CNPq (google.com)Input-output specialists have been described by Richard Baldwin as the ‘gods’ of Global Value Chain (GVC) analysis, due to the suitability of Leontief technology for modelling international flows of intermediate inputs. With input-output techniques at its core, this workshop provides a primary focus on GVCs, an increasingly important phenomenon in the world economy. Multisectoral analysis – both theoretical and empirical – will be combined with qualitative and conceptual insights, including a focus on development issues and the importance of income distribution.
