| Summary: | This paper proposes methods to
incorporate firm heterogeneity in the standard input-output
table-based approach to portray the domestic segment of
global value chains in a country. The analysis uses Chinese
firm census data for the manufacturing and service sectors,
along with constrained optimization techniques. The
conventional input-output table is split into sub-accounts,
which are used to estimate direct and indirect domestic
value added in exports of different types of firms. The
analysis finds that in China, state-owned enterprises and
small and medium domestic private enterprises have much
higher shares of indirect exports and ratios of value-added
exports to gross exports compared with foreign-invested and
large domestic private firms. Based on input-output tables
for 2007 and 2010, the paper finds increasing value-added
export ratios for all firm types, particularly for
state-owned enterprises. It also finds that state-owned
enterprises are consistently more upstream while small and
medium domestic private enterprises are consistently more
downstream within industries. These findings suggest that
state-owned enterprises still play an important role in
shaping China's exports. |
