• Standard trade models failed to explain changes in trade-GDP growth ratio
• Reasons for these changes are unknown, cyclical or structural?
• This paper analyses the role of GVCs in this context (= possible structural reason).
• We include indicators for the participation in GVCs in a standard import demand equation.
• Alternatively, one could analyse differences between gross and value added trade.

• Yi (2001): Falling trade barriers too weak and too early to explain high trade
growth, but vertical specialisation can explain the puzzle
• Eaton, Kortum & Romalis (2011): During the crisis, spending shifted away from durable goods
composition effect hypothesis• Alessandria, Kaboski & Midrigan (2010); Altomonte, di Mauro,
Ottaviano, Rungi & Vicard (2012); Bems, Johnson & Yi (2012): Disproportionally large inventories in GVC trade, higher sensitivity of
trade to foreign income shocks, bullwhip effect supply chain effect hypothesis
• Constantinescu, Mattoo & Ruta (2015): decline in trade-GDP ratio started long before the crisis, thus reflecting
longer term structural reasons
• Ollivaud & Schwellnus (2015): No decline in the ratio with correct GDP measurement and treatment of
intra-EU flows, thus weak global demand is responsible

Conclusions and way forward
23
• Countries with stronger involvement in GVCs tend to import more,
beyond the effect of the demand variable• Omitting these variables leads to higher estimates of income elasticities
larger difference for EME and for longer sample Confirming our hypothesis that GVCs explain part of the high trade to
GDP growth ratio• Income elasticity higher and GVC elasticity lower in advanced than
emerging countries • Sensitivity of imports to GVC-integration rising for EMEs, but declining
for AEs• On the agenda: more (and proper) robustness checks, allow for time-
varying effect of GVC-participation, differentiate demand components
