Internet openessThe decentralised and open nature of the Internet has

stimulated innovation, delivered economic benefits and

given voice to democratic aspirations. Amid concerns that

this openness is at risk, the OECD strives to preserve the

fundamentallydynamicnatureoftheInternetwhileprotecting

privacy,security,childrenonline,intellectualpropertyandthe

freeflowofinformation.

The OECD Principles for Internet Policy Making urge policy

makers to protect the openness of the Internet in order to

furtherunleash innovation,creativityandeconomicgrowth.

Theprinciplessupportaflexible,multi-stakeholdermodelof

development and management for the Internet rather than

an international regulatory approach, while strengthening

Trade in value-addedUnderstanding and measuring global value chains is clearly

essential to capture value from world trade. However, the

fragmentation of production has meant that the traditional

measuresoftradethatrecordgrossflowsofgoodsandservices

every time they cross borders often present an inaccurate

pictureofbilateraltradebalances.

Sinceexistingdataand indicators fall shortofcapturing the

impact of GVCs on national economies, governments are

lookingformoreandbetterpolicyevidence.

Due to its high quality databases, the OECD, in partnership

withtheWorldTradeOrganisation,haslaunchedanambitious

projecttomeasuretradeinvalue-added.Insteadofthedouble

countingincurrentestimatesofgrosstradeflows,theproject

measures flows related to the value-added by a country (in

labourcompensation, taxesandprofits) in theproductionor

assembly of goods. The results will provide a better picture

oftheintegrationandpositionofcountriesinGVCsandhelp

to illustrate the complex interdependencies in our global

economy.

Global value chainsAs globalisation motivates companies to restructure their

operationsthroughoutsourcingandoffshoring,international

tradeisbeingprogressivelyorganisedwithinglobal value chains

(GVCs) whereby different stages of production take place in

different countries. As a result, firms, countries and other

economicactorscontinuetobecomeincreasinglyconnected.

The importance of GVCs has reshaped the global trade

landscape, but the policy impacts go beyond trade. OECD

workonGVCsidentifiesdomesticsourcesofcompetitiveness,

impact of GVCs on employment, opportunities for emerging

economies to move up the value chain, and how increased

economicinterdependencymayaffectglobalsystemicrisk.

GVCs are expected to result in a more efficient allocation of

productive resources across the world, however, the gains

are not distributed evenly and differ across countries.

The OECD assists by providing greater understanding and

better measurement of the impact of GVCs in order to help

governmentsenhancethebenefitsfromglobaltrade.
