Introduction

• "A Barbie doll costs $20, but China only gets about 35 cents of that."– New York Times 2006

Page 3: PRODUCTION FRAGMENTATION, UPSTREAMNESS, AND VALUE ADDED EVIDENCE FROM FACTORY ASIA 1985-2005 Tadashi Ito (IDE-JETRO) Pierre-Louis Vézina (U of Birmingham)

Introduction

• Two questions may come to mind:– Is Chinese production really only about adding

cents of value to imported inputs? – Is China adding so little value to Barbie dolls

because its stage is at the downstream end of the production chain?

Page 4: PRODUCTION FRAGMENTATION, UPSTREAMNESS, AND VALUE ADDED EVIDENCE FROM FACTORY ASIA 1985-2005 Tadashi Ito (IDE-JETRO) Pierre-Louis Vézina (U of Birmingham)

What we (think we) know

• China – which is physically in the middle of ‘Factory Asia’ – is not using Chinese factors of production…for most of Chinese exports (Baldwin 2011)

• The Chinese content of its ‘processing exports’ is less than 20% (Ma and Van Assche 2010), and processing exports accounted for more than 50% of the nation’s boom in manufactured trade

• China must solve the value added problem (Elliott 2014)

Page 5: PRODUCTION FRAGMENTATION, UPSTREAMNESS, AND VALUE ADDED EVIDENCE FROM FACTORY ASIA 1985-2005 Tadashi Ito (IDE-JETRO) Pierre-Louis Vézina (U of Birmingham)

What we (think we) know

• Example: Apple’s iPad• Made in China?

Page 6: PRODUCTION FRAGMENTATION, UPSTREAMNESS, AND VALUE ADDED EVIDENCE FROM FACTORY ASIA 1985-2005 Tadashi Ito (IDE-JETRO) Pierre-Louis Vézina (U of Birmingham)

The iPhone supply chain

• WHEN Apple launched the iPhone in 2007, it deployed a state-of-the-art global supply chain. Although the pioneering smartphone was designed in America, and sold first to consumers there, it arrived in stores from Shenzhen, China. It had been assembled there by Foxconn International from parts made by two firms in Singapore, six in Taiwan and two in America.

– The Economist, 13 Dec 2014

Page 7: PRODUCTION FRAGMENTATION, UPSTREAMNESS, AND VALUE ADDED EVIDENCE FROM FACTORY ASIA 1985-2005 Tadashi Ito (IDE-JETRO) Pierre-Louis Vézina (U of Birmingham)

Why it matters

• Focusing on downstream production stages (i.e. assembling Barbie dolls) maybe isn't the best way to generate value and thus GDP…

Page 8: PRODUCTION FRAGMENTATION, UPSTREAMNESS, AND VALUE ADDED EVIDENCE FROM FACTORY ASIA 1985-2005 Tadashi Ito (IDE-JETRO) Pierre-Louis Vézina (U of Birmingham)

Why it matters• Before 1985, successful industrialisation

meant building a domestic supply chain. Today, industrialisers join supply chains and grow rapidly... These changes have not been fully reflected in “high development theory” – a lacuna that may lead to misinterpretation of data and inattention to important policy questions (Baldwin 2011)

Page 9: PRODUCTION FRAGMENTATION, UPSTREAMNESS, AND VALUE ADDED EVIDENCE FROM FACTORY ASIA 1985-2005 Tadashi Ito (IDE-JETRO) Pierre-Louis Vézina (U of Birmingham)

What we do

• We use newly-released Input-Output data from the Institute of Developing Economies (IDE-JETRO) to:– Dress a picture of the geographic fragmentation of

the value added embedded in Factory Asia’s final output from 1990 to 2005

– Establish a link between upstreamness and value-added contribution

Page 10: PRODUCTION FRAGMENTATION, UPSTREAMNESS, AND VALUE ADDED EVIDENCE FROM FACTORY ASIA 1985-2005 Tadashi Ito (IDE-JETRO) Pierre-Louis Vézina (U of Birmingham)

How we measure value added

• Sale value = intermediate inputs + value added

wages profits

Manufacturing

China’s manufacturing final products embed a smaller share of foreign value added than any other Factory Asia countries!

Page 14: PRODUCTION FRAGMENTATION, UPSTREAMNESS, AND VALUE ADDED EVIDENCE FROM FACTORY ASIA 1985-2005 Tadashi Ito (IDE-JETRO) Pierre-Louis Vézina (U of Birmingham)

The end of a myth?

• A persistent myth about Chinese manufacturing is that the country is only good for assembly, with the more profitable parts of the operation, such as design and marketing, remaining in the West and Japan.

The Economist, 14 Mar 2015

Take-home message

• In 2005 China’s value added accounted for around 6% of production in Malaysia, 4% in Korea and Thailand, and 5% of Taiwan

• The US and Japan were and still are important sources of value added in all of these countries’ production

Back to the second question

• Is China adding so little value to Barbie dolls because its stage is at the downstream end of the production chain? • How can we measure the upstreamness of production?

Page 23: PRODUCTION FRAGMENTATION, UPSTREAMNESS, AND VALUE ADDED EVIDENCE FROM FACTORY ASIA 1985-2005 Tadashi Ito (IDE-JETRO) Pierre-Louis Vézina (U of Birmingham)

Upstreamness

• Intuition: An industry whose output is used mostly as intermediate input for other industries should be relatively upstream

• Antras et al. (2012) suggest the ratio of final use to input use of an industry’s output measures upstreamness

Page 24: PRODUCTION FRAGMENTATION, UPSTREAMNESS, AND VALUE ADDED EVIDENCE FROM FACTORY ASIA 1985-2005 Tadashi Ito (IDE-JETRO) Pierre-Louis Vézina (U of Birmingham)

Upstreamness

• Let’s denote the total output of the industry Y and the value of this output that goes to final uses F. We can express each industry’s output as:

• where is the value of inputs from industry i that are required by industry j to produce $1 of output and N is the number of industries

Page 25: PRODUCTION FRAGMENTATION, UPSTREAMNESS, AND VALUE ADDED EVIDENCE FROM FACTORY ASIA 1985-2005 Tadashi Ito (IDE-JETRO) Pierre-Louis Vézina (U of Birmingham)

Upstreamness

• If we replace repeatedly the output terms on the right-hand side we get:

Page 27: PRODUCTION FRAGMENTATION, UPSTREAMNESS, AND VALUE ADDED EVIDENCE FROM FACTORY ASIA 1985-2005 Tadashi Ito (IDE-JETRO) Pierre-Louis Vézina (U of Birmingham)

Upstreamness

• Industry i’s upstreamness is akin to a weighted average of its sales along the production process, where the weights are the production distances to Final use.

• The intuition is that the more sales are used as inputs in faraway industries, the more upstream the industry

Page 28: PRODUCTION FRAGMENTATION, UPSTREAMNESS, AND VALUE ADDED EVIDENCE FROM FACTORY ASIA 1985-2005 Tadashi Ito (IDE-JETRO) Pierre-Louis Vézina (U of Birmingham)

Upstreamness

• Antras et al. (2012) show that, in matrix form, where is a column vector of ones and is a matrix with in entry (i,j):

𝑈 𝑖=[ 𝐼−∆ ]−11

The smile curve

• The data suggests that the early middle of the stream is where production contributes less to the total value added embedded in a final product

Page 36: PRODUCTION FRAGMENTATION, UPSTREAMNESS, AND VALUE ADDED EVIDENCE FROM FACTORY ASIA 1985-2005 Tadashi Ito (IDE-JETRO) Pierre-Louis Vézina (U of Birmingham)

Conclusion

1. Is Chinese production really only about adding cents of value to intermediate inputs?

No.

2. Is China adding so little value to Barbie dolls because its stage is at the downstream end of the production chain?

Probably not.

Page 37: PRODUCTION FRAGMENTATION, UPSTREAMNESS, AND VALUE ADDED EVIDENCE FROM FACTORY ASIA 1985-2005 Tadashi Ito (IDE-JETRO) Pierre-Louis Vézina (U of Birmingham)

But is international fragmentation linked to growth?
