Abstract

The paper examines the dynamic impact of GVCs on productivity growth in 14 Asian economies, from 1995 to 2016. OECD and Asia Productivity Organisation data show that in the last few decades there has been a rapid expansion of GVCs in the majority of the Asian economies. We employ the panel Auto-regressive Distributed Lag method to empirically evaluate the impact of GVCs participation on ‘total factor productivity growth’ and ‘labor productivity growth’. The empirical results point to the significant effect of GVCs on domestic productivity growth in the long run in the selected Asian economies, while the effect on labor productivity growth is larger than that on total factor productivity growth. However, GVCs does not affect it in the short-run. If excluded the six high-income economies and only focused on the middle-income countries, we find forward GVCs promotes domestic productivity in long run, while the backward GVCs does not.
