Database Specific
Database Specific Abstract AbstractThe Trade in Value Added (TiVA) database consists of a set of measures that aim to provide better insights into global production networks and supply chains than is possible with conventional trade statistics. See TiVA.
The Origin of value added in gross imports presented here, is derived from the latest version of OECD’s Inter-Country Input-Output (ICIO) database and provides estimates of gross imports by country c of goods and services from industry i in partner country/region p broken down by value added originating from source country/region s.
In other words, the four dimensions link the imports of country c to the value added originating from country s and embodied in the exports of industry i in exporting country p. For each country, it reveals how the gross imports value of intermediate and final products, from a particular partner, is an accumulation of value generated by many countries.
The method used for calculating these estimates, from the ICIO, is described in the TiVA indicators guide.
A range of gross imports-based measures can be derived from this dataset, including the following found in the main TiVA indicators database:
• Total gross imports by industry, IMGR (c, i): set exporting country p = World and source country s = World.
• Domestic value added content of gross imports by partner and industry, IMGR_DVA (c, i, p): set source country s = importing country c.
• Share of IMGR_DVA related to IMGR: IMGR_DVAsh (c, i, p).
It is worth noting that the same value added originating from source country s can be present in the gross imports of more than one importing country c (as embodied value added from upstream production may cross national borders many times). In general, therefore, these estimates should be viewed from the perspective of an importing country c.
