The 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 web page at: http://oe.cd/tiva).

The Origin of value added in final demand presented here, is derived from the latest version of OECD’s Inter-Country Input-Output (ICIO) database (see web page http://oe.cd/io) and provides estimates of final demand in country c for industry i final goods and services, broken down by the value added originating from source industry j in source country s.

In other words, it reveals how the value of final demand goods and services consumed within a country is an accumulation of value generated by many industries in many countries.

For a description of the method used for calculating these estimates using the ICIO, please refer to the TiVA indicators guide.

Domestic value added origin is shown where source country s = c and, for convenience, also represented by source country = “DXD: Domestic”.

From this data cube, a range of final demand-based measures can be derived including those in TiVA principal indicators cube such as:

• Domestic value added embodied in foreign final demand, FFD_DVA and related partner shares FFD_DVApSH.

• Foreign value added embodied in domestic final demand, DFD_FVA and related partner shares DFD_FVApSH.
