    Abstract: Increased robot use, fuelled by price declines and the increased dexterity of these machines, is expected to affect existing/future production technologies and the organisation of production within GVCs. In order to safeguard their competitiveness in an increasingly digitalised global economy, governments across OECD and emerging economies are implementing a range of policy measures/programmes to support the investment in and use of robotics. This paper assesses the extent to which robotics impact the organisation of production through offshoring and backshoring. The results indicate that the use of industrial robots in developed economies appears to be slowing the offshoring rates, although it is not yet prompting firms to bring jobs back home. However, the effect is very recent, especially in labour-intensive sectors, and not yet apparent in developing countries. The findings suggest the rate of global value chain expansion may be slower than in the past.

    Abstract: Because of their numerous and large activities across different countries, Multinational Enterprises (MNEs) are believed to be central and dominant actors in the global economy. In addition, it has been argued that the growing fragmentation of production within global value chains (GVCs) in the past decades is largely driven by MNEs. It is remarkable then that despite their acclaimed importance, empirical evidence on MNEs is not widely available and largely incomplete, with data only available for a subset of OECD economies. Based on the new OECD analytical AMNE database including information on MNEs across 43 industries and countries on a bilateral basis, this paper derives new insights on the importance of MNEs today. As the new database also allows the linking with the OECD TiVA database, the new evidence additionally discusses in detail the trade and investment nexus within GVCs and suggests that MNEs’ role in GVCs goes beyond trade and investment policy.

    Abstract: With the emergence of global value chains (GVCs), production processes are increasingly fragmented and dispersed across different countries. Although many MNEs still exhibit an important ‘home bias’ in their global innovation activities, a growing number of firms have offshored R&D and innovative activities to foreign locations. Is the more recent offshoring of R&D and innovation linked to the prior waves of manufacturing offshoring? The fear in OECD economies is that because of co-location effects between production and innovative activities, the loss of certain manufacturing/assembly activities may result in a loss of innovative capabilities (R&D, design, etc.) in the longer-term. The offshoring of R&D and innovation within GVCs poses new challenges to economic policy in OECD and emerging economies. For example, how can countries attract inward R&D investments by foreign MNEs? Should outward R&D investments by MNEs be a concern for the countries in which the MNEs are headquartered?

    Keywords: Science and Technology
    Abstract: Le constat que les entreprises (manufacturières) des économies de l’OCDE rapatrient de plus en plus leurs activités manufacturières dans leur propre pays a suscité beaucoup d’intérêt ces dernières années. Quelques exemples de grandes entreprises multinationales ayant suivi cette voie ont reçu un large écho, et ainsi donné une visibilité accrue au phénomène de la relocalisation tant dans la presse (économique) que dans le cadre des travaux menés par les universitaires et des discussions entre responsables de l’action publique. Le débat sur la relocalisation (souvent appelée aussi « rapatriement », « délocalisation de voisinage » et « relocalisation de proximité ») est très intense, certains affirmant même que le temps des délocalisations est révolu. Cependant des désaccords profonds s’expriment à propos de l’ampleur effective de cette tendance pour les économies, en particulier au sujet du nombre d’emplois que la relocalisation est censée rapatrier. Alors que les décideurs politiques des économies de l’OCDE espèrent que la relocalisation pourrait aider à redynamiser leur industrie manufacturière en perte de vitesse, la justification de mesures en faveur de la relocalisation n’est pas claire.

    Abstract: The news that companies in OECD economies are increasingly bringing manufacturing activities back home has attracted a lot of attention in recent years. Headline cases of a number of large multinational companies have given increased visibility to the phenomenon of reshoring in the economic press, academic research and policy discussions.. The debate on re-shoring (often also called “backshoring”, “nearshoring”, “onshoring”) is very lively with some even arguing that the time of offshoring has come to an end. But considerable disagreement exists about how important this trend actually is for economies in particular the number of jobs that reshoring is supposed to bring back. While policy makers in OECD economies hope that reshoring might help to revitalise their slumping manufacturing industries, the rationale for policy measures around reshoring is not clear-cut.

    Parallel Title: Parallelausg. Mesurer la mondialisation à l'aide des tableaux internationaux d'entrées-sorties
    Keywords: Science and Technology
    Abstract: One of the distinctive characteristics of the current globalisation process is the emergence of global value chains. Within global value chains and international production networks, not only are final goods traded internationally, but intermediate goods (parts and components) and, in recent years, services also increasingly are. This trend significantly alters the economic relations between countries and increasingly casts doubt on empirical indicators such as trade and FDI that are traditionally used to measure globalisation. Input-output tables may provide much finer detail in describing current globalisation as they offer information on the use of goods instead of the rather arbitrary classification schemes that divide goods into intermediate and other categories. Moreover, input-output tables also incorporate information on the use of services, enabling measurement of the increasing offshoring of service activities in today's business activities. Based on the OECD Input-Output Database, which includes harmonised tables for 38 countries (of which 10 emerging non-OECD economies), this paper brings together empirical evidence on the growing importance of global value chains and the increasing interdependence between countries. Input-output indicators are presented for individual countries and individual industries, aiming to demonstrate the changing characteristics of current globalisation.

    Parallel Title: Parallelausg. The Measurement of Globalisation using International Imput-Outpout Tables
    Keywords: Science and Technology
    Abstract: L'une des principales caractéristiques de la mondialisation à l'oeuvre actuellement est l'émergence de chaînes de valeur mondiales. Le long de ces chaînes et à l'intérieur des réseaux de production internationaux, ce sont non seulement des biens finals qui font l'objet d'échanges internationaux, mais également de plus en plus des biens intermédiaires (pièces et composants) et, ces dernières années, des services. Cette évolution modifie en profondeur les relations économiques entre les pays et remet de plus en plus en question les indicateurs empiriques comme ceux du commerce et de l'IDE qui sont habituellement utilisés pour mesurer la mondialisation. Les tableaux d'entrées-sorties peuvent permettre d'affiner la description de la mondialisation en cours car ils renseignent sur les biens d'après leur utilisation au lieu de proposer des classifications arbitraires qui les subdivisent en biens intermédiaires et d'autres catégories. De plus, les tableaux d'entrées-sorties contiennent de l'information sur l'utilisation des services, ce qui permet de mesurer la délocalisation croissante des services dans les activités des entreprises aujourd'hui. À partir de la base de données entrées-sorties de l'OCDE, qui comprend des tableaux harmonisés pour 38 pays (dont 10 pays émergents non membres de l'Organisation), le présent document rassemble des données concrètes sur l'importance croissante des chaînes de valeur mondiales et l'interdépendance de plus en plus étroite des pays. Des indicateurs d'entrées-sorties sont présentés pour les différents pays et industries, dans le but de démontrer l'évolution des caractéristiques de la mondialisation que nous observons actuellement.
