| Abstract: With the rise of global value chains (GVCs), gross trade data tends to mask complex patterns of international production sharing. For 1995-2018, using the OECD Trade in Value Added (TiVA) database, this paper examines value-added components of gross exports by origin (home or abroad) to study the extent of GVC participation based on forward linkages (domestic value-added in foreign exports as share of a country's gross exports) and backward linkages (foreign value-added as share of a country's gross exports). For 2000 and 2007-2020, the Borin and Mancini (2019) exports decomposition framework adopted by ADB (2022) consolidated dataset for 25 economies in Asia and the Pacific helps quantify forward and backward GVC linkages in the primary, low-technology manufacturing, medium-to-high-technology manufacturing, business services, and personal and public services sectors. As previously demonstrated for an earlier time period, shares in participation gains in total value-added created within GVCs were found to be skewed towards the OECD and China. Though India's GVC participation rate has risen over time, it was lower than that of several economies in the Asia-Pacific region, and its relative share in the total participation gains was marginal. Nevertheless, India's relative share in forward GVC content from (and backward GVC content to) the region was not as peripheral. Revealed comparative advantage based on value-added exports yields further insights. Raising net participation gains (ratio of forward to backward linkages) at the sectoral level and seizing opportunities in GVCs in times of insecurity will require key enablers in a world where manufacturing processes are being rewired. |

Call for Papers: 20th Anniversary Globelics International Conference 2023 | Kerala, India
Call for Papers
The Globelics network was started twenty years ago with the first international conference held in Rio de Janeiro in 2003. The main aim of the Network was to focus on Learning, Innovation and Competence-building Systems (LICS) to understand the nexus between innovation and development. This 20th anniversary conference will use the opportunity to reflect on insights generated by the network and the future research agenda.
Episodes of development in economic history highlight the successful experience of countries that have managed to harness Learning, Innovation and Competence Building Systems at the global, national, subnational and sectoral levels to transform their social and economic structures for achieving prosperity. In current times, the constellation of innovations driven by rapid advances in digital technologies have given rise to a new technological revolution (commonly referred to as the fourth industrial revolution, or Industry 4.0) with profound impacts on all sectors of the economies and sections of societies. New and persisting developmental challenges have driven a renewed interest in types of innovation that highlight their impact on society and the natural environment, such as inclusive innovation, responsible innovation, transformative innovation, grassroots innovation and jugaad. At the core of all these approaches is how knowledge, both science-based and experience-based, is harnessed for addressing development challenges. The basic premise being the knowledge divide is at the root of the development divide.
At the current juncture wherein, globalisation is at a crossroads and the economies across the world, ravaged by the once in a century pandemic and external shocks, consider strengthening the innovation system as a strategic approach towards building resilience. Evidently, there is an across-the-board drive among the developing countries to transform their economies into innovation-driven knowledge economies. Such a transformation is often viewed as capable of building resilience by addressing many of the downsides of globalisation-induced high growth, like excessive exploitation of exhaustible resources and accentuated divides within and between countries. While such initiatives in India are manifested in Atal Innovation Mission (AIM), Digital India, Skill India, and Make in India, among others, in Kerala, the development strategy has been explicitly reoriented in terms of transforming the state to a knowledge economy. It is against this background that Globelics revisits India for the 20th Globelics International conference with the chosen central theme 'Innovation-Driven KnowledgeEconomies and Transformation in the Global South'.
The 20th Anniversary of Globelics is also an occasion to celebrate the journey of Globelics from Brazil 2003 to India 2023 and its varied achievements. At the same time, it is also a forum for critically reflecting on our perspective and the approaches inter alia in terms of its achievements and limits. This is especially important at the current juncture wherein there is growing disenchantment with the development experience under globalisation on the one hand and the need for reimagining the innovation system in the COVID and Post COVID world towards building the much needed resilience in the South. The selection of Kerala, which is known for its unique development experience (so called Kerala Model of development), as the location for such a deliberation could not have been more appropriate.
Globelics-India 2023 coincides with India's Presidency of G-20, which provides immense scope for translating the outcomes of the conference into policy action. In the past two decades, we have observed the increasing presence of Global South in shaping the paradigms and trajectories of global development agenda— sustainability, climate change, pandemic, energy security issues—all being closely linked to the research domains of the Globelics.
The 20th Globelics Conference intends to bring together scholars across disciplines from different parts of the world to pool together experiences and expertise to reflect on varied issues involved in transforming developing economies to sustainable, resilient and inclusive innovation-driven knowledge economies.
World-leading scholars will give this year's keynote address on innovation and development, and it is planned that the conference will be inaugurated by The Chief Minister of Kerala (to be confirmed). There will be a special keynote on the conference theme along with Globelics Lecture and Freeman Lecture. The conference will combine plenary sessions, presentations of research papers in parallel tracks, thematic panel sessions or special sessions, poster presentations, book presentation sessions, excursions and cultural events.
While we encourage submissions on the central theme of the conference, submissions on all the issues conventionally deliberated in the Globelics international conferences are also welcome. However, it is requested to articulate the issues by keeping in mind the broad theme of the conference.
Submissions are welcome on issues around the following themes:
1. Science, technology, innovation: Theory and policy for a knowledge economy
2. Transformative innovation, responsible innovation and mission-oriented innovation
3. Knowledge-driven development of national, regional, local and sectoral innovation systems, including Agricultural innovation systems and rural development
4. Measurement of the knowledge economy: Indicators, data requirements, different approaches and methodologies
5. Skilling for the knowledge economy: Industry-academy interaction, Intellectual property rights, open innovation and development
6. Industry 4.0 and development: Digitalization and automatization, productivity and employment implications, gig economy and quality of employment
7. Economic and social upgrading for sustainable Catch-up: trade policies, FDI, value chains and innovation networks in a knowledge-driven economy
