Global value chains and development. The presentation discusses:
1. The rise of global value chains, with 80% of world trade now in intermediate goods and concentration in fewer large suppliers.
2. Concepts of value chain mapping, governance and upgrading are introduced as tools to examine participation in the global economy.
3. Kazakhstan faces the challenge of economic diversification beyond oil and gas, which currently make up over 70% of exports, leaving the economy exposed to commodity price volatility.

The New Global Economy
Old World of Trade (pre-1980)
โข Countries trade finished goods
โข Build national industries (ISI)
New World of Trade
โข Countries trade intermediate goods; imports needed to export
โข Join global industries (EOI)
Trends
โ GVCs ๏ 80% of world trade (UNCTAD, WIR 2013)
โ Rise of intermediate goods trade (import content of exports): 20% in
1990; 40% in 2010; 60% in 2030 (P. Lamy, WTO)
โ Consolidation within GVCs in fewer, larger suppliers
โ Concentration of production and consumption in relatively few large
emerging economies

TYPES OF CHAINS:
Inter-Firm Networks in the Global Economy
โข Global Supply Chains: LOGISTICS (1970s & 1980s)
โ Logistics (transportation focus: reduce time + costs)
โ Trade Facilitation (lower barriers at the border)
โข Global Commodity Chains: LEAD FIRMS (1990s)
โ Producer-driven chains: Trade + FDI (e.g., aircraft, autos, mining,
oil)
โ Buyer-driven chains: Trade w/o FDI (retailers, global brands,
manufacturers without factories)
โข Global Value Chains: CREATING & CAPTURING VALUE-
ADDED (2000s)
โ Create, capture & sustain domestic value added
โข Regional Value Chains: EMERGING ECONOMIES (2010s)
โ Growing in importance, esp. since 2008-09 and in emerging
economies.

Global value chain analysis provides both conceptual and
methodological tools for examining the global economy
โข Top-down: a focus on lead firms and inter-firm
networks, using varied typologies of industrial
โgovernanceโ
โข Bottom-up: a focus on countries and regions, which
are analyzed in terms of various trajectories of
economic, social and environmental โupgradingโ (or
โdowngradingโ)

FRUIT & VEGETABLES VALUE CHAIN (SIMPLIFIED)
Analyzing the position of different countries in the value chain can allow you to identify
countries that have successfully upgrading & then examine the policies and changes they
implemented to successfully achieve that functional upgrading.

China assembles all iPods, but it only gets about $4 per
unit โ or just over 1% of the US retail price of $300
451 parts that go into the iPod
The retail
value of the
30-gigabyte
video iPod
that the
authors
examined
was $299 in
June, 2007
The bulk of the iPodโs value is in the conception and design of the iPod. That is why Apple gets $80
for each of these video iPods it sells, which is by far the largest piece of value added in the entire
supply chain. Apple figured out how to combine 451 mostly generic parts into a valuable product.
Hard Drive by Toshiba ๏ Japanese company, most of its hard drives made in
the Philippines and China; it costs about $73 - $54 in parts and labor -- so the
value that Toshiba added to the hard drive was $19 plus its own direct labor
costs
Video/multimedia processor chip by Broadcom๏ American company
with manufactures facilities in Taiwan. This component costs $8.
Controller chip by Portal Player๏ American company with
manufactures .This component costs $5 .
-Final assembly๏ done in China, costs only about $4 a unit
The unaccounted-for parts and labor costs involved in
making the iPod came to about $110
The largest share of the value added in the iPod goes to
enterprises in the United States๏ $163 of the iPodโs $299 retail
value in the United States was captured by American companies
and workers, breaking it down to $75 for distribution and retail
costs, $80 to Apple, and $8 to various domestic component
makers.

Kazakhstan: A Failing Quest for Economic Diversification
โข Growth in the last decade has been
impressive (Felipe and Rhee 2013)
โ 10% annual GDP growth between 2000 and
2007
โ Per capita income reached the World Bank
threshold for high-income countries ($12,000),
in 2012
โข However, Kazakhstanโs growth remains
exposed to volatile global commodity
prices
โข 8.7% of Kazakhstan's exports in 1995
were in crude/refined petroleum and
natural gas. By 2010, the figure had
reached 70%
โข Apart from oil and gas, Kazakhstan
remains dependent on primary
commodities such as iron, copper, gold,
uranium and silver among others

VALUE CHAIN UPGRADING AND
LOCAL DEVELOPMENT POLICIES
The GVC framework suggests ways to enhance the
competitiveness of local economic clusters:
โข Focus on quality and high-value activities in order to
move up global value chains
โข Target MNCs that will strengthen countryโs GVCs and
create dynamic local linkages
โข Strengthen the role of domestic suppliers and use
TNCs as learning platforms
โข Workforce development โ skills for upgrading
โข Regional integration โ for productive upgrading
