Abstract: This paper has critically documented a vast literature addressing the multi-layered outcomes associated with participating in global value chains (GVCs). In particular, this paper reviews and synthesizes the definitions and quantitative measures of one particular dimension of the GVC analysis that is two-fold: the economic and social upgrading. More specifically, we discuss the economic perspective of upgrading, which is usually associated with “moving into higher value-added stages”, and it is commonly assume… Show more

“…GVC upgrading is mostly framed in terms of comparative performance in capturing a greater share of value-added along international supply chains. This understanding ignores the dynamics related to the pace of technological change and does not address the social dimension of upgrading, or its political implications (see Baltar, 2020). Moreover, the potential gains regarding knowledge creation and absorption may be crucial to maximizing the benefits of participating in international production chains.…”

“…However, while the characterization of countries in global chains, their evolution and their relationship to economic performance (economic upgrading) has been widely discussed in the literature, it is only recently that the implications for social upgrading have been studied (Smichowski et al, 2021;Marcato and Baltar, 2017). And as far as we know, there are very few studies that have connected metrics of GVC participation with income inequality.…”
