“…Some studies considered servicification as an essential structural shift in domestic and international production networks (Lodefalk, 2015). For example, Lodefalk (2013) Kelle et al 2013;Kelle and Kleniert 2010) and France (Crozet & Milet 2014). But few studies have focused on the servicification of manufacturing in developing countries.…”

“…Moreover, servicification enables manufacturing firms of OECD countries to upgrade from low-end fabrication tasks to high-end service jobs (e.g., the factory-less goods producers), which upgrades their positions in GVCs (Lodefalk, 2017). Last but not the least, servicification also improves the performance of manufacturing firms with higher productivity (Anukoonwattaka, Scagliusi, & Mikic, 2015;Nordås 2010) more diversified exporting varieties (Kelle, Kleinert, Raff, & Toubal 2013), better access to foreign market (Lodefalk, 2017) and larger profits (Mastrogiacomo, Barravecchia, Franceschini, 2017).…”

This paper investigates the trend of servicification in global value chains (GVCs). The degree of servicification is measured as the share of service value added in manufacturing exports. Service inputs are either from domestic market or from foreign countries, which are measured by the domestic servicification and the foreign servicification, respectively. Using the international input–output tables from 1995 to 2011, we estimate the degree of servicification across 61 countries with a focus on Asian nations which have been rarely studied in previous research. We observed an evident trend of servicification in manufacturing in the Asian countries, especially in the 16 countries associated with Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP). Asian countries tend to have a lower level of domestic servicification but a higher level of foreign servicification than OECD countries. We also identified five key factors in driving the trend of servicification. Countries with broader participation and lower positions in GVCs tend to have higher levels of foreign servicification in manufacturing. Improvements in information and communication technology (ICT) also raise the level of foreign servicification. However, countries with a larger supply of service workers, better regulation quality and less government governance have a higher level of domestic servicification in manufacturing.

“…The main focus of this paper is examination of the choice of modes of delivery in services based on data on US services trade, including both cross‐border exports and production and sales through foreign affiliates of US firms. In this sense, we fit into the recent stream of research building on national data on services trade, such as Breinlich and Criscuolo () with UK data and Kelle () with German data. However, while recent literature has focused on the characteristics of exporting firms, we instead focus on the characteristics of destination markets and how this impacts on firm decisions on mode of delivery and on whether to establish affiliates in given destination markets.…”

We examine the choice of modes of delivery in services based on U.S. data, including both cross border exports and sales through foreign affiliates. We focus on characteristics of destination markets and how this impacts on mode choice. We find that market size, distance, and policy all play a role in where firms establish, and in how many firms enter. The importance of sales through affiliates relative to total foreign sales also depends on factors like market size, geographic and economic distance, and the policy regime in place. Precisely how important these factors are depends on the sector in question.

“…Recent firm-level studies on several large EU economies reveal important similarities between goods and services trade on the micro level (Breinlich and Criscuolo, 2011, Federico and Tosti, 2012, Kelle et al, 2013and Temouri et al, 2013. Similar to trade in goods, trade in services is also concentrated among a small group of traders.…”

The goal of this chapter is to summarize the state of the art in research in international trade and global production, and discuss issues relevant to European policymakers. Much of recent research on globalization is primarily empirical, owing to the proliferation of available data. We begin by discussing recent advances in measuring the causes and effects of globalization, and discussing the particular data challenges that have emerged. We then turn to theories of trade and global production, first summarizing the conclusions on which there is a broad consensus in the field. We discuss new insights that may be relevant for policy-makers, and open research questions. 6.
