Messages – Future work
• Need for more finegrained analysis, thus
need for more detailed data
–
reworking of existing data (BEC, IO, trade)…
– Collection new data
• To show importance and impact of GVCs
for research and policy
• Need for scaling up: international
comparable work
• Broad concept requires broad and diverse
data; richness of different data sources
