Sažetak
Integration into global value chains (GVCs) provides opportunities
for economic development, but the extent and nature of these
opportunities differ across countries. The economic impact of a
country’s participation in GVCs can be modified by domestic institutional arrangements in a variety of ways depending on the
types of GVCs. Most recent empirical and correlational studies
assume that causality leads to economic growth through the participation of GVCs and institutions, but an inverse relationship
between them is also feasible and only a few studies have analyzed this possibility. Using a large panel data set of sixty countries from 2000 to 2016, this paper contributes to closing these
gaps using instrumental variable analysis as an empirical strategy.
Key findings include that GDP per capita is positively affected by
participation in GVCs and that this effect is greater when such
participation is accompanied by institutional facilitation. These
findings suggest that participation in GVCs accompanied by wellfunctioning domestic institutions can be highly effective in
enhancing countries’ economic growth.
