Economic globalisation has typically been measured using trade and FDI statistics. However, the emergence of global value chains with products often fabricated in one country, assembled in a second and sold in a third country, challenges these traditional indicators. This paper shows how international input-output tables can be used to provide complementary indicators on the growing importance of these global value chains.

But not much is known about their paths on the labour market. This is why the OECD launched a project with the UNESCO Institute for Statistics and Eurostat to develop internationally comparable indicators on the careers and mobility of doctorate holders. This working paper presents the project's three main technical components.
