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.

The services sector makes an important contribution to employment growth, productivity and innovation in OECD countries. This document looks specifically at business support services and their strong linkages with other sectors. It aims to identify factors, institutions and policies that affect the delivery of business support services and that could enhance growth prospects more broadly. It focuses mainly on issues related to productivity, standardisation and regulation, and trade.

Despite the attention that offshore outsourcing currently demands in the public media, there is little empirical evidence on its economic impact. As a consequence of rising fears of job losses associated with the phenomenon, most existing research on the subject is primarily concerned with addressing related labour market issues. The impacts on productivity, however, have received only little attention. This paper surveys the empirical literature on offshore outsourcing and its productivity effects.

With over 250 graphs, this book helps identify the economic activities of member countries that are under foreign control, and more particularly the contribution of multinational enterprises to growth, employment, productivity, labour compensation, R&D, technology diffusion and international trade. In so doing, it gauges the intensity and magnitude of the globalisation process, and sheds new light on financial, technological and trade interdependencies within OECD countries. This new volume builds upon the OECD Handbook on Economic Globalisation Indicators, published in June 2005.

China's WTO entry has implications for OECD industry. OECD exports of automobiles and ICT products may well increase and foreign investment in services should rise. Chinese exports of textiles, steel and consumer electronics may grow causing adjustments in world markets.
