Capabilities, GVCs and productive complexity:
Comparing frameworks to explore the green transition and supply chain vulnerability
The workshop aims to explore the structural transformations and the accumulation/dispersion of capabilities within productive systems in this era of green transition and heightened supply chain vulnerability. The presentations will draw on standard input-output techniques for the analysis of global value chains, showcasing techniques and data. The morning’s talks will also cover frontier data, techniques and open methodological questions, exploring (i) the potential use of firm-level and trade data to link input-output tables to product-level information, (ii) the application of the Economic Fitness and Complexity approach to identify local and non-local capabilities; (iii) recent developments on supply chain reconstruction techniques; (iv) the role of geographical aggregation, from sub-national to national analysis.
