|
| Type of participation in GVCs | Relative forwardness of GVC participation (GVCPF-GVCPB)/GVC | GVC Trade GVC Output |
At the global level the measure is equal to 0. It is bounded between -1 and 1. |
| Traditional Trade | Traditional trade of a country, crossing just one single border as share of total trade. | GVC Trade | Traditional trade in intermediate goods + traditional trade in final goods |
