“The Effect of Value Chain Importance on Regional Economic Recovery” by Zsófi Zádor
This talk investigated the link between value chain importance and economic growth for the EU24 regions between 2008 and 2018. It found that relying more on GVCs worsened regional growth during the financial crisis but led to higher growth in the long run. The results contribute to the literature on regional resilience and the public debate on the impact of shocks and the desirability of GVCs. Furthermore, by separately analysing the importance of global and regional value chains, it contributes to the discussion on the effect of regionalisation and provides insights into how the re-configuring of value chains may affect regional growth.
