Intermediate trade in global value chains and its role in final demand, price and business cycle co-movement

This study assessed ASEAN-4 participation in regional value chain as downstream suppliers and their external trade relations with the upstream suppliers China and Japan. The first objective examines the relationship between final demand and intermediate imports at aggregated and disaggregated levels...
