wwz: Wang-Wei-Zhu Decomposition of Gross Exports

In decompr: Global Value Chain Decomposition

Wang-Wei-Zhu Decomposition of Gross Exports

Description

This function performs the Wang-Wei-Zhu decomposition of country-sector level gross exports into 16 value added components by importing country.

Usage

wwz(x, verbose = FALSE)

Arguments

x	an object of the class 'decompr' obtained from load_tables_vectors.
verbose	logical, should timings of the calculation be displayed? Default is FALSE

Details

Adapted from code by Fei Wang.

Value

A data frame with exports decomposed into 16 components (columns), as detailed in Table E1 in the appendix of the paper, and additional diagnostic items:

Term			Description
DVA_FIN			Domestic VA in final goods exports.
DVA_INT			Domestic VA in intermediate exports used by direct importer to produce domestic final goods consumed at home.
DVA_INTrexI1			Domestic VA in intermediate exports used by the direct importer to produce intermediate exports for production of final goods in third countries that are then imported and consumed by the direct importer.
DVA_INTrexF			Domestic VA in intermediate exports used by the direct importer to produce final goods exports to third countries.
DVA_INTrexI2			Domestic VA in Intermediate exports used by the direct importer to produce intermediate exports to third countries.
RDV_INT			Domestic VA in intermediate exports that returns via intermediate imports (i.e. is used to produce a locally consumed final good).
RDV_FIN			Domestic VA in intermediate exports that returns home via final goods imports from the direct importer.
RDV_FIN2			Domestic VA in intermediate exports that returns home via in final goods imports from third countries.
OVA_FIN			Third countries’ VA in final goods exports.
MVA_FIN			Direct importer’s VA in final goods exports.
OVA_INT			Third countries’ VA in intermediate exports.
MVA_INT			Direct importer’s VA in intermediate exports.
DDC_FIN			Double counted Domestic VA used to produce final goods exports.
DDC_INT			Double counted Domestic VA used to produce intermediate exports.
ODC			Double counted third countries’ VA in home country’s exports production.
MDC			Double counted direct importer’s VA in home country’s exports production.
Diagnostic Item			Description
texp			Total Exports (matrix 'ESR' from load_tables_vectors).
texpint			Exports for intermediate production (matrix 'Eint' from load_tables_vectors).
texpfd			Exports for final demand (matrix 'Efd' from load_tables_vectors).
texpdiff			Difference between Total Exports and the sum of the 16 terms.
texpdiffpercent			... in percent of total exports.
texpfddiff			Difference between Final Exports and the sum of terms DVA_FIN, OVA_FIN and MVA_FIN.
texpfddiffpercent			... in percent of final exports.
texpintdiff			Difference between Intermediate Exports and the sum of all the remaining terms (except DVA_FIN, OVA_FIN and MVA_FIN).
texpintdiffpercent			... in percent of intermediate exports.
DViX_Fsr			DVA embodied in gross exports based on forward linkage.
