The course is targeted at
trade statisticians and economist-statisticians, involved in the compilation of
trade-related statistics and/or the analysis of international trade.
The course addresses the
concept and the statistical approach of Trade in Value Added (TiVA) as well as the
different ways to assess the impact of Global Value Chains (GVCs) on trade.
Individual sessions will cover a wide range of topics related to TiVA and GVCs.
The first day of the training will be devoted to the role of the WTO to foster
the integration of developing economies in GVCs as well as the key trade policy
messages arising from TiVA. The next days will focus on the statistics and
methodology underlying TiVA data as well as the detailed presentation of TiVA-GVC
indicators most commonly used for trade analysis.
