First Conference on Global Value Chains, Trade and Development

The production of most goods is increasingly organized along global value chains, in which different stages of the production process are fragmented across countries. The Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR) has recently established a Research Network on Global Value Chains, Trade and Development, with the goal of stimulating research on the important and timely questions raised be the emergence of global value chains. The World Bank has also identified as a key priority to help developing countries to connect to, and develop through global value chains. CEPR and the World Bank have decided to join forces to foster debate and collaborations in this area among researchers in both academic and policy institutions.

The first conference on Global Value Chains, Trade and Development will be held at the World Bank in Washington, DC, on March 30-31, 2016. The conference is organized by Paola Conconi (Director of the CEPR Research Network on Global Value Chains, Trade and Development) and Daria Taglioni (Global Solution Lead on Global Value Chains of the World Bank’s Trade and Competitiveness Global Practice).
