International Trade in Intermediate Inputs: The Case of the Automobile Industry
Markus Diehl
Abstract: International trade statistics and input-output tables are
analyzed in order to test the hypothesis that international production
networks have become more relevant. The share of imported inputs in the
gross output value of the motor vehicle industry has grown significantly
during the last two decades. Moreover, some low-income countries have
become strong exporters of automobile parts, but this trade is mainly
regional rather than global. Detailed results are presented in case studies
on four major producers (the United States, Japan, Germany and the UK).
