Measuring interconnected economies: Launch of the 2021 OECD Inter-Country Input-Output (ICIO) and Trade in Value-Added (TiVA) Databases

The COVID-19 pandemic reignited a debate about the risks and opportunities associated with internationally fragmented supply chains. The  OECD’s Inter-Country Input-Output (ICIO) database is a versatile and flexible analytical tool that helps measure different dimensions of economic linkages between countries. The database underpins a wide range of applications related to global value chains (GVCs), including the measurement of trade in value added (TiVA), employment in GVCs, and trade in embodied CO₂, e.g. “carbon footprints” and global energy use.

The OECD presented the latest version of the ICIO and TiVA databases and explored a number of key applications and policy insights that can be derived from the data at a virtual event on 17 November opened by OECD Secretary-General Mathias Cormann and WTO Director General Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala.
