Abstract

This paper investigates the impact of trade tariffs on the global value chains (GVCs) embeddedness across 42 economies during the period 2007-2021. We employ empirical analysis to discern the nuanced effects of trade tariffs on GVCs embeddedness, with a focus on asymmetries between developed and developing countries and variations across industry sectors. Our findings reveal a significant dampening effect of trade tariffs on GVCs embeddedness, particularly pronounced in developing countries and the secondary industry sector. The exacerbating influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on the inhibitory relationship between trade tariffs and GVCs embeddedness is also considered, highlighting intensified effects, especially within developing countries and secondary industries.
