Abstract

During the past 30 years there has been growing interests in global value chains (GVC) across various disciplines including economics, business & management, economic geography, operational research, computer science, engineering, and so forth. In order to further explore GVC research, this paper employs bibliometric analysis based on co-occurrence network; specifically, it investigates the temporal evolution of disciplines and keywords co-occurrences, as well as the reference co-citation analysis between 1995 and 2014, in order to uncover the evolution of disciplines and research fronts, and identify the intellectual base of global value chains research.
