Contrary to previous work that neglects dependencies between suppliers in global value chains, we explicitly account for input linkages that impact both channels of productivity improvement. Using sector-level data from the World Input-Output Database, we show that market share reallocation has a markedly larger effect on productivity change than innovation.enginput-output analysismarket share reallocationproductivity decompositionproduction networktechnological improvementworkingpaperurn:nbn:de:bvb:473-irb-109446x
