Abstract
This article uses panel data with 6,743 country-year observations to investigate the effects of participation in the global value chain (GVC) on export survival rate for the period 2005–2014. GVC participation is measured as the value addition embedded in exports, looking both backward and forward from a reference country. The empirical results show that both backward and forward linkages have positive effects on the chance of export survival; these effects are persistent and increasing over time, and they become more pronounced when taking the endogeneity issue into account. On the policy front, the preceding findings suggest that governments should implement policies to upgrade a country to GVC integration in order to enhance the sustainability of exports.
