Gross Exports Versus Value-Added Exports: Determinants and Policy Implications for Manufacturing Sectors in Selected CEE Countries

This article assesses the impact of selected determinants on both value-added exports and gross exports for seven CEE economies, based on thirteen manufacturing subsectors for the years 1995–2011. The results show a decrease in domestic value-added, especially in high-tech industries. The impact of the determinants, except for vertical specialization, is similar for exports in value-added and in gross terms. The results indicate that labor productivity and highly skilled employees have a greater impact on generating domestic value-added. CEE countries do not achieve comparative advantages of a capital-intensive nature. Manufacturing does not serve a “carrier function” for services.
