This document outlines the program for a webinar on Finland in global value chains. The webinar will include opening remarks, a presentation of project results and report by representatives from Statistics Finland and OECD, and a comment from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The project used microdata linking between business and trade data to provide new insights into Finland's integration into global value chains. It found that the foreign content of exports is higher than previously estimated, services have grown in exports, and that larger firms and multinationals rely more on imports but can help smaller firms through upstream integration.

2. Arvonlisäperusteinen
ulkomaankauppa
– Projektia suunniteltaessa vuonna 2018
globalisaation vastustus ja protektionismi olivat jo
nostaneet päätään
– Ulkomaankaupasta ja yritysten arvoketjuista
tarvitaan uutta ja syvällisempää tietoa mm.
talous- ja kauppapolitiikan tarpeisiin
– Projekti on ollut kansainvälisesti merkittävä askel
uudenlaiselle tilastoinnille
– Yhdistetty OECD:n ja TK:n aiempi kehitystyö ja
osaaminen
– Yhdistetään laajasti mikro- ja makrotason
aineistoja
– Yhdistetty yritykset ja niissä työskentelevät
henkilöt arvoketjujen työpaikkavaikutusten
kuvaamiseksi

Nordic Countries in GVCs, 2017
– Input-output tables (34 industries) and business data for 2009 and 2013
– Then ground-breaking in terms of collaboration: firm level data are linked to
OECD IO tables to create indictors
– Programmes executed by collaborators in different statistical offices
– Highlights the differences in how firms GVCs: multinationals vs non-
multinational, SMEs, trading status
Joint Publication OECD-Tilastokeskus, 2020
-Enhanced statistical inputs (MDL, FLEED/FLOK, Employment)
-Widened research scope: Includes new dimensions of firm characteristics : firm
productivity, high growth, young and old
- Provides insights on jobs, wages, skills and gender
- The report focuses on main messages but considerable additional information has
been generated that can be capitalised on in follow-up research

17. What do we want to know?
17Statistics Finland11 June, 2020
– Reliance on imports for exports – are there differences related to firm size
or ownership?
– The rise of service industries – who will replace declining exports in
manufacturing industries?
– Exports and spillover effects – do small firms benefit from large firms´
exports?
– Employment and GVCs – who benefits from trade and GVC participation?
– Wages and GVCs – what are the effects of trade participation on income
and income disparities?
18. The foreign content of Finland’s exports is 10
percentage points higher than previously estimated
18Tilastokeskus11.6.2020
19. Higher recorded foreign content shares results in
lower recorded export intensity shares
19Tilastokeskus11.6.2020
– But export intensities in individual
industries remain high relative to
other countries
20. Services industries as a whole now outweigh
manufacturing industries
20Tilastokeskus11.6.2020
– Domestic value-
added exports
have grown in
many services
industries
– Especially in those
were Finland has
strong
comparative
advantages, such
as IT services.
– FDI and ‘born
globals’ have been
important drivers
21. Size matters – but having big friends can mitigate
size-class biases
21Tilastokeskus11.6.2020
– Size class
disadvantages in
economies of
scale
– Upstream
integration to
spread gains
from trade
Foreign content share of exports by firm size and dependence, 2018
22. Size matters – exposure to foreign markets is not
uniformly spread
22Tilastokeskus11.6.2020
– Larger firms are
much more
‘global’
– Micro firms
have a
particularly high
exposure to
Russia
24. Globalisation looks like a smoking gun for job losses
in many manufacturing industries…
24Tilastokeskus11.6.2020
– Manufacturing
industries shed
around 80,000
jobs (around 20%)
– Computers and
electronics
(17,600) and
textiles (4,400);
both shed over
30% of their total
employment
25. …but globalisation has also provided a source of
significant services jobs growth
25Tilastokeskus11.6.2020
26. Multinationals have played an important role in
sustaining jobs dependent on foreign demand
26Tilastokeskus11.6.2020
– Over 45% of jobs in
multinationals are
sustained by
exports
– Interestingly,
Swedish
multinationals
employed more
workers (91,000)
than Finnish
multinationals
(86,000) in 2016
27. Job gains through GVC participation are not
spread evenly: high-skilled workers benefit most
27Tilastokeskus11.6.2020
– Two-way traders
employed
proportionally
more high-skilled
workers
– The same goes
for both domestic
and foreign
MNEs
28. Job gains through GVC participation are not
spread evenly: men benefit more
28Tilastokeskus11.6.2020
– Men benefit
disproportionally
more than women
from employment
embodied in
exports
– This largely reflects
lower female
participation in
export-intensive
industries
30. Two-way traders pay significantly higher salaries
than the average firm, across nearly all industries…
30Tilastokeskus11.6.2020
– … while non-GVC
participating firms
tend to pay lower
salaries than the
average firm
– Two-way traders
pay average
salaries of 49,000
compared to 32,000
for occasional
traders
31. The higher the degree of GVC integration, the
lower the wage disparities
31Tilastokeskus11.6.2020
– Industries more
highly exposed to
GVCs have smaller
wage disparities
between the top
10% and the
bottom 10%
32. Wages disparities are lower within exporting firms but
there are signs these are increasing
32Tilastokeskus11.6.2020
33. … with the lowest earners falling behind
33Tilastokeskus11.6.2020
– Pay gaps are
especially skewed
for the bottom 10%
of earners in non-
GVC participating
firms
– Moreover, wages
for the bottom 10%
have seen little
change in the last
decade across all
firm types
34. Women work disproportionately in lower-wage
industries, with only indirect links to GVCs
34Tilastokeskus11.6.2020
– Women typically
work in lower-paid
activities with limited
links to GVCs or
those that have been
adversely exposed
to foreign
competition (e.g.
textiles) >> meaning
that they have
benefited less from
the gains from trade.
35. Early spotlight on
covid-19
An application: which firms and workers are hit
hardest by ‘containment measures’ due to covid-19?
35Tilastokeskus11.6.2020
36. Covid-19: disrupted global supply chains will
likely directly affect larger manufacturing firms
36Tilastokeskus11.6.2020
– High integration of
manufacturing
sector
– The direct impact
of disruption in
global supply
chains is likely to
be more limited in
other parts of the
economy
– However,
upstream suppliers
especially to
manufacturing, will
be affected
indirectly
Finnish GVC integration by industry, 2018
37. Covid-19: containment measures1 have
distributional impacts
37Tilastokeskus11.6.2020
1either imposed by the
government or through changes
in consumer behaviour
– Micro firms without
affiliates operate in
strongly consumer-
oriented services
industries
– So, SMEs, which
typically have limited
cash reserves, are
particularly
vulnerable to a
prolonged lockdown
38. Conclusions
38Tilastokeskus11.6.2020
– Helped shed more light on inclusive globalisation → highly relevant
policy goal.
– Moved the needle away from averages to better address
distributional impacts.
– Collaboration with Statistics Finland has demonstrated feasibility and
benefits of tapping into and making BETTER USE OF EXISTING
data.
– We hope that that will help motivate uptake of similar initiatives in,
and collaborations with, other countries

40. Level breakdown by firm type
40Tilastokeskus11.6.2020
– Recognised the strong demand for foreign ownership breakdowns (i.e. the role of
MNEs)
– Separately identifies ‘independent’ SME and SME establishmentsthat are part of a
larger group
– Cross tabulation is encouraged, i.e. by size and ownership, by size and trading status
– No need to disaggregate every column in SUTs: i.e. non-business sector activities
(unless significant shares are provided by the private sector); limited heterogeneity in
certain industries in practice; or confidentiality
– Consider alternative aggregations (for example by grouping industries) might
provide avenues for providing more meaningful insights on production
– Definition of 'export intensive' & SMEs – can be country specific
– Inter-firm relationships is most important challenges: VAT registrations, reporters to
include the counterpart VAT number for each transaction
– Capital flow matrix
– Good practice to conduct sensitivity analyses
41. Beyond value-added lines
41Tilastokeskus11.6.2020
– Jobs and compensation (and its distribution)
– With breakdowns by job quality and employee characteristics
– Natural environment (CO2 and other air emissions)
– Information on the distribution (or redistribution) of income accounts
by industry and firm type, using FDI and repatriated earnings etc.
