The effects of tariff hikes in a world of global value chains

In the context of the trade conflict between the United States and China, global value chains (GVCs) are a potential factor amplifying the impact of higher tariffs on economic activity.

Key Points:

In the context of the trade conflict between the United States and China, global value chains (GVCs) are a potential factor amplifying the impact of higher tariffs on economic activity.
Raising tariffs in a globalised world with international supply chains can have significant negative repercussions on economic activity.
In general, global sourcing by firms implies that higher tariffs, usually imposed to protect a domestic industry, can lead to higher input costs for domestic producers.
[1] Against this background, this box provides some evidence of the adverse effects of tariffs on economic activity in the context of global sourcing and GVCs.
Chart A Evolution of GVC-related trade between 1995 and 2015 (global share of GVC-related exports in total (gross) exports, in %)

This is related to the fact that when allowing for global sourcing reductions in trade frictions not only lower the price of final goods but also the input costs faced by firms.
[4] Accounting in addition to this for a global multistage production structure, where production stages are organised sequentially across borders, may magnify the effects of tariffs.
[5] First, as goods cross borders multiple times in international multistage production processes, they may be taxed each time a border is crossed.
Second, tariffs are commonly levied on a goods total (gross) import value, instead of the value added in the most recent production stage.
As a result, the smaller the value added in the last production process (relative to its gross value), the larger the effective tariff rate applied to this production stage.
Empirical analysis suggests that tariff hikes can, over the medium term, significantly dampen the economic activity of industries which rely on foreign inputs.

Since the value of output accumulates along the value chain, ad valorem trade costs (like tariffs) are higher in absolute terms for downstream producers.
Both aspects suggest that downstream sectors can be expected to be especially sensitive to tariffs, which would be consistent with tariff magnification effects due to multistage production.
Empirical results indeed suggest that the sensitivity of trade to tariffs increases sharply with the foreign content in bilateral trade flows (see Chart C).
[10] These findings are therefore consistent with significant magnification effects of tariffs in the presence of sequentially organised international supply chains.
Chart C Sensitivity of exports to tariffs by backward linkages (estimated coefficients and 95% confidence intervals)

In the light of the above, GVCs are often thought to play a role in the current trade conflict between the United States and China by amplifying the effects of tariff hikes.
On the one hand, previous results suggest that tariffs that raise input costs can significantly dampen the output of sectors whose production processes rely on foreign intermediate goods.
[11] On the other hand, the importance of magnification effects due to global multistage production are less clear and depend on the predominance of GVC-related trade in bilateral trade relations.
