Renminbi appreciation and Global Value Chains in China: exploring the linkages / Bowles, Paul; Wang, Baotai   Journal Article
Bowles, Paul Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract China has experienced a rapid integration into Global Value Chains and a decade long appreciation of its exchange rate. However, these trends have been analysed largely in isolation from each other. In this paper, we explore the linkages between the two based on interviews with a sample of firms in Jiangsu Province. We show (1) how the distribution of the costs and benefits of exchange rate appreciation depends on the power hierarchies between firms in GVCs; (2) how exchange rate changes are important drivers of upgrading and even downgrading in GVCs; and (3) that the firm heterogeneity evident in GVCs provides additional insights into the politics of exchange rate determination in China.
