How are emerging digital services and technologies likely to affect the future of exports and supply chains across sectors?

Background

The world’s production capability across different sectors may be best understood in terms of global supply chains, for example as R&D takes place in one country and manufacturing in another. Further evidence should inform classification of sectors, measurement of value-addition, and challenge assumptions in our understanding of supply chains.
