What is best practice in developing the international classifications underpinning trade measurement – including product codes for goods, classifications for services and their relationship to sectors?

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.
