LANDA ARROYO, Yuri. Mining resources in global value chains. Prob. Des [online]. 2019, vol.50, n.199, pp.31-58.  Epub June 19, 2020. ISSN 0301-7036.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iiec.20078951e.2019.199.68330.

This article identifies at an industrial-national level which global value chains make intensive use of mining, demonstrating additionally which companies are leading this phenomenon and what countries have elevated their position to greater added value. Calculations were performed using input-out analysis methods, complemented by network theory algorithms, and were based on international input-output tables produced by the OECD which provide information for 33 economic sectors in 63 countries for the period from 1995 to 2011. The evidence shows escalating cases towards more sophisticated links in global value chains (GVC) in the extractive sectors of Brunei, Indonesia and Malaysia.

Keywords : mining; global value chains; industrialization; input-output tables; social network theory; world consumption.
