Resumo: This paper has critically documented a vast literature addressing the multi-layered outcomes associated with participating in global value chains (GVCs). In particular, this paper reviews and synthesizes the definitions and quantitative measures of one particular dimension of the GVC analysis that is two-fold: the economic and social upgrading. More specifically, we discuss the economic perspective of upgrading, which is usually associated with “moving into higher value-added stages”, and it is commonly assumed to be followed by positive spillovers regarding technology and productivity. This paper emphasizes the important diversity of definitions and measures within the GVC literature, considering it as a reflection, to a certain extent, of the absence of a systematic theoretical apparatus in the GVC literature. The paper concludes with some considerations on the role of policymakers in promoting social upgrading as an important topic in the GVC research agenda.

Em particular, este artigo analisa as definições e medidas quantitativas de uma dimensão particular da análise de CGVs que possui duas facetas: o upgrading econômico e social. Mais especificamente, discute-se a perspectiva econômica do upgrading, que é usualmente associada a “atuar em estágios de maior valor adicionado”, e supõe-se que seja seguido por transbordamentos positivos em relação à tecnologia e produtividade. Este artigo enfatiza a diversidade de definições e medidas de upgrading econômico, considerando-a como um reflexo, até certo ponto, da ausência de um aparato teórico sistemático. O artigo conclui com algumas considerações sobre o papel dos formuladores de políticas econômicas na promoção do upgrading social e sua importância como tópico de pesquisa para a literatura de CGVs.Universidade Estadual de Campinas2020-03-05info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionTextinfo:eu-repo/semantics/otherapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/rbi/article/view/865435910.20396/rbi.v19i0.8654359Revista Brasileira de Inovação; Vol. 19 (2020): Continuous Publication; e020002Revista Brasileira de Inovação; Vol. 19 (2020): Publicação Contínua; e020002Revista Brasileira de Inovação; v. 19 (2020): Publicação Contínua; e0200022178-2822reponame:Revista Brasileira de Inovação (Online)instname:Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP)instacron:UNICAMPenghttps://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/rbi/article/view/8654359/22147https://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/rbi/article/view/8654359/29374Brasil; 21st centuryBrasil; Século XXICopyright (c) 2020 Revista Brasileira de Inovaçãohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMarcato, Marília BassettiBaltar, Carolina Troncoso2022-06-19T16:25:36Zoai:ojs.periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br:article/8654359Revistahttps://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/rbiPUBhttps://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/rbi/oai||rbi@ige.unicamp.br2178-28221677-2504opendoar:2022-06-19T16:25:36Revista Brasileira de Inovação (Online) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP)false
