ABSTRACT
Experience over the past several years has shown that the economy of countries growing in their participation in global chains is accelerating. The statistical analysis of the connection between participation in global chains and the per capita GDP growth rate indicates a significant positive dependence both for developed and developing countries. Thirty of the most engaged developing countries have shown medium rates of economic growth by 3.3% over the period of between 1990 and 2010, meanwhile the economy of thirty countries assuming outsider positions average a growth rate of 0.7% annually (UNCTAD 2013b).
