Recently, there is a growing literature that uses input-output (IO) tables to make an empirical investigation on the issue of vertical specialization, value-added trade and competitiveness across countries and regions. Such investigations enhance other research which is based e.g. on detailed trade or firm level data. Papers presented at the workshop focus on comparing integration aspects of the EU and Asian countries. Contributions will be based on the World Input Output Database (WIOD), another new IO database - the YNU-GIO Table constructed by CESSA at Yokohama National University – with a focus on Asian economies and further compatible data sources like trade and FDI data. The papers presented will provide comparative analysis of Asian and European integration aspects concerning the degree of regional economic integration, regional and global value chains, productivity growth, competitiveness and real exchange rate movements, and the effects of the crisis in these respects. Results should allow drawing policy implications for the further integration and cooperation in Asia.
