This paper proposes an accounting framework that breaks up a country's gross exports into various value-added components by source
and additional double-counted terms. Our parsimonious framework
bridges a gap between official trade statistics (in gross value terms)
and national accounts (in value-added terms), and integrates all previous measures of vertical specialization and value-added trade in the literature into a unified framework. To illustrate the potential of such
a method, we present a number of applications including re-computing
revealed comparative advantages and the magnifying impact of
multi-stage production on trade costs.
