Analysis on the sources of value added of American crop exports and employment

Abstract

This paper uses the WIOD database combined with the global value chain decomposition to measure the value added of the crop industry and other industries included in the US crop exports. Use the employment coefficient to further analyze the impact of US crop exports on the employment of its own industry and other industries and the impact of exports from other industries on employment in the crop industry. We found: (1) The value-added of the service industry included in the export of the US crop industry is higher than that of the manufacturing industry and the primary industry. (2) Among the exports of other industries, the crop industry included in the manufacturing export has the most value-added and continues to increase, while the value added of the service industry and the primary industry is low. (3) The number of employed people in the industry driven by the export of the US crop industry is increasing. Among the other industries, the service industry has the largest number of employed people driven by the export of the crop industry.
