Foreign trade relations of Hungary with China: A global value chain perspective

Magdolna Sass Krisztián Koppány Shulei Bi Gáspár Tamás

Publication Name: Society and Economy

Publication Date: 2023-09-15

Volume: 45

Issue: 3

Page Range: 229-249

Description:

Trade analysis for open economies is strategically important. Even though Hungarian trade relations are oriented towards the EU, the direct and indirect influence of Asia, mainly China, needs special attention. The paper focuses on direct bilateral relations between Hungary and China. The global value chain perspective enables the research to detect inter- and intra-industry dependencies and unfold and compare the industry focuses and dynamics of backward and forward linkages between 2000 and 2018. We used a mixed methodology, combining input-output analysis with company case studies based on a wide range of literature both from Chinese and East-Central European researchers. The findings support the significance of global value chain relations, highlight the restructuring of Hungarian trade relations with China over the past twenty years, and indicate the strong concentration of relations in terms of the number of companies.

Changes in automotive value chain participation on the integrated periphery-The case of Czechia and Hungary

Magdolna Sass Jana Vlčková Krisztián Koppány Gáspár Tamás

Publication Name: Society and Economy

Publication Date: 2023-09-15

Volume: 45

Issue: 3

Page Range: 335-354

Description:

Central and Eastern European countries, including Czechia and Hungary, have become parts of the integrated periphery in the automotive industry. Through input-output analysis, company data and interviews, the article reveals the determining role of the industry in both economies and their deep integration in global value chains (GVCs). In addition to these similarities, the analysis reveals that domestic, simple and complex global value chain performances, ownership structures, the scale and types of upgrading tendencies as well as the consequences of the appearance of newcomers in the industry show different patterns of GVC structures over time. Due to these, the development paths of the two countries widely differ.
