Structural Change through Vertical Integration: A Practical Guide to Building Indicators in R

Adilson Giovanini, Wallace Marcelino Pereira

Resumo

The advancement of digital technologies has transformed services into strategic inputs for manufacturing, intensifying intersectoral interactions. This shift challenges traditional sector-based approaches, which may yield biased indicators of structural change. This article presents an accessible and replicable methodological guide based on the vertical integration approach, which distinguishes outsourcing from the tertiarization of productive activities, providing more robust indicators of structural transformation. Excel spreadsheets are used to illustrate key concepts and procedures, while R scripts automate the calculations using data from the OECD’s (2023) Inter-Country Input-Output Tables. The aim is to support researchers and policymakers in analyzing the interactions between manufacturing and services in the context of productive offshoring. By integrating up-to-date international databases, a methodology aligned with the contemporary productive structure, and accessible computational tools, this study contributes to advancing the research agenda on structural change.
