      abstract = {This paper first refines a methodology in KPWW (2011) that  completely decomposes a country’s gross exports into its  value-added components. By identifying which parts of such  value-added are “double counted,” it bridges official trade  statistics and national accounts, making the standard  measure of trade consistent with SNA standards. We  implement the decomposition on a database of global  production and trade covering 62 countries/regions and 41  industries from version 8 of the Global Trade Analysis  Project (GTAP) database for 2007 with additional processing  trade information from China and Mexico. We recompute the  RCA index at the country-sector level for all the countries  and sectors in our database using domestic content in  exports and compare them with RCA index based on  traditional trade statistics.},
