In this book, we build a set of research frameworks of the global value chain accountingsystem with the convergence of the international economic accounting, complex networktheory, and statistical physics. We name the system as the "Global Industrial Value ChainNetwork", which is used to study the flow state of intermediate goods among countries andindustrial sectors. By observing its evolution, we can figure out an optimal way to allocateglobal industrial resources and improve China's international competitiveness.
This book contains five main parts, which are "Fundamental Issues in This Book","Topological Structure ", " Markov Process ", " Competition and Cooperation ", and"Evolutionary Mechanism". We believe readers will benefit from a new field and a new wayof viewing and analyzing the global value chain.
This book serves the scholars, teachers and graduate students who are associated with thefield of econophysics.
