In recent decades, production processes of intermediate and final
products have been increasingly fragmented across countries in what
are called global value chains (GVCs). GVCs may involve companies
in one country outsourcing stages of production to unrelated
entities in other countries, multinational enterprises (MNEs)
offshoring stages of production to units of the MNE overseas, or
both. GVCs can also involve completely independent companies merely
sourcing their parts from whichever upstream company may be the
most competitive, with no control arrangement necessarily involved.
The changing global trade environment and the changes in firms'
behavior have raised new and more complicated issues for policy
makers and have made it difficult for them to understand the extent
and operations of GVCs and their spillover effects on national and
local economies. To improve the understanding, measurement, and
valuation of GVCs, the Innovation Policy Forum at the National
Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine convened a
workshop, "Innovation, Global Value Chains, and Globalization
Measurement" May 5-7, 2021. This proceedings has been prepared by
the workshop rapporteurs as a factual summary of what occurred at
the workshop. Table of Contents Front Matter 1 Introduction 2

The Manufacturing USA initiative seeks to reinforce U.S.-based
advanced manufacturing through partnerships among industry,
academia, and government. Started in 2012 and established with
bipartisan support by the Revitalize American Manufacturing and
Innovation Act of 2014, the initiative envisages a nationwide
network of research centers for manufacturing innovation. Some 14
manufacturing innovation institutes have been established to
facilitate the movement of early-stage research into proven
capabilities ready for adoption by U.S. manufacturers. To better
understand the role and experiences of the Manufacturing USA
institutes, a committee of the National Academies of Sciences,
Engineering, and Medicine convened a workshop on May 23, 2017
drawing together institute directors and manufacturing policy
experts along with leaders from industry, academia, and government.
Given the continued prominence of enhancing domestic manufacturing
and international competitiveness in public policy discussions, the
National Academies convened a second workshop on November 14, 2018,
to monitor the progress of the Manufacturing USA institutes. This
publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from this
second workshop. Table of Contents Front Matter 1 Introduction 2

The Manufacturing USA initiative seeks to reinforce U.S.-based
advanced manufacturing through partnerships among industry,
academia, and government. Started in 2012 and established with
bipartisan support by the Revitalize American Manufacturing and
Innovation Act of 2014, the initiative envisages a nationwide
network of research centers for manufacturing innovation. As of May
2017, 14 manufacturing innovation institutes had been established
to facilitate the movement of early-stage research into proven
capabilities ready for adoption by U.S. manufacturers. To better
understand the role and experiences of the Manufacturing USA
institutes to date, a committee of the Innovation Policy Forum of
the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
convened a workshop on May 23, 2017 drawing together institute
directors and manufacturing policy experts along with leaders from
industry, academia, and government. Participants addressed the role
of the manufacturing institutes in increasing advanced
manufacturing in the United States, examined selected foreign
programs designed to support advanced manufacturing, and reviewed
recent assessments of existing institutes. This publication
summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.
