Abstract
This paper investigates the link between value chain importance and economic growth for the EU24 regions between 2008-2018. It finds that relying more on GVCs worsened regional growth during the financial crisis, but led to higher growth in the long run. The results contribute to the literature on regional resilience and the public debate on the impact of shocks and the desirability of GVCs. Furthermore, by separately analysing the importance of global and regional value chains it contributes to the discussion on the effect of regionalisation and provides insights on how the re-configuring of value chains may affect regional growth.
