cases, depending on the particular data that are available,
this equivalence may be exploited
in deriving estimates
of value added. This alternative could be chosen, for

output that originates
within the firm itself, value added
is a particularly useful measure from the perspectives of
both GATS and globalization analysis. It is for this
reason that it has been included among the “basic”
FATS
variables, even though, as a measure that may
have to be estimated or derived from other variables, it
may be among the more difficult variables to compile.
For inward FATS, value added will often be available
from regular industrial
or enterprise surveys, but for
outward FATS it may have to be derived from other
variables.
