Résumé

This research examines the influence of institutional quality on engagement and advancement within global value chains (GVCs) in six Arab nations—Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Algeria, Tunisia, and Morocco—over the period from 1996 to 2020. It employs the Worldwide Governance Indicators and the Heritage Foundation freedom indices to assess institutional quality, while also accounting for government expenditure and GDP per capita. Four dynamic panel models are evaluated employing the BC-MM estimator. Research demonstrates that regulatory quality and the rule of law enhance GVC participation via both backward and forward links, whereas government effectiveness and corruption control adversely affect participation. Moreover, financial autonomy correlates with diminished engagement, while GDP per capita and governmental expenditure bolster it, propelling economic intricacy. The findings indicate a necessity for legislative and legal modifications, as well as enhanced public investment, to bolster integration into global value chains in Arab countries.
