DMUR and DVAR for different economies in a 2005 and b 2015. The color and size of the bubble represent distinct economic classifications and the share of an economy’s domestic value-added, respectively. The horizontal and vertical lines indicate global average DMUR and DVAR, respectively. Economies with <1% of the global total value-added are aggregated into Others. c The metals and value-added (million EUR, M.EUR) embodied in exports through global RPVCs for the largest 30 economies in 2015, with rankings based on their scale of value-added embodied in exports. The details of the remaining economies with <10% of global metal use or value-added embodied in exports are presented in Supplementary Fig. 7.
