In order to explain the emergence of Hallyuwood, this paper uses a global value chain (GVC) approach and highlights some of the economic determinants in the internationalization of the Korean movie industry. Using input-output data and irm-level information, the paper irst analyzes the position of Korea in the motion picture GVC and assesses the ways in which the movie production has become more global. he results indicate that Korea is the country with the strongest comparative advantage in the motion picture value chain. he paper then discusses diferent aspects of the internationalization of the Korean motion picture industry, in particular: the role of co-production and foreign partners, the concentration and vertical integration of the industry, and the creation of a global brand. Finally, the paper looks at the main challenges the Korean industry will face if it desires to further expand and remain competitive, discussing government policies and the impact of the rise of China on Korea’s movie industry. Overall, the paper emphasizes that while typically national, cultural products can also beneit from global business strategies. Keywords comparative advantage; cultural products; global value chain; Hallyu; Korean wave; motion picture; movie industry About the Author Sébastien Miroudot is a senior trade policy analyst in the Trade in Services Division of the Trade and Agriculture Directorate of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.
