Details Our paper is of descriptive nature and analyses the “connection points” of lead firms
and suppliers in the automotive value chains. It relies on two types of methodologies:
first, through the analysis of inverse input-output matrixes, it presents the local and
international links of the Hungarian automotive industry and estimates, where (in
which activities) local suppliers play an important role and from which countries the
various inputs come. Second, through relying on company interviews, it presents a
more nuanced picture about backward linkages in the Hungarian automotive industry.
We conduct interviews with German and Japanese lead firms and foreign- and
domestically-owned suppliers and thus our analysis is able to contrast the supplier
policies of Western European and Japanese lead firms and the features of foreign- and
domestically-owned suppliers.
