Changes in version 6.9.0 - Added the Borin-Mancini (2019) decomposition via the new bm() function (also available through decomp(method = "bm")). It decomposes gross exports into up to 13 value-added and GVC terms at the country, sector, or bilateral-sector level, under the exporter/source or world/sink perspective. It is the R counterpart of decompose() in the Julia package ICIO.jl and reproduces the Stata icio command's output. - The kww() documentation now notes that the KWW decomposition is biased (it systematically underestimates foreign value added) and points to bm(perspective = "world", approach = "sink") for the Borin-Mancini correction. Cross-references to bm() were added throughout.
