We develop a method to map global network production and vertical trade. Based on product‐level trade data across a matrix of 75 countries, an index measures the intensity of bilateral vertical trade and a force‐directed algorithm lays it out for visualization as a world map of production networks. Three major hubs in the global networks are identified: the USA , G ermany and C hina– J apan. Outside Asia and apart from Mexico, mainly because of its maquiladoras network ties to the USA , we find that developing countries are not yet fully part of the global production networks.
