Input Diffusion and the Evolution of Production Networks

Carvalho, Vasco M. - 2014

The adoption and diffusion of inputs in the production network is at the heart of technological progress. What determines which inputs are initially considered and eventually adopted by innovators? We examine the evolution of input linkages from a network perspective, starting from a stylized...

Aggregate-Demand Amplification of Supply Disruptions : The Entry-Exit Multiplier

Bilbiie, Florin - 2020

The response of entry and exit to adverse supply shocks, such as COVID-19, is amplified by nominal rigidities. This leads to further amplification in the response of aggregate demand. Firms' inability to adjust their prices induces further changes in profitability that engender additional...

Risks and global supply chains : What we know and what we need to know

Baldwin, Richard E.; Freeman, Rebecca - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2021

Recent supply disruptions catapulted the issue of risk in global supply chains (GSCs) to the top of policy agendas and created the impression that shortages would have been less severe if GSCs were either shorter and more domestic, or more diversified. But is this right? We start our answer by...

Supply Chain Resilience : Evidence from Indian Firms

Khanna, Gaurav; Morales, Nicolas; Pandalai-Nayar, Nitya - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2022

We characterize what features make supply chains more resilient. Using new data on the universe of firm-to-firm transactions from an Indian state, we identify firms with larger supplier risk following the Covid-19 lockdowns. Using an event-study design we find firms with suppliers in...
