Labor Dynamics and Supply Chain Disruption in Food Manufacturing
Ramsey, A. Ford; Goodwin, Barry K.; Haley, Mildred A. - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2021
Food manufacturing and processing is an important link between agricultural producers and consumers in the agricultural … supply chain. The food manufacturing sector in the United States is both increasingly mechanized and increasingly … concentrated. Consequently, labor risks in food manufacturing have changed over time with changes in industry structure. Labor …

Production Chains
Levine, David K. - 2010
More advanced technologies demand higher degrees of specialization - and longer chains of production connecting raw inputs to final outputs. Longer production chains are subject to a "weakest link" effect: they are more fragile and more prone to failure. Optimal chain length is determined by the...

Supply-Chain Trade : A Portrait of Global Patterns and Several Testable Hypotheses
Baldwin, Richard - 2013
The trade linked to international production networks - supply-chain trade for short - is associated with momentous global economic changes. This paper presents a portrait of the global pattern of supply-chain trade and how it has evolved since 1995. The paper draws on a variety of data sources...

Weathering the Storm : Supply Chains and Climate Risk
Castro-Vincenzi, Juanma; Khanna, Gaurav; Morales, Nicolas; … - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2024
We characterize how firms structure supply chains under climate risk. Using new data on the universe of firm-to-firm transactions from an Indian state, we show that firms diversify sourcing locations, and suppliers exposed to climate risk charge lower prices. Our event-study analysis finds that...

Tracing Value-added and Double Counting in Gross Exports
Koopman, Robert - 2012
This paper proposes a framework for gross exports accounting that breaks up a country's gross exports into various value-added components by source and additional double counted terms. By identifying which parts of the official trade data are double counted and the sources of the double...

An Elementary Theory of Global Supply Chains
Costinot, Arnaud - 2011
This paper develops an elementary theory of global supply chains. We consider a world economy with an arbitrary number of countries, one factor of production, a continuum of intermediate goods, and one final good. Production of the final good is sequential and subject to mistakes. In the unique...

Supply Chain Risk : Changes in Supplier Composition and Vertical Integration
Ersahin, Nuri; Giannetti, Mariassunta; Huang, Ruidi - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2023
Using textual analysis of earnings conference calls, we quantify firms' supply chain risk and its sources. Our proxy for supply chain risk exhibits large cross-sectional and time-series variation that aligns with reasonable priors and is unprecedently high during the Covid-19 pandemic. In...

Supplier Churn and Growth : A Micro-to-Macro Analysis
Baqaee, David; Burstein, Ariel T.; Duprez, Cédric; … - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2023
We investigate the effects of input variety creation and destruction on both micro- and macroeconomic outcomes using detailed data from Belgium. We estimate that marginal costs rise by 0.6% for every 1% of suppliers lost. We show that this elasticity measures the area under the input demand...

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...
