The (Structural) Gravity of Epidemics

Decoupling Global Value Chains
Eppinger, Peter; Felbermayr, Gabriel J.; Krebs, Oliver; … - 2021
Recent disruptions to global value chains (GVCs) have raised an important question: Can decoupling from GVCs increase a country’s welfare by reducing its exposure to foreign supply shocks? We use a quantitative trade model to simulate GVCs decoupling, defined as increased barriers to global...
