We are all in the same boat : cross-border spillovers of climate shocks through international trade and supply chain
Feng, Alan; Li, Haishi; Wang, Yulin - 2023
Are land locked countries subject to sea-level rise risk? We highlight a new mechanism by which physical climate shocks affects countries' macro-financial performance: the cross-border spillover effects that propagate through international trade. Basing our findings on historical data between...
