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...

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...

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...

Hidden Exposure : Measuring US Supply Chain Reliance

Baldwin, Richard E.; Freeman, Rebecca; … - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2023

Supply chain problems, previously relegated to specialized journals, now appear in G7 Leaders' Communiqués. Our paper looks at three core elements of the problems: measurement of the links that expose supply chains to disruptions, the nature of the shocks that cause the disruptions, and the...

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...
