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...

From Just in Time, to Just in Case, to Just in Worst-Case : Simple models of a Global Supply Chain under Uncertain Aggregate Shocks

Jiang, Bomin; Rigobon, Daniel E.; Rigobón, Roberto - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2021

Covid-19 highlighted the weaknesses in the supply chain. Many have argued that a more resilient or robust supply chain is needed. But what does a robust supply chain mean? And how do firms' decisions change when taken that approach? This paper studies a very stylized model of a supply chain,...

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...

What Can Stockouts Tell Us About Inflation? Evidence from Online Micro Data

Cavallo, Alberto; Kryvtsov, Oleksiy - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2021

We use a detailed micro dataset on product availability to construct a direct high-frequency measure of consumer product shortages during the 2020-2021 pandemic. We document a widespread multi-fold rise in shortages in nearly all sectors early in the pandemic. Over time, the composition of...

Demand Shocks and Supply Chain Resilience : An Agent Based Modelling Approach and Application to the Potato Supply Chain

Lu, Liang; Nguyen, Ruby; Rahman, Md Mamunur; Winfree, Jason - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2021

The food supply chain has experienced major disruptions from both demand and supply sides during the Covid-19 pandemic. While some consequences such as food waste are directly caused by the disruption due to supply chain inefficiency, others are indirectly caused by a change in consumer's...
