The interaction of input-output networks with industrial structure affects the propagation and amplification of shocks, and is an important consideration for business cycle fluctuations. This paper shows how the extensive margin of entry and exit can greatly amplify idiosyncratic shocks in the...

A key feature of globalization in the current era has been the rapid spread of cross-border production sharing in many regions of the world, including Europe, North America and Asia. The effects of these developments in the context of regional trade integration have been examined in the recent...

This paper examines whether firm-level idiosyncratic shocks propagate in production networks. We identify idiosyncratic shocks with the occurrence of natural disasters. We find that affected suppliers impose substantial output losses on their customers, especially when they produce specific...

Firms in the U.S. economy are closely interconnected in a production network and are subject to shocks that propagate within the network. This study examines the liquidity management of firms centrally connected in the network. I show that, while central firms are more exposed to aggregate...
