Vertical Integration and Foreclosure: Evidence from Production Network Data

Johannes Boehm et al.

Summary: This study examines the potential anticompetitive effects of vertical mergers and finds that relationships are more likely to break when suppliers vertically integrate with one of the buyers' competitors. The relationship holds even when external pressure is used to instrument the merger.

Supply Shocks in Supply Chains: Evidence from the Early Lockdown in China

Raphael Lafrogne-Joussier et al.

Summary: This study examines how firms in global value chains react to input shortages using the Covid-19 pandemic as a case study. The findings show that firms exposed to the early lockdown in China experienced a decrease in domestic and export sales, while firms with higher inventories were better able to absorb the supply shock.

Quasi-Experimental Shift-Share Research Designs

Kirill Borusyak et al.

Summary: This study introduces a new econometric framework for shift-share instrumental variable regressions, where identification is based on quasi-random assignment of shocks and endogeneity of exposure shares is allowed. The motivation for the framework comes from an equivalence result where orthogonality between a shift-share instrument and an unobserved residual can be represented as orthogonality between underlying shocks and a shock-level unobservable. The study discusses and illustrates practical insights of this framework in estimating the effect of Chinese import competition on manufacturing employment in U.S. commuting zones, based on the setting of Autor et al. (2013).

Servicification of Manufacturing in Global Value Chains: Upgrading of Local Suppliers of Embedded Services in the South African Market for Wind Turbines

Ulrich Elmer Hansen et al.

Summary: Services play a crucial role in global value chains, but limited research has been conducted on this topic. This paper contributes to the literature by analyzing the development of an industry supplying wind-turbine services in South Africa, showcasing the upgrading pathways of local service suppliers in knowledge-intensive and high value-added service activities.

Export margins and survival: A firm-level analysis using Kenyan data

Kemal Turkcan et al.

Summary: This study analyzes the impact of average tariffs on the export sales, margins, and survival of firms in Kenya using annual customs transaction data. The results indicate that an increase in tariffs leads to a decrease in exports and the intensive margin. Additionally, the study finds that higher tariffs reduce export survival. Therefore, reducing tariffs can be beneficial for improving export performance for both firms and countries.

Summary: Individual earnings depend on the demand for the factor services they provide, and international trade can impact income inequality. Export exposure benefits the middle class, while import exposure benefits the rich, with the import channel being the dominant force. Trade exacerbates earnings inequality in Ecuador.

Wage effects of global value chains participation and position: An industry-level analysis1

Gideon Ndubuisi et al.

Summary: This study examines the impact of participation and positioning in global value chains (GVCs) on wages, taking into account a country's development level and labor market regulation. The findings reveal that in developed countries, participation and upstream specialization in GVCs are associated with higher wages. However, in developing countries, while GVC participation is associated with higher wages, upstream specialization leads to a decrease in wages. Moreover, the study finds that GVC participation has a positive effect on wages under stringent labor market regulation, but exerts downward pressure on wages under flexible labor market conditions. Nonetheless, it allows for the reallocation of GVC workers into more productive and high-value-added activities in the value chain. The analysis also shows that in developed countries, participation and upstream specialization in GVCs lead to higher wages across all wage segments. In contrast, in developing countries, GVC participation benefits higher wage earners but has a negative impact on low-wage earners, particularly when upstream specialization leads to lower wages across all wage segments.

Natural Disasters and the Reshaping of Global Value Chains

Caroline Freund et al.

Summary: This paper examines the trade impact of the 2011 earthquake in Japan on the automobile and electronic sectors, and finds that it did not lead to reshoring or diversification of suppliers. Trade in intermediate goods was less disrupted than trade in final goods, and imports shifted to new suppliers, especially those with greater dependence on Japan. However, production relocated to developing countries rather than other top exporters. These findings are important for understanding supply chain adjustments after natural disasters.

Cash transfers as a response to COVID-19: Experimental evidence from Kenya

Wyatt Brooks et al.

Summary: After delivering one month's average profit to a randomly selected group of female microenterprise owners in Dandora, Kenya, their profits recovered and food expenditures increased. The treatment effects were most significant when the control group's profits were lowest. Additionally, those who perceived COVID-19 as a major risk increased their spending on personal protective equipment and implemented precautionary management practices.

Preliminary lessons from COVID-19 disruptions of small-scale fishery supply chains

Hannah R. Bassett et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted global systems and small-scale fisheries sector, leading actors to focus on local distribution channels and utilize flexibility, organization, and technology. Constraints included domestic movement restrictions, decreased consumer spending power, and lack of distribution channels, highlighting risks of over-relying on global networks and the importance of local connections and organizations for building resilience. Bolstering financial security in domestic markets is crucial for continued food supply during macroeconomic crises.

Falling living standards during the COVID-19 crisis: Quantitative evidence from nine developing countries

Dennis Egger et al.

Summary: Despite a lack of systematic quantitative evidence, it is evident that the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has led to declines in employment and income in low- and middle-income countries. Household coping strategies and government assistance have been insufficient to sustain precrisis living standards, leading to widespread food insecurity and dire economic conditions. Promising policy responses are discussed, along with speculation about the risk of persistent adverse effects, especially among vulnerable groups such as children.

COVID-19 implications on household income and food security in Kenya and Uganda: Findings from a rapid assessment

Monica K. Kansiime et al.

Summary: This study examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on household income and food security in Kenya and Uganda. Results show that income shocks and worsened food security were prevalent, with vulnerable households more likely to adopt food-based coping strategies. Membership in savings and loan groups was associated with less income shocks and reduced food consumption. Recommendations include structural changes in social security systems and support for businesses and food supply chains.

Summary: This research analyzed data from 367 agri-food MSMEs in 17 countries and found that the COVID-19 pandemic had a severe impact on their operations, leading to reduced sales, decreased production volume, and adjustments in product prices.
