Assessing the Fragility of Global Trade : The Impact of Localized Supply Shocks Using Network Analysis / Yevgeniya Korniyenko, Magali Pinat, Brian Dew.

Using a highly disaggregated international trade database we assess the spillover effects of supply shocks from the import of specific goods. Our goal is to identify inherent vulnerabilities arising from the composition of a country's import basket and to propose effective mitigation policies. First, using network analysis tools we develop a methodology for evaluating and ranking the supply fragility of individual traded goods. Next, we create a country-level measure to determine each country's supply shock vulnerability based on the composition of their individual import baskets. This measure evaluates the potential negative supply shock spillovers from the import of each good. Mode of access: Internet Dew, Brian. Pinat, Magali.
