Abstract
Abstract This article sheds light on the complexities of global supply chains’ (GSCs) subnational dimensions, including how international shocks propagate spatially. It develops a systematic approach or toolkit for analyzing how global shocks affect the regional distribution of GSCs. Using the toolkit, it derives a family of GSC indicators that distinguish between import- and export-side exposure, direct (face-value) and indirect (hidden exposure) linkages, and gross versus value-added flows. The article then applies the indicators to multiregional input–output data to highlight how global shocks propagate unevenly across regions and how impacts vary with the nature of the shock and a region’s type of exposure.
期刊介绍:
The aims of the Journal of Economic Geography are to redefine and reinvigorate the intersection between economics and geography, and to provide a world-class journal in the field. The journal is steered by a distinguished team of Editors and an Editorial Board, drawn equally from the two disciplines. It publishes original academic research and discussion of the highest scholarly standard in the field of ''economic geography'' broadly defined. Submitted papers are refereed, and are evaluated on the basis of their creativity, quality of scholarship, and contribution to advancing understanding of the geographic nature of economic systems and global economic change.
