摘要

全球供应链网络促进了合作,但也加速了跨境风险传递。本研究考察了2011年东日本地震对中国企业进口战略的影响。研究结果表明,这种中断导致了供应链集中度的转变,企业减少了进口来源的多样化。公司采购进口产品的国家数量略有增加,但进口份额变得更加集中,反映出对更少、更集中的供应商的依赖。受地震影响的公司优先考虑长期合作伙伴关系,并在自然灾害风险较低的地区寻找供应商,旨在减轻供应链脆弱性并降低转换成本。研究结果还表明,国有企业、民营企业和研发密集型企业更倾向于集中进口来源。这表明,这些公司利用其更大的规模、丰富的资源和强大的风险管理策略,倾向于采用更集中的采购方法,以便更好地控制其供应链,并确保面对全球中断时的稳定性。

Supply Chain Disruption and Import Strategy: Evidence from the Great East Japan Earthquake

Global supply chain networks foster collaboration but accelerate cross-border risk transmission. This study investigates the effect of the 2011 East Japan earthquake on Chinese firms' import strategies. The findings reveal that the disruption led to a shift toward supply chain concentration, with firms reducing the diversification of import sources. There was a slight increase in the number of countries from which firms sourced imports but import shares became more concentrated, reflecting a reliance on fewer, centralized suppliers. Firms affected by the earthquake prioritized long-term partnerships and sought suppliers in regions with lower natural disaster risks, aiming to mitigate supply chain vulnerabilities and reduce switching costs. The findings also show that state-owned enterprises, private firms, and research and development-intensive firms were more inclined to centralize their import sources. This suggests that these firms, leveraging their larger scale, substantial resources, and robust risk management strategies, favored a more concentrated sourcing approach in order to better control their supply chains and ensure stability in the face of global disruptions.

期刊介绍: The bi-monthly China & World Economy was launched in 1993 by the Institute of World Economics and Politics, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS). It is the only English-language journal in China devoted to the topic of the Chinese economy. The journal aims to provide foreign readers with an objective, impartial, analytical and up-to-date account of the problems faced and progress made by China in its interaction with the world economy. Among its contributors are many distinguished Chinese economists from both academic and government circles. As such, it has become a unique window on China and is essential reading for all those concerned with China"s development.
