Spillovers in global production networks

Review of International Economics, 2021
AbstractThis paper studies the role of global input–output linkages in transmitting economic disturbances in the international economy. Our empirical results find that these links are both statistically significant and of economic importance for generating spillovers. We also provide evidence that it is not the inter‐linkages per se that matter for the

Strategic Planning of BMW’s Global Production Network

Interfaces, 2006
We developed a strategic-planning model to optimize BMW’s allocation of various products to global production sites over a 12-year planning horizon. It includes the supply of materials as well as the distribution of finished cars to the global markets. It determines the investments needed in the three production departments, body assembly, paint shop,

International Comovement in the Global Production Network

Review of Economic Studies
Abstract This article provides a general framework to study the role of production networks in international GDP comovement. We first derive an additive decomposition of bilateral GDP comovement into components capturing shock transmission and shock correlation. We quantify this decomposition in a parsimonious multi-country, multi-sector

The emergence of global corporate networks that integrate dispersed production, engineering, product development and research activities across geographic borders poses new challenges and opportunities for global studies. The challenge is to trace down and decipher the increasingly complex forms of these networks that have expanded well beyond the ...

Global production networks and cooperation

2019
Chapter 7 addresses the use of cooperative strategies and organizations in the development of global value-adding chains and networks. These global networks comprise not only component manufacture, but also final assembly, marketing, distribution, and even knowledge-based activities such as research and development. These activities are located in many

Protectionism and Global Production Networks

2017
This chapter looks at the development of global production networks, the core of globalized production, and traces its origins both to neo-protectionism of the early 1980s and to the Plaza Accord of 1986. These developments in international political economy encouraged a sudden expansion of Japanese foreign direct investments, initially to the USA, and
