This box analyses how the pandemic affected global value chains.

Key Points: 
  • This box analyses how the pandemic affected global value chains.
  • It uses data for France, in particular between September 2020 and December 2021 when supply bottlenecks emerged.
  • [1] The pandemic resulted in a contraction of demand and supply that occurred both domestically and internationally.
  • Firms involved in global value chains (“GVC” firms), namely firms that both import and export, faced both of these challenges simultaneously.
  • [2]This box, based on highly granular trade data for the full universe of French firms, shows that participation in global value chains increased firms’ vulnerability to the economic implications of the pandemic.
  • In April 2020, exporters involved in global value chains recorded a decline in their export values of 42% compared with January 2020.
  • During the 2008 global financial crisis, however, firms involved in global value chains proved more resilient (Chart A, panel b).
  • Exporters that source their imports from geographically closer destinations were less affected by supply bottlenecks than those importing from further afield.
  • Furthermore, firms involved in global value chains importing mostly from the EU were hit later by supply bottlenecks, with the negative effects being visible only from April 2021.

In this context, the further upstream the disruption occurs, the greater is the potential for supply bottlenecks to propagate negative shocks.

Key Points: 
  • In this context, the further upstream the disruption occurs, the greater is the potential for supply bottlenecks to propagate negative shocks.
  • The third phase was from September 2020 to the end of 2021, when disruptions to global supply chains emerged and progressively intensified.
  • Within this sample, our treatment group comprises all exporting firms that had imported intermediate inputs at least once over the same period.
  • We assess firms’ performance during the crisis, in terms of export sales and probability of survival in the export market.
  • The richness of the dataset allows us to then deepen our analysis and look at several sources of heterogeneity.
  • In April 2020 GVC exporters recorded export volumes that were 42% lower than the levels recorded in January 2020.
  • Chart 2 illustrates the estimated effect of participation in global value chains on firm-level exports.
  • We find that participation in GVCs increased firm vulnerability during the pandemic, with the negative impact of supply disruptions being greater for firms located relatively more downstream in the value chain.
  • In this article we investigate the impact of supply chain linkages on exporting firms during the pandemic.
  • Highly granular data for the universe of French exporters allow us to provide one of the first firm-level quantifications of the impact of supply bottlenecks that occurred in 2021, when disruptions along value chains were at historically high levels.
  • We find that exporters in global value chains suffered relatively more than other exporters during the COVID-19 crisis.
  • This additional negative effect was mostly driven by exporters at downstream production stages, whereas diversifying sourcing networks for core imports helped to buffer the impact.
