 Global intersectoral production network and aggregate fluctuationsKristina Barauskaite (Griskeviciene) and Anh Nguyen Economic Modelling, 2021, vol. 102, issue C Abstract: Sectoral shocks compound via intersectoral production networks into sizable aggregate effects. Current evidence of this mechanism has relied on country-specific data using classical estimation methods. We extend this literature to account for the cross-country industry links from the World Input-Output Database over 2000–2014 in a Bayesian methodological framework. Our results highlight the global production network's role in propagating sectoral shocks to aggregate fluctuations, which stems from the significant asymmetry regarding the importance of sectors in supplying to others in this network, both as direct suppliers and as indirect suppliers to chains of downstream sectors. Furthermore, we document an increase in the asymmetry of the global production network over time, with specific sectors, particularly from China, becoming prevalent world suppliers.
