Authors: Sourafel Girma and Holger Görg

China’s policy of encouraging export processing has been the topic of much discussion in the academic literature and policy debate. We use a recently developed econometric approach that allows for time varying “treatments” and estimate economically and statistically significant positive causal effects of entering into export processing and ordinary export markets on subsequent firm level productivity[...]

The COVID-19 pandemic is a huge challenge for all aspects of human lives – locally, nationally but also globally. With respect to the global economy, the COVIC-19 pandemic has clearly demonstrated how
vulnerable global supply chains can be in the face of global shocks. The severe pandemic-determined global supply chain disruptions particularly in the first half year of 2020 has triggered political and public discussions worldwide about whether there is increasing national need for economic self-sufficiency and about the role of potential business reshoring in this regard. There have been also such debates and discussions in Germany[...]

Ein Lieferkettengesetz kann einen starken Anreiz dafür setzen, dass deutsche Unternehmen sich für nachhaltige Sozial- und Umweltbedingungen in globalen Lieferketten einsetzen. Dabei sollte jedoch überdacht werden, ob es zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt nicht sinnvoller wäre, eine gesetzlich vorgeschriebene Haftung durch eine zunächst zeitlich befristete Selbstverpflichtungsphase zu ersetzen oder zu ergänzen[…]

Current global value chains (GVCs) are highly efficient, specialized and interconnected, but they are also highly vulnerable to global risks. The high vulnerability to global risks was made clear particularly through the COVID-19 pandemic that caused supply-side disruptions in the first quarter of 2020, as China and other Asian economies were hit by the outbreak of the virus which later spread globally, leading to business closures around the world[...]

We explore the export performance of Africa’s underperforming female entrepreneurs, using the Ghanaian ISSER-IGC panel, a comprehensive dataset of manufacturing firms for 2011–2015. Uniquely, the data provides information about the severity of key business constraints, across both male and female entrepreneurs[...]

Companies increasingly offer their employees the opportunity to participate in voluntary Workplace Health Promotion programmes.

Authors: Gabriel Felbermayr, and Alexander Sandkamp (European Economic Review, Vol. 122, Feb. 2020, 103367)
This paper uses Chinese customs data to investigate the trade effects of anti-dumping (AD) policies. Merging firm-level exports to firm-specific AD duties, we exploit differences across firms within products. This reduces endogeneity concerns which have plagued earlier research[...]

The COVID-19 pandemic has hit the global value chains (GVCs) substantially as it struck at their core regions, including China, Europe and the United States (Seric et al., 2020). According to a recent estimate of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) the merchandise trade volume worldwide would fall by between 13% to 32% in 2020. It is highly likely that the COVID-19 determined decline in world trade will be more substantial than the historical trade fall brought by the global financial crisis more than ten years ago[...]
