Trade

International trade has been essential to pandemic-fighting efforts by nations across the globe. International trade has been essential to pandemic-fighting efforts by nations across the globe.

To attain ecological sustainability and transition to sustainable supply chain management (SSCM), effective technological innovation (TI) and solid waste management (SWM), as likely impending resources, are essential components.

Recent supply disruptions catapulted the issue of risk in global supply chains (GSCs) to the top of policy agendas and created the impression that shortages would have been less severe if GSCs had been either shorter and more domestic or more diversified

The novel coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) has massively disrupted supply chains at the global and local scales resulting in economic slowdown and social issues

In this paper, we introduce cloud supply chain which is a business model based on cloud-enabled networking of some third-party physical and digital assets to design and manage a supply chain network

The ever-growing concern of sustainability and survivability attracts academicians and practitioners to develop strategies and supply chain capabilities that cater to the challenges and helps in achieving the sustainability development goals

There is now widespread appreciation of the critical role played by supply chains in the global economy. Supply chains are dominant concerns for many organizations, governments, policy makers, and consumers

The supply chain consists of those activities associated with manufacturing from raw material acquisition to final product delivery

The COVID-19 pandemic has challenged supply chains more seriously challenged than ever before. During this prolonged global health crisis, supply chain managers were forced to rely primarily on solutions developed for limited and foreseeable crises

This article measures the trade interconnectedness among countries before and after the COVID-19 outbreak, and forecasts the future direction of trade.

The purpose of this research is to analyse the current body of knowledge on the relationship between the COVID-19 pandemic and its implications for global supply chains and their management

Rapidly increasing international food trade has drastically altered the global food system over the past decades.

We examine how many and what kind of firms ultimately rely on foreign inputs, sell to foreign markets, and are affected by trade shocks.

The COVID-19 epidemic has taken the world by surprise. Initially, it was seen as a Chinese, and later South-East Asian, problem.

This paper studies the effects of unexpected changes in trade policy uncertainty (TPU) on the U.S. economy. Three measures of TPU are constructed using newspaper coverage, firms’ earnings calls, and tariff rates.

While the lockdowns imposed in countries across the world in the wake of COVID-19 will be lifted eventually, social distancing (both voluntary and selective) is likely to stay for longer. This has already had, and will continue to have, a significantly adverse impact on services transactions that require proximity between buyers and sellers.

As COVID-19 spreads around the globe, fears of a deep global recession are mounting. Some also fear that food supplies may start running short, especially if supply chains are disrupted. Others fear that agricultural production may be disrupted by containment measures that restrict workers fromharvesting and handling crops.

A widely held view is that openness to international trade leads to higher income volatility, as trade increases specialization and hence exposure to sector-specific shocks.

The Port of New York and New Jersey has been ranked the third-busiest U.S. seaport for years, trailing behind Los Angeles and Long Beach. But 27 consecutive record-setting months at the East Coast facility catapulted it into the No. 2 slot for 2022.

We evaluate the impact of the US–China trade war using a dynamic computable general equilibrium (CGE) model of global trade. We conduct ex ante simulation analysis exploring three scenarios to understand how the trade war affects import tariffs, investment, and productivity.

We review the literature that studies the dynamics of firms in foreign markets, both at the intensive and extensive margins, and their aggregate implications. We first summarize a set of micro facts on exporter entry, expansion, contraction, and exit and macro facts about the response of aggregate trade flows to trade-policy and business-cycle shocks.

During the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic in the US, there has been considerable media attention regarding several US legislators who traded stocks in late January through February 2020. The concern is that these legislators traded in anticipation of COVID-19 having a major impact on the financial markets, while publicly suggesting otherwise.

The special issue of Emerging Markets Finance and Trade (EMFT) represents the very first special issue on COVID-19 from a business and economics point of view. EMFT is, therefore, proud to be the first journal to compile literature on COVID-19.

We offer a new explanation as to why international trade is so volatile in response to economic shocks. Our approach combines the idea of uncertainty shocks with international trade.

When WHO declared the COVID-19 outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) on Jan 30, 2020, under the provisions of the International Health Regulations (2005) (IHR), it recommended against “any travel or trade restriction”.

COVID-19 pandemic is the worst humanitarian crisis that economies across the globe have witnessed. Forced lockdowns, social distancing, and restricted mobility have contributed to large scale disruptions in the supply chain network.

The advent of blockchain technologies is transmuting the way conventional supply chains are being managed. Due to the complexity of dealing with many actors involved in the supply chain networks, contemporary supply chains have limited visibility, transparency, and accountability.

Environmental provisions in preferential trade agreements (PTAs) are increasing in terms of their number and variety. The economic effects of these environmental provisions remain largely unclear.

It has long been established in theory that uncertainty impacts on firm behaviour. However, the empirical basis for quantifying the uncertainty-reducing effects of trade agreements has not been firmly established.

Using a new detailed dataset on country‐product information on European Union (EU) Geographical Indications (GIs), we study the impact of this food quality policy on trade margins over the 1996–2014 period.

In a world of resource constraints and value preferences, trade-offs are everywhere. Trade-offs exist within and between almost all of the components and processes of the social-ecological systems (SES).

Economic development in a contemporary setting encompasses a broad range of parameters. This balanced panel study of 30 countries uses two single-equation models to investigate the impacts of natural resource abundance, international trade, financial development, trade openness and institutional quality on two proxies for economic development – economic growth and a human development index.

International trade, together with foreign direct investment (FDI), promotes economic integration with complex global supply value chains, which is now recognized as a crucial factor in determining CO₂ emissions.

Economic growth, accompanied by rising energy demand in ASEAN countries have been unprecedented over these few years. On the other hand, the energy consumed in the ASEAN region is predominantly non-renewable, which could have implications for sustainable development.

Analyzing the impact of domestic labor regulations on international trade is relevant, in part, because (i) trade negotiations may increasingly constrain countries' ability to implement trade policies and (ii) concerns over international competition driving countries towards a ‘race to the bottom’ in labor standards are rampant.

Since the 1960s, non-tariff measures (NTMs) have been continuously replacing tariffs as the core element of trade negotiations. In the 21st century, they take centre stage in all EU trade agreements with industrialised and emerging economies.

In this paper, we develop the additional compliance requirement indicator (ACRI) to quantify the extra regulatory requirements that an exporter may face when serving the foreign country's market. The higher the value of ACRI, the greater the difference between the sets of technical measures in the destination and origin countries.

We study how the opportunity to trade in trash might influence the equilibrium outcome when the tax on the externality is determined by a political economy process.

We explore the interplay between trade-invoicing patterns and the pricing of safe assets in different currencies. The theory thus provides a unified explanation for why a dominant currency is so heavily used in both trade invoicing and in global finance.

Diversified human activities and inappropriate economic growth strategies have induced a trade-off between economic growth and environmental degradation worldwide. Consequently, the aggravating environmental concerns have warranted regulations to be enforced for safeguarding the welfare of the global environment.

In this study, the relationship between trade openness, renewable and non-renewable energy consumption for “Top Emerging Countries of Bloomberg” in 1980–2015 period is investigated.

The world is united regarding the goal of ending the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic but not the strategy to achieve that goal. One stark example is the debate over whether to prescribe available therapies, such as quinine-based antimalarial drugs (eg, chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine), or test these drugs in randomized clinical trials (RCTs).

In the current business and political climate, deliberations concerning international trading agreements and their importance to B2B firms are increasing.

This paper is a pioneering endeavour to investigate the determinants of environmental degradation in Australia through a comprehensive framework of EKC and STIRPAT.

In the context of the new Digital Economy, defined by the massive dissemination of information and commercial content on the Internet and by the new relationship rules established with the development of Social Networks, we can find a set of institutions that have an active role in the rules defined in the Industrial; Social Ecosystem, as well as in the articulation of the necessary policies for the generation of labor and economic development.

The virus that triggered a localized shock in China is now delivering a significant global shock. This study simulates the potential impact of COVID-19 on gross domestic product and trade, using a standard global computable general equilibrium model

As COVID-19 spreads around the globe, fears of a deep global recession are mounting. Some also fear that food supplies may start running short, especially if supply chains are disrupted. Others fear that agricultural production may be disrupted by containment measures that restrict workers from harvesting and handling crops.

The current public health emergency will be followed by the mutually reinforcing economic and political crises that may ultimately lead to serious social disturbance as the costs of the pandemic will not only be high, but also unevenly distributed, both among countries and among different social groups within states.

In this short paper, I assess how COVID‐19‐related disruptions in transportation services, as well as new demands for transportation services, could impact Canadian agricultural supply chains.

One of the current topics is e-commerce and related processes. The article aims to reveal e-commerce services and its importance in the global economy.

Most everyone has been bracing for April’s numbers to be subpar, if not appallingly dreadful. Even without firm TEU counts from the thirteen ports it monitors, the National Retail Federation’s Global Port Tracker’s May 7 outlook for the month of April expected a 13.4% year-over-year drop in containerized imports.

No one expected May’s container trade numbers to be anything but awful. And, judging from the port TEU tallies posted so far, it looks like no one will be disappointed.

Countries have sought to stop the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) by severely restricting travel and in-person commercial activities. Here, we analyse the supply-chain effects of a set of idealized lockdown scenarios, using the latest global trade modelling framework.
