An Interdependent Multi-Layer Model: Resilience of International Networks

摘要: Trade flows are characterised by interdependent economic networks such as the global supply chain, international bilateral agreements, trans-national credit, and foreign direct investments, well non-economic components (i.e. infrastructures, cultural ties spatial barriers). We construct an Interdependent Multi-layer Model (IMM), which is rooted in theoretical concept of interaction, order to identify links within these trace their impacts on trade flows. In our aim investigate horizontal vertical interdependency among we calibrate interaction model (IMM) for a set 40 countries, thereafter examine influence shocks downturns upon networks, represented economic, socio-cultural physical layers. Most importantly, allows us understand propagation cascading effects (both positive negative) at national scales.
