Abstract

This research project tackled the question of how vulnerable our economies are to demand and supply shocks - both apply in the case of the COVID-19 health crisis from within and outside the EU - and what role GVCs play in the transmission of these shocks. The analysis focused on the vulnerabilities from an Austrian perspective and identified the sectors that are more prone to shocks due to dependence of imported products, low substitutability of imported products, high concentration on single supplying countries/firms and complex value chains.
