Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Global supply chain disruptions, driven by geopolitical tensions, climate shocks, pandemics, cyber incidents, and market volatility, have reshaped how firms manage operational risk and financial performance. As supply chains become more interconnected and vulnerable, understanding the financial implications of supply chain uncertainties has become a critical research frontier across finance, operations, and economics. This Special Issue invites theoretical, empirical, and methodological contributions that deepen our understanding of how supply chain risks, fragility, and resilience mechanisms influence firms’ financing decisions, valuation, risk management, and long-term strategic outcomes. We particularly welcome interdisciplinary work leveraging novel data sources (e.g., textual analysis, network-based measures, big-data supply chain mapping) and innovative identification strategies.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Supply chain risk and investment behavior on the equity markets.
- Effects of supply chain disruptions on corporate investment, capital structure, and operational strategies.
- Supplier/customer concentration, dependence, and bargaining power in financial stability.
- Supply chain resilience strategies (reshoring, diversification, digitalization) and firm performance.
- Trade policy uncertainty, geopolitical shocks, and cross-border supply chain risk.
- Supply chain networks, systemic risk, and financial contagion across firms and markets.
- Cyberattacks, data breaches, and technological vulnerabilities in supply networks.
