摘要:
生产网络是每个经济系统的核心。它们本质上脆弱,最近的危机已明显突出。估计局部扰动的系统性影响(系统性风险)需要详细的供应链网络(SCN)信息,因为系统性风险与特定的介观模式相关。然而,此类信息通常不可用,必须从可用的行业层面数据如投入产出表和企业层面的总产出数据中推断。本文探讨了几种最大熵算法推断具有现实系统性风险水平的SCN的能力。我们能以企业层面测试Ecuador生产网络。具体而言,我们比较了Ecuador生产网络及其四个推断模型的各种属性,包括经济系统性风险指数。我们发现,最现实的系统性风险内容在企业层面通过包含企业特定投入按行业细分的信息模型获得,表明正确会计企业异质性输入特征的重要性。我们的结果清楚地表明,行业层面所需的最少经验信息足以统计生成编码现实企业特定系统性风险的合成SCN。
英文摘要:
Production networks constitute the backbone of every economic system. They are inherently fragile as several recent crises clearly highlighted. Estimating the system-wide consequences of local disruptions (systemic risk) requires detailed information on the supply chain networks (SCN) at the firm-level, as systemic risk is associated with specific mesoscopic patterns. However, such information is usually not available and realistic estimates must be inferred from available sector-level data such as input-output tables and firm-level aggregate output data. Here we explore the ability of several maximum-entropy algorithms to infer realizations of SCNs characterized by a realistic level of systemic risk. We are in the unique position to test them against the actual Ecuadorian production network at the firm-level. Concretely, we compare various properties, including the Economic Systemic Risk Index, of the Ecuadorian production network with those from four inference models. We find that the most realistic systemic risk content at the firm-level is retrieved by the model that incorporates information about firm-specific input disaggregated by sector, indicating the importance of correctly accounting for firms' heterogeneous input profiles across sectors. Our results clearly demonstrate the minimal amount of empirical information at the sector level that is necessary to statistically generate synthetic SCNs that encode realistic firm-specific systemic risk.
