Network features in shaping sectors’ responses to the Spillover effects of Covid -19 shocks
As inter-sectoral linkages are being increasingly organized in complex networks, It has become inconceivable to study sectors’ responses to exogenous shocks without considering the nature of these invisible but real linkages Leontief (1941). However, although important, this research field remains poorly analyzed in both the theoretical and empirical literature. In this paper, we aim to investigate how sectors’ network centrality and local density measures impact their responsiveness to sectoral shocks propagating through input output linkages.
