Strengthening the Resilience of Pandemic-Related Medical Product Supply Chains - Assessing the Relationship Between the WHO Pandemic Agreement and the WTO

The COVID-19 pandemic exposed critical vulnerabilities in global public health governance and the international trade system, particularly in the distribution of essential medical products. Despite entering a post-pandemic era, the risk of future pandemics necessitates urgent international cooperation to enhance preparedness and supply chain resilience. This paper examines the limitations of the World Trade Organization (WTO) in regulating trade-restrictive measures during the pandemic and explores the potential of the forthcoming WHO pandemic agreement to guide future responses.

Gestión de la cadena de suministro

Dado el entorno actual del comercio mundial, una adecuada gestión de la cadena de suministro, desde las actividades primarias como las instalaciones, los procesos logísticos de abastecimiento, transporte y distribución, hasta las actividades interfuncionales como la información, los proveedores y la fijación de precios, permite aumentar la eficiencia y la capacidad de respuesta en el nivel de servicio que prestan las organizaciones empresariales, posicionándolas como líderes en una de las áreas de mayor impacto estratégico en los negocios globales.

La transparencia y la trazabilidad en las cadenas de suministro

Este documento examina la evolución y relevancia de la trazabilidad, definida como la capacidad de rastrear productos, lotes o componentes a lo largo de la cadena de suministro, desde la materia prima hasta el consumidor final (Hockenberger, 2014). Durante más de 50 años, la incorporación de tecnologías como el código de barras y la estandarización mediante GS1 e ISO han permitido que la trazabilidad se convierta en una herramienta esencial para monitorear procesos productivos.

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.

COVID-19 shock on supply chains: evidence from a developing country

In this paper we evaluate the impact of COVID-19 lockdown policies on Tunisia’s supply chains. We estimate a Poisson Pseudo Maximum Likelihood model using data on bilateral imports for intermediate, capital, and final goods for the years 2019 and 2020 at the country–month–product level. Our results show that, overall, lockdowns in Tunisia’s partner countries had a significant and negative effect on imports made under both offshore and onshore regimes.

Impact of COVIDE19 on Tunisian Imports, Economic Research Forum Working Paper

COVID-19 pandemic caused significant disruption of trade flows between countries, revealing the vulnerability of global value chains. This unexpected event sparked a public debate on devising new policies to increase the resilience of value chains. This study identifies vulnerabilities related to supply chains with a specific focus on Tunisian imports during the period 2019-2020. To this end, we select three potential drivers of import vulnerability based on post-pandemic reports and discussions and assess their impact on Tunisia’s overall imports using quantitative analysis.

Regulating Sustainable Minerals in Electronics Supply Chains: Local Power Struggles and the 'Hidden Costs' of Global Tin Supply Chain Governance

Voluntary supply chain regulation has proliferated in recent decades in response to concerns about the social and environmental impacts of global production and trade. Yet the capacity of supply chain regulation to influence production practices on the ground has been persistently questioned.
