A model of the indirect losses from negative shocks in production and finance

Abstract

Economies are frequently affected by natural disasters and both domestic and overseas financial crises. These events disrupt production and cause multiple other types of economic losses, including negative impacts on the banking system. Understanding the transmission mechanism that causes various negative second-order post-catastrophe effects is crucial if policymakers are to develop more efficient recovery strategies. In this work, we introduce a credit-based adaptive regional input-output (ARIO) model to analyse the effects of disasters and crises on the supply chain and bank-firm credit networks. Using real Japanese networks and the exogenous shocks of the 2008 Lehman Brothers bankruptcy and the Great East Japan Earthquake (March 11, 2011), this paper aims to depict how these negative shocks propagate through the supply chain and affect the banking system. The creditbased ARIO model is calibrated using Latin hypercube sampling and the design of experiments procedure to reproduce the short-term (one-year) dynamics of the Japanese industrial production index after the 2008 Lehman Brothers bankruptcy and the 2011 Great East Japan earthquake. Then, through simulation experiments, we identify the chemical and petroleum manufacturing and transport sectors as the most vulnerable Japanese industrial sectors. Finally, the case of the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake is simulated for Japanese prefectures to understand differences among regions in terms of globally engendered indirect economic losses. Tokyo and Osaka prefectures are the most vulnerable locations because they hold greater concentrations of the above-mentioned vulnerable industrial sectors.

An empirical behavioral order-driven model with price limit rules

“…We illustrate briefly the model validation of these three stylized facts. We note that, although there are general validation approaches in agent-based models (Fagiolo et al 2019;Krichene et al 2020), it is sufficient to check the main stylized facts (Mike and Farmer 2008;Gu and Zhou 2009a).…”

Impact Of Natural Disaster On Local Tax Revenue

“…However, overcoming the problem of poverty is not easy because poverty alleviation efforts are always constrained by various problems, one of which is unpredictable economic shocks that affect regional development planning. According to Krichene et al (2020) the economy is very vulnerable to negative shocks, both those caused by financial and economic crises and those caused by nature in the form of disasters.…”

Cascading bankruptcies under simultaneous sectorial shocks: Theory and application to the Tunisian banking sector

“…The authors show that the default of large (systemic) firms has an adverse macroeconomic impact, and can trigger default cascades leading to an amplification of the original recessionary effect. Krichene et al (2020) develops a credit‐based adaptive regional input–output (ARIO) model for Japan to analyse the effects of disasters and crises on the supply chain and bank‐firm credit networks. Chen et al (2020) constructs a network model of credit risk contagion in the interbank lending market.…”
