Abstract
Description
In many parts of the world, warfare continues to threaten supply chains, worldwide production, and global stability. Economic production is critical for a nation (and those who rely on its exports) in peacetime, but may be even more important during war. While some industries are vulnerable and witness production losses during war, others increase their output. This article discusses how firms’ processes affect vulnerability while exploring the effects of civil war on productivity.
