【摘要】This paper provides a quantitative account of the role of production networks in international GDP comovement. We propose an accounting framework to decompose comovement into the components due to correlated shocks, and to the transmission of shocks across countries through the production network. We apply this decomposition in a multi-country multi-sector DSGE model, implemented on data for 30 countries and up to 28 years. We provide an analytical solution to the global influence matrix that characterizes every country's general equilibrium GDP elasticities with respect to various shocks anywhere in the world. We then infer supply shocks at the country-sector level based on the observed value-added growth rates and the global influence matrix. We find that the recovered shocks are positively correlated, and this shock correlation accounts for two thirds of the observed GDP comovement in our preferred calibration. International transmission through trade is responsible for the remaining one third.
