Abstract

Firms that are part of GVCs are better protected from the transmission channels for the negative effects of COVID-19. They also show greater resilience and so better performance. There are nuances in the results depending on whether GVC affiliation is defined in a moderately lax or strict way. The results highlight the detrimental effect of the global trend toward inward looking protectionism.
