Understanding the heterogenous outcomes of the Covid-19 Pandemic: A multi-level investigation

Beskrivning

The project studies Swedish companies' restructuring of operations between countries during the global Covid19 crisis. Countries have introduced different degrees/types of restrictions that affect economies differently, which affects how individual companies redistribute resources between countries. We identify differences, constraints, and economic factors at the country, industry, and firm levels that explain why some companies survive and expand while others need to redistribute operations or exit markets. This is followed by an analysis of the impact on company performance and business volume. We contribute to understanding companies' sensitivity to global economic shocks and how they act in global crises.
