The panel was split over the size of the risk that the United States could use its financial leverage against Europe and the UK, with significant scepticism around the EU or UK’s ability to use financial leverage against the United States.

Why information campaigns may backfire: Voter heterogeneity and network effects
Political information campaigns that perform well in focus groups and pilot studies may backfire when applied at scale. This column uses a field experiment in the 2023 presidential election in Argentina to demonstrate how a campaign can affect voters through both direct and indirect channels. A small but significant share of voters disagreed with an information leaflet about an outsider candidate. These outraged voters were more active in communicating with their social networks than voters who agreed with the campaign message, creating a net result that was the opposite of the campaign’s intended impact.

Vietnam appears to have benefited from the trade reallocation effect during 2018-2022 – significantly increasing its domestic value added and reducing Chinese value added in its strategic sector exports to the US – rather than trade rerouting from China.

Demystifying trade patterns in a fragmenting world
It has been argued that ‘connector’ countries can benefit from trade tensions by bridging the gap between trade blocs. This column examines trade flows of six Asian emerging markets from 2018 to 2022, distinguishing between trade reallocation and rerouting. While the impact of US–China trade tensions on most of these countries is unclear, Vietnam appears to have experienced trade reallocation rather than trade rerouting, supported by rising domestic production and stronger inward FDI. Despite potential short-term gains, trade reallocation increases connector countries’ vulnerability to geoeconomic fragmentation, with losses for all countries in the long run.

Supply chain disruptions have been a defining feature of the global economy since 2020. Geopolitical risks, diplomatic tensions, regional instability, and environmental risks are exposing critical vulnerabilities in global sourcing models.

Inventories, diversification, and trade vulnerabilities
Reducing supply dependencies and vulnerabilities is now a cornerstone of economic policy. This column analyses how French manufacturing firms used inventories and diversified their country-specific supply risks between 2012 and 2023. The use of these strategies varies widely across firms, even within industries. Inventories and diversification are substitutes: firms that diversify more tend to stockpile less, suggesting that inventories act as a buffer when firms are unable to reduce risk through diversification. It matters for assessing trade vulnerabilities: products sourced from few countries may appear exposed to risk, yet in practice they are often imported by firms holding large stocks.
