    Cling Together, Swing Together: The Contagious Effects of COVID-19 on Developing Countries through Global Value Chains

    This paper aims to estimate the economic vulnerability of developing countries to disruptions in global value chains (GVCs) due to the pandemic. We confirm conjecture that countries most affected are those highly integrated in GVCs, mostly South-East Asian countries.
