Abstract

Within the background of anti-globalisation, the ramifications of external disturbances on economic stability have garnered heightened scrutiny, emerging as a pivotal concern. Among these disturbances, trade shocks stand out as the most immediate and palpable representation of external perturbations, playing a crucial role in inducing output volatility in economies with a strong external orientation. This research employs a dynamic Leontief model, grounded in industrial linkage theory, and integrates empirical data from 42 predominant industrial sectors within China. The objective is to elucidate the transmission dynamics of import and export trade shocks on economic oscillations via industrial interconnections, utilizing numerical simulation techniques. The findings indicate that export trade shocks introduce volatility into the economy through both a direct pull effect and an indirect combination of pull and push effects, which are further magnified by inter-sectoral linkages. Conversely, import trade shocks can potentially counteract economic expansion by fostering the growth of import-substitution industries.
