• Paper presentation Wenhong Ding: Spillover effect of cyber risk along supply chain

Abstract: There is increasing interest to firms’ exposure to cyber risks in recent years. We use the a large sample of U.S. data breach events caused by cyberattacks. We document that cyberattacks significantly influence the target firms’ major customers. Results show that major customers reduce supply chain finance, reduce relationship-based investment and diversify suppliers when one supplier experiences cyberattacks.

• Paper presentation Hamed Jalali: Product proliferation and the bullwhip effect

Abstract: It is commonplace for companies to launch new products every so often. This product proliferation increases the demand uncertainty of existing products and thus impacts the bullwhip effect faced by the supply chain.
