• When Nature Strikes: Flood Exposure and Import-Based Adaptation Among Indian Firms
About: This paper uses firm-level data from the Prowess database to study the impact of floods on Indian firms. It examines both the effects of flood exposure on firm performance and the mechanisms through which some firms are better able to withstand these shocks. The analysis focuses on the role of pre-shock importing as a potential source of resilience.
• When Politics Disrupts the Earth: Geopolitical Tensions and Global Critical Raw Mineral Dependency
About: This paper aims to look at how trade of critical raw minerals (CRM) affects countries relationships. It investigates the mechanisms by which import dependence on strategic resources (e.g., rare earths, lithium, copper) influences power asymmetries, alliance formations, and conflict dynamics between nations. By analyzing empirical case studies and theoretical frameworks, the paper aims to uncover how CRM trade transitions from economic exchange to geopolitical leverage, ultimately reshaping global power structures and security architectures.
• Measuring Bilateral Geopolitical Tensions
Co-authors: Jean-Charles Bricongne, Nathalie El-Bazzal, Jamel Saadaoui, Thomas Renault
About: This project aims to create a database to analyze how relationships between countries evolve over time. Based on news headlines from the GDELT Project and UN voting resolutions, we can observe how these relationships vary at a monthly level.
