A substantial share of firm entry and exit observed in administrative data reflects mergers, acquisitions, spin-offs, and other forms of corporate restructuring rather than genuine market creation or destruction. This distinction matters for productivity decompositions, which typically interpret entry and exit as manifestations of Schumpeterian creative destruction. Using linked administrative data on Finnish manufacturing firms…

This paper builds on the network model of Galeotti, et al. 2010, to examine how the destruction of local infrastructure shapes social capital. In the model, voting is a coordination game with strategic complementarities, implying that denser social networks foster higher turnout. We test these predictions in the context of the 1937 attack on civilians…

Understanding this process requires a historical perspective on how firms and networks coordinate, strategize, and respond to the effects of deglobalization. This paper examines firm-level, network-enabled strategic responses to deglobalization by analysing a selection of key firms operating within…
