X
e −(rs +δs )s ds
s=0
Expected dividends ds
Depends on supply chain partners (first-order).
Changes may be delayed due to inattention or invisibility.
Risk premium, δs
Depends on multiplicity of connections to transmit risk (second-order).
Reliability issues may create nonlinear effects on the risk of network position.

Empirical Observations: Data
Scope is limited to U.S. public listed firms
Stock data: CRSP (monthly returns over July 2011 - June 2013)
Supply chain sales data (SPLC)
Compustat: SEC public filings (10% rule).
Bloomberg terminal (320k units): conference call transcripts, capital market
presentations, firm press releases, product catalogs, firm websites.
Both are public information.
SEC’s Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 14 (SFAS 14)
“if 10% or more of the revenue of an enterprise is derived from sales to any single
customer, that fact and the amount of revenue from each such customer shall be
disclosed” in interim financial reports issued to shareholders

Calloway Golf/Coastcast (Cohen and Frazzini (2008))
Calloway misses earning forecase by half ($0.36 from $0.70).
Calloway’s stock price drops 30%.
Coastcast share price (50% of sales to Calloway) unchanged for one month.

Example Relationship
Supplier to Customer
Philips/Sony/Ericsson v. Nokia
Fire in Philips plant, key chip supplier for Nokia and Ericsson, in March 2000.
Philips states 1-week shutdown, then revises to 6 weeks.
Nokia (multi-sourcing) reacts quickly.
Ericsson (single sourcing) reacts slowly, lost $2.34B, acquired by Sony.

Hypothesis:
Suppliers’ and customers’ concurrent performance relates to the firm.
Supplier momentum (one-month lag) may be related to firm performance
(following Cohen and Frazzini (2008)).

Assumption
Acemoglu, Carvalho, Ozdaglar, & Tahbaz-Salehi (2012) (and the extension later)
finds that microeconomic idiosyncratic shocks lead to aggregate flucturations,
which means
A firm’s systematic risk is formed from the aggregation of idiosyncratic shocks.
Effects of connections may be nonlinear due to interactions - risk
diversification or aggregation?
Firm level shocks may be exogenously correlated due to geographical
proximity and sector proximity.
A manufacturer (e.g., Nokia) may have diversification incentives to add an
independent supplier to increase reliability (reduce systematic risk exposure
with greater centrality).
A distributor (e.g., a beverage distributor) may have concentration incentives
to add similar suppliers (e.g., French wineries) to build on existing capabilities
(increase systematic risk exposure with greater centrality).

Centrality Implications to Different Industries
Both shock correlation and network topology matter for systematic risk.
Methodology:
Expected returns should be explained by all systematic risk factors.
Split firms into quintiles based on centrality measures.
If ∆α 6= 0 for two extreme quintile portfolios, supply chain network leads to
”anomalies” in systematic risk.
Positions in the supply chain affects a firm’s exposure to the systematic risk
besides the network topology.
Upstream firms in manufacturing have diversification incentive to form
supplier connections to operationally hedge risk.
Downstream firms in logistics have concentration incentive to form supplier
connections to leverage economy of scale thus aggregate risk.

Equilibrium Network Model
Simple Investment Model
Suppose an economy with 2 regions (A and B) and 3 potential future states below
with equal probability (Prob (S = Si ) = 13 , ∀i ∈ {1, 2, 3}):
S1 : both A and B function;
S2 : A cannot produce and B can;
S3 : B cannot produce and A can.
Next, suppose 4 firms: 3 manufacturers and 1 distributor.
Manufacturers: limited capacity and payoff of 1 as long as one input region
functions.
Sources:
Firm 1 only from region A
Firm 2 only from region B
Firm 3 from both
Firm 4 is the distributor and connects to both A and B with a fixed cost of 1 in all
states.
Payoffs:
Π1 = {1, 0, 1}, Π2 = {1, 1, 0}, Π3 = {1, 1, 1}, Π4 = {1, 0, 0}.

Therefore,
µ3 < µ1 = µ2 < µ4
i.e. the manufacturers have lower risk than the distributor, and the dual sourcing
manufacturer is less risky than the single sourcing manufacturer.
Questions:
Does this result generalize to a broader classs of networks and what are other
empirical implications?
Are the output representations consistent with an equilibrium model of
production?

Equilibrium Network Model and Relationship to Literature
Previous literature focus on the sector level only.
Lucas (1977) argues that microeconomic shocks would average out at the
aggregated level proportional to √1n .
Acemoglu et al. (2012) suggests Lucas (1977) only holds under symmetric
network structure, and microeconomic shocks may lead to aggregated
fluctuations in asymmetric networks.
The change in the density of firm level connections is not captured.
We build a supply chain network model using two-level nested production
function capturing both the firm-level and sector-level connections.

Simulation
Step 1 (Relationship-formation): Each firm chooses a set of suppliers.
Ex-ante the market is perfectly competitive.
Step 2 (Input-acquisition): Each firm draws i.i.d. production shock. Input
quantity depends on the supplier actual production.
The dense network has a low sector weight variance (std 0.0001 v.s. 0.0023).
2. Supply Chain Network and Firm Volatility
A sparse network results in more volatile firm production than a dense network.

Both cases exhibit sizable and systematic deviations from the normal
distribution (2%: heavy left tail, 80%: heavy right tail).
Only the sector weight with modest connection density is normal distributed.
Sufficient Statistics for Firm Production Variation
With firm-level supply chain connection variation, there is no guarantee that the
firm-level production is normally distributed.

Conclusions & Future Directions
Conclusions and Future Directions
Evidence of concurrent supplier and customer effects plus supplier
momentum effects on returns.
Investors’ limited attention to supplier firms relative to customer firms.
Gradual diffusion of supply chain information downstream as opposed to
upstream.
Evidence of decreasing returns to centrality in manufacturing and increasing
returns to centrality in logistics.
Supply chain structure is an ex-ante determined and ex-post identifiable source
for systematic risk.
Upper-stream utility, mining, and construction firms behave similarly as
manufacturing.
Equilibrium model of firms connecting across sectors
Natural hedging decisions from manufacturers
Lower volatility effect for manufacturers implies conditions for increasing
conections to cause lower risk for upstream and higher risk for downstream
Future Directions
Additional empirical tests (including default propagation)
Incorporate of investment into the model formulation
