Assess learners' ability to analyze how macroeconomic shocks propagate systemic risk through supply chain finance and trade credit within global manufacturing networks. Scope includes contagion mechanisms (balance-sheet and liquidity channels), network topology and supplier–buyer interdependencies, key empirical indicators (days payable/receivable, trade credit spreads), modeling and stress-testing approaches (input–output, network contagion, agent-based scenarios), and evaluation of mitigation and policy responses. Questions will require interpretation of quantitative indicators, model-based scenario analysis, and design of risk-management or regulatory strategies.
