Comparison between the baseline and the alternative intermediate solutions.

Month	Presence of resilience (RESI)	Absence of resilience (∼RESI)
March	A more complex solution emerges, with 3 out of 6 configurations including the absence of very high income (∼GNI). This, however, is accompanied by the absence of strong government response (∼GOV) and deaths (∼DEATHS), or the presence of globalization (ECOG/SOCG), healthcare preparedness (GHS) and logistics infrastructure (LPI).	A more complex solution emerges that resembles very closely the baseline one. One difference is that GHS appears in 2 configurations but accompanied by DEATHS.
April	A more complex solution is generated, which includes variants of the same, baseline, configuration. Substantively speaking, the results are completely consistent with the baseline findings.	A more complex solution emerges, which is consistent with the baseline one. The importance of DEATHS is even more pronounced. But like in March GHS appears in 2 configurations, this time accompanied by ∼ECOG/∼SOCG or ∼LPI.
May	A slightly more complex, but substantively similar, solution is produced. However, one configuration is not in agreement with the main findings since it has GOV, DEATHS and ∼GHS as components. Upon scrutiny though, this configuration represents only Malta, hence we do not consider this a serious threat to the validity of the baseline results.	Like April, but this time the solution shows that even prepared countries (GHS) can fail to achieve trade resilience if they lack the logistics infrastructure (∼LPI) and are constrained by strong government intervention (GOV).
June	A less complex but substantively very similar solution is produced	As above (May).
July	An almost identical solution is produced.	A less complex but substantively very similar solution. Regarding GHS, the same holds as in May and June.
