Global supply chain and customer exposure to COVID-19, General Electric (GE). This figure illustrates a firm's exposure to COVID-19 through its global supply chain and customer locations. Using GE as an example, Panel A shows the company's suppliers in 2019. The lines denote connections between the headquarters of GE and the location of each of its suppliers. Each node represents a supplier in the supply chain network. Panel B shows GE's revenues by country in 2019. The lines denote connections between the headquarters of GE and the country of its customers. Each node represents a country to which the firm sells its products, and the size of the node represents the relative proportion of the firm's pre-pandemic revenues in a country. Similar to Fig. 1, this figure plots the cumulative coronavirus cases per one million people reported in each economy at the end of May 2020. Darker colors indicate more confirmed cases per capita. Gray indicates that no data are available. Source: FactSet Revere; Johns Hopkins University, Center for Systems Science and Engineering.
