Fig. 3: Exposures between high-, middle, and low income countries.
From: Inequality in economic shock exposures across the global firm-level supply network
a Exposure (\(\log\)-scale) between firms separated into low-, middle- and high-income groups based on their country’s GDP per capita. Firms in middle-income countries experience the largest amount of exposure and high-income countries are mostly exposed to other high-income countries. Firms in low income countries are much more exposed than they expose others. SI Table S1 lists the income group for each country. b GDP per capita plotted against total exposure, \({E}_{down}^{d}\). A significant negative correlation of r = −0.52, p < 10−8 highlights that higher exposure is connected to lower income per capita. The red line represents the log-log ordinary least squares regression fit to the data of form y ~ x−1.31.
