    Strong Supply Chains Transform Public Health: By ensuring the efficient and effective delivery of medicines and commodities, supply chains support healthy populations and regional health security

    Donato, Sean; Parry, Jane; Roth, Susann | November 2016
    Abstract
    Health commodity supply chains are a critical element of a well-functioning health system and a vital input to advancing national and regional health security goals. Health security is a key issue in Asia and the Pacific due to the region’s vulnerability to the threat of emerging communicable diseases, particularly zoonoses (diseases transmitted from animals), vector-borne diseases, and drug-resistant pathogens. This vulnerability has been demonstrated in recent years by outbreaks of severe acute respiratory syndrome, avian influenza, and more recently pandemic influenza. The development of artemisinin-resistant malaria in remote areas in the Greater Mekong Subregion and the increasing spread of multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis and other drug-resistant pathogens further highlight the threats posed by infectious diseases and the need to achieve a well-functioning medicines supply chain, particularly to achieve malaria elimination.

      Supply Chains and Credit-Market Shocks: Some Implications for Emerging Markets 

      Jinjarak, Yothin (Asian Development Bank Institute, 2013-11-06)
      Driven by the increasingly important role of supply chains in global production, this paper studies empirical association between global credit-market shocks and firm behavior towards liquidity needs across countries and industries. Focusing on the adjustment of working-capital financing, we find two pieces of supporting evidence from international firm-level panel data covering the period 2002:I–2012:IV. ...

      Trade Costs, Time, and Supply Chain Reliability 

      Kumar, Utsav; Shepherd, Ben; Dime, Roselle (Asian Development Bank, 2018-06-15)
      This paper uses measures of international transport time in median and standard deviation based on shipment-level data from the Universal Postal Union, to analyze the effect of time on trade costs. The results show that median shipping times increase trade costs by a substantial amount. The determinants of shipping times are also analyzed and find that geographical distance is the most reliable ...
