Henry Yeung discusses his recent monograph , exploring how electronics global production networks have evolved since 2018.
In this lecture, Henry Yeung will discuss key observations on the co-evolutionary trajectories of electronics global production networks in semiconductors, personal computers, mobile handsets and consumer electronics up to the late 2010s. This was a historical peak period in the global markets for these intermediate and end products, just before the devastating impacts arising from the US-China trade war since mid-2018 and the COVID-19 pandemic since 2020.
While some of these trends had been established ahead of the 2010s, their intensity and significance became more apparent during the 2010s. Professor Yeung will then examine their most significant implications for the global economy in the post-pandemic 2020s.
