About
Ankai Xu is a prominent scholar in international trade and global value chains, with a particular focus on the intersection of economic governance and crisis resilience. Her most cited work, "COVID‐19 and global value chains: A discussion of arguments on value chain organisation and the role of the WTO" (2024, 16 citations), offers a critical analysis of how the pandemic reshaped global production networks. In this paper, Xu examines both firm-level behavioral shifts and government policy interventions, arguing that the WTO must adapt to ensure stability and fairness in post-pandemic trade. Her research provides a nuanced framework for understanding the tension between efficiency-driven global value chains and the need for greater resilience, making her a key voice in debates on trade policy reform. Xu’s work is widely cited by economists and policymakers seeking to navigate the complexities of global economic integration in an era of disruption. Her contributions are essential reading for students and researchers interested in the future of international trade, supply chain governance, and the evolving role of multilateral institutions.
