Abstract

How emerging economies could improve their self-resilience is our focus. This paper employs the hypothetical extraction method, PageRank algorithm and the 2005–2019 Comtrade database to analyse the impacts of domestic market scale on the economy’s resilience in the value chains and conditions under which it is affected. The empirical results show that expanding the scale of the domestic market would significantly improve the economy’s resilience in both the RCEP and G7 value chains. Our conclusions support the enrichment of pathways for economies with relatively backward technologies to cope with unexpected shocks and gradually restore economic vitality.
