| Abstract: | This thesis investigates the vulnerabilities in North American economic networks using network analysis. The literature lacks comprehensive studies on the interconnected vulnerabilities across the USA, Canada, and Mexico, particularly against cross-border disruptions. This research addresses this gap by applying network analysis to map the economic networks represented by the OECD’s Inter-Country Input-Output Tables. Findings highlight key industries, like Wholesale and retail trade, as critical across all three countries. Differences in vulnerability levels were evident, with industries like financial services in Canada and Motor vehicles manufacturing in Mexico showing unique risks. The regional analysis shows that disruptions in major industries such as the US Wholesale and retail trade and Mexican Motor vehicles could lead to significant economic repercussions across borders, affecting the network’s overall resilience and efficiency. |
