This article's study explores the far-reaching economic effects of supply chain disruptions caused by the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake in Japan. Despite the affected areas contributing only 4.7% of national output, supply chain interdependencies led to a 1.2% decline in Japan's GDP the following year. The findings underscore the critical role of supply chain networks in amplifying localized disaster impacts on broader economies.
