Structural determinants of global trade in graphic paper and pulp products

Both trade and production of graphic paper have decreased over the last three decades. While this general decrease can partially be attributed to increased prominence of information technology, the overall figure is devoid of context and thus of most of its meaning to global economy. In this analysis of the international trade of graphic paper and pulp products, Xinran Shen and Marko Lovrić, from EFI, aim to break this trend down across the geographical and temporal scope, across its supply-chain commodities and to find out what drives the global trade patterns.
