Saskia Meuchelböck

Saskia Meuchelböck is a Postdoctoral Researcher at Aarhus University and a Fellow at the university's Research Centre for Firms and Industry Dynamics (FIND). She concurrently serves as a Kiel Institute Fellow, collaborating with the Research Center for International Trade on the "Rethinking Global Supply Chains: Measurement, Impact and Policy" project. Her work addresses critical intersections of international trade, supply chain resilience, and globalization's socioeconomic impacts on firms and labor markets.

Her research program centers on supply chain disruptions triggered by climate events (notably Rhine River low water levels) and geopolitical conflicts (including Russia sanctions). She examines firm adaptation strategies, macroeconomic spillovers, and currency pricing mechanisms using integrated micro-macro methodologies. Key contributions include quantifying sanctions' heterogeneous firm impacts and modeling climate disruption effects on transportation networks and production systems.

Analysis of her publication record reveals a methodological emphasis on combining granular firm data with structural economic modeling to address contemporary global challenges. Her work consistently bridges theoretical frameworks with policy-relevant applications, particularly in trade policy design and climate adaptation strategies for supply chain resilience.

Meuchelböck operates at the nexus of two major research ecosystems: the Research Centre for Firms and Industry Dynamics at Aarhus University and the Research Center for International Trade at the Kiel Institute. Through the "Rethinking Global Supply Chains" initiative, she contributes to developing novel metrics for supply chain vulnerability assessment and evidence-based policy formulation in an era of increasing global instability.
