We investigated COVID-19’s effect on firm performance through the case of the U.S. textile and apparel industry and showed that textile and apparel firms experienced a sharp decline in firm performance following the COVID-19 outbreak. Specifically, the textile and apparel industry has been affected more adversely than have other industries, including transportation, entertainment, and hospitality. Furthermore, COVID-19’s adverse effect on firm performance in the textile and apparel industry is greater than that of the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the 2008 recession. We additionally found that the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act benefited the textile and apparel industry significantly more than other industries immediately following its announcement. The empirical findings of this study contribute to the existing literature by providing insight into the textile and apparel firms’ financial performance during the COVID-19 outbreak.}, journal={JOURNAL OF THE TEXTILE INSTITUTE}, author={Cho, Buhyung and Saki, Zahra}, year={2021}, month={Jun} }

The focal metric for analysis is export values expressed in U.S. dollars. Export data were queried using various time scenarios including: 2013-2017, 1996-2008 and pre and post Multi-Fibre Arrangement (MFA) (1996-2005, 2006-2017, respectively). The five year period was selected based on the goal to identify current impacts and policy implications. To identify complex patterns of trade flows between exporting and destination countries, a visual tool is adopted. An interactive Sankey diagram presented in static form illustrates destination countries for the top seven global worn clothing exporters.}, number={1}, booktitle={International Textile and Apparel Association Annual Conference}, author={Moore, M. and Saki, Z.}, year={2019} }
