Resumo: This paper studies whether firms learn from major supply-chain disruptions and adjust their pro-duction network to create immunity to future similar shocks. I use a ten-year time period comprehending two events that caused major production network disruptions - The Great East Japan Earthquake, in March 2011, and the COVID-19 global pandemic, in 2020. I first show that companies with Japanese suppliers during the Japanese earthquake diversified their production network in the years following the disaster. I then document that this learning mechanism provided immunity to the downstream propagation of the COVID-19 shock.
