Fortune -- So now that governments are pledging hundreds of billions of dollars to shore up their chip supply chains, will we see another chip shortage in the future? The unfortunate answer is: Yes, we will, writes Illinois CS affiliate faculty member Rakesh Kumar. Chip shortages result from a mismatch between supply and demand that cannot be addressed quickly either by chip manufacturers by scaling up production or by markets by adapting to the chip production profile. The challenge of resolving the two isn’t going away—and may even grow in size.
