The Veblen-Gerschenkron Effect of FDI in Mezzogiorno and East Germany
Urban, Dieter M.; Peri, Giovanni - 2002
The presence of foreign multinational enterprises (MNEs) should benefit local economies. In particular if MNEs are particularly productive compared to domestic firms they may promote learning and catch-up of local firms. Such channel of spillovers from MNEs to local firms is known as the Veblen...

The long-run relationship between outward FDI and total factor productivity: Evidence for developing countries
Herzer, Dierk - 2010
This paper examines the long-run relationship between outward foreign direct investment (FDI) and total factor productivity for a sample of 33 developing countries over the period 1980-2005. Using panel cointegration techniques, we find that: (i) outward FDI has, on average, a positive long-run...

Firm-Level Productivity Spillovers from FDI in Latin American Countries
Mühlen, Henning - 2013
Foreign direct investment (FDI) projects are assumed to be accompanied by potential external effects - so-called FDI spillovers - which are supposed to affect productivity levels of other firms in a host country. Empirical results on this topic are inconclusive and most studies focus on one...

Real convergence and the determinants of growth in EU candidate and potential candidate countries - a panel data approach
Borys, Magdalena Morgese; Polgár, Éva Katalin; Zlate, … - 2008
The EU candidate and potential candidate countries have made considerable progress in economic transition and integration into the world economy within less than two decades. Nevertheless, gaps in terms of income per capita relative to the euro area remain large. This suggests that the...

Structural development accounting
Gancia, Gino; Müller, Andreas; Zilibotti, Fabrizio - 2011
We construct and estimate a unified model combining three of the main sources of cross-country income disparities: differences in factor endowments, barriers to technology adoption and the inappropriateness of frontier technologies to local conditions. The key components are different types of...

Productivity growth and micro-level restructuring: Finnish experiences during the turbulent decades
Maliranta, Mika - 2001
The appearance of productivity-enhancing restructuring at the plant level (the socalled between and net entry effects) has contributed substantially to the acceleration of labour and total factor productivity growth in Finnish manufacturing in the period from the latter part of the 1980s up to...

Conditional beta- and sigma-convergence in space: A maximum likelihood approach
Pfaffermayr, Michael - 2007
Empirical work on regional growth under spatial spillovers uses two workhorse models: the spatial Solow model and Verdoorn's model. This paper contrasts these two views on regional growth processes and demonstrates that in a spatial setting the speed of convergence is heterogenous in both...
