Does Foreign Direct Investment Transfer Technology Across Borders? A Reexamination

Bitzer, Jurgen; Kerekes, Monika - 2015

Reexamining foreign direct investment (FDI) as a potential channel for knowledge diffusion - based on industry data … from seventeen OECD countries during the period 1973-2000 - we find that FDI-receiving countries benefit strongly from FDI …-related knowledge spillovers. We do not find evidence for positive FDI-related technology sourcing effects. Instead, our results suggest …

How Important Is Total Factor Productivity for Growth in Central, Eastern and Southeastern European Countries?

Benkovskis, Konstantins; Fadejeva, Ludmila; Wörz, Julia - In: Focus on European Economic Integration (2013) 1, pp. 8-27

The evolution of total factor productivity (TFP) is a key determinant of long-run economic growth of a country. In this paper we analyze the contributions from technological change at the industry level to an economy’s aggregate growth performance. Our derivation of economywide TFP growth...

Econometric Estimation of the “Constant Elasticity of Substitution" Function in R: Package micEconCES

Henningsen, Arne; Henningsen, Géraldine - Institut for Fødevare- og Ressourceøkonomi, … - 2011

The Constant Elasticity of Substitution (CES) function is popular in several areas of economics, but it is rarely used in econometric analysis because it cannot be estimated by standard linear regression techniques. We discuss several existing approaches and propose a new grid-search approach...

Koren, Miklós; Tenreyro, Silvana - In: American Economic Review 103 (2013) 1, pp. 378-414

Economies at early stages of development are frequently shaken by large changes in growth rates, whereas advanced economies tend to experience relatively stable growth rates. To explain this pattern, we propose a model of technological diversification. Production makes use of input-varieties...

Nested stochastic possibility frontiers with heterogeneous capital inputs

Erber, Georg; Madlener, Reinhard - 2007

This paper studies the productivity impact of heterogeneous capital inputs of selected EU-15 member countries and of the U.S. at the macroeconomic level. The stochastic possibility frontiers approach of Battese and Coelli (1992) applied here is used to identify neutralities or non-neutralities...

Decompositions of profitability change using cost functions

Diewert, W. Erwin - In: Journal of Econometrics 183 (2014) 1, pp. 58-66

The paper presents a decomposition of a production unit’s cost ratio over two periods into explanatory factors. The explanatory factors are growth in the unit’s cost efficiency, output growth, changes in input prices and technical progress. In order to implement the decomposition, an...
