Görg, Holger; Henry, Michael; Strobl, Eric - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2007

This paper investigates whether government support can act to increase exporting activity. We use a uniquely rich data set on Irish manufacturing plants and employ an empirical strategy that combines a non-parametric matching procedure with a difference-in-differences estimator in order to deal...

Employment Protection, International Specialization, and Innovation

Saint-Paul, Gilles - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 1996

This paper develops a model to analyse the implications of firing costs on incentives for R&D and international specialization. The key idea is that, to avoid paying firing costs, the country with a rigid labour market will tend to produce relatively secure goods, at late stages in their product...

Imports and TFP at the Firm Level: The Role of Absorptive Capacity

Augier, Patricia; Cadot, Olivier; Dovis, Marion - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2009

Productivity (TFP) at the firm level on a panel of Spanish firms covering the period between 1991 and 2002. We use two alternative … approaches. In the first, we estimate TFP using the Olley-Pakes semi-parametric method and apply a diff-in-diff estimator with a … control group constructed by propensity-score matching. In the second, direct method, we estimate TFP with imported inputs as …

A Theoretical Analysis of Public Funding for Research

De Fraja, Gianni - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2011

This paper studies government funding for scientific research. Funds must be distributed among different research institutions and allocated between basic and applied research. Informational constraints prevent less productive institutions to be given any government funding. In order to...

The Core-Periphery Model With Forward-Looking Expectations

Baldwin, Richard - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 1999

The 'core-periphery model' is vitiated by its assumption of static expectations. That is, migration (inter-regional or intersectoral) is the key to agglomeration, but migrants base their decision on current wage differences alone--even though migration predictably alters wages and workers are...

Vying for Foreign Direct Investment: An EU-Type Model of Tax Competition

Razin, Assaf; Sadka, Efraim - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2006

This paper brings out the special mechanism through which taxes influence bilateral FDI, when investment decisions are two-fold in the presence of fixed setup flows costs. For each pair of source-host countries, there is a set of factors determining whether aggregate FDI flows will occur at all,...

Globalisation and Migratory Pressures from Developing Countries: A Simulation Analysis

de Melo, Jaime; Ettinger, Charles; Faini, Riccardo - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 1997

We use a Ricardo-Viner model to study the determinants of the supply of outmigration in developing countries in a model with heterogenous households. We assume that heterogeneity and migration costs prevent households from total migration. Data are calibrated to two archetypal developing...

Modeling the Offshoring of White-Collar Services: From Comparative Advantage to the New Theories of Trade and FDI

Markusen, James R. - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2005

Trade theory consists of a portfolio of models. What elements might be useful in modeling the offshoring of white-collar services, or do these issues call for an entirely fresh approach? I try to identifying some of the important aspects of this phenomenon and then argue that modeling could...

Domestic Institutions and the Bypass Effect of Financial Globalization

Ju, Jiandong; Wei, Shang-Jin - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2007

This paper proposes a simple model to study the relationship between domestic institutions - financial system, corporate governance, and property rights protection - and patterns of international capital flows. It studies conditions under which financial globalization can be a substitute for...
