Productivity Spillovers from Foreign MNEs on Domestic Manufacturing Firms: Is Co-location Always a Plus?
Mariotti, Sergio; Mutinelli, Marco; Nicolini, Marcella; … - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2011
The paper analyses productivity spillovers from foreign MNEs on domestic manufacturing firms. Using a database on foreign MNEs in Italy, our results reveal that local firms do benefit from the presence of foreign MNEs, and the effect is higher when local and foreign firms in manufacturing...

Properties of a Non-Competitive Electricity Market Dominated by Hydroelectric Power
Hoel, Michael; Førsund, Finn R. - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2004
An important conclusion from the literature on hydropower is that if there are no other constraints than the available water reservoirs for a year, and operating costs are ignored, the competitive (and socially optimal) outcome is characterized by the (present value) price being constant through...

The Socio-Economic Value of Natural Riverbanks in the Netherlands
Ruijgrok, E.C.M.; Nillesen, E.E.M. - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2004
Ecologists and economists both use a different approach to determine the value of nature. Its ecological value can be measured using criteria like rarity and diversity of species in an ecosystem. The economic value can be determined using non-market valuation techniques. This paper focuses on an...

A Future for the Dead Sea Basin: Water Culture among Israelis, Palestinians and Jordanians
Lipchin, Clive - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2006
The Dead Sea basin plays a major role for regional economic development (industry, tourism and agriculture) in the Middle East. This potential is threatened by the steady disappearance of the Dead Sea. Since around 1930 the water level of the Dead Sea has fallen by about 25 m, about half of this...

Welfare and Distribution Effects of Water Pricing Policies
Ruijs, Arjan - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2007
In this paper, distribution and welfare effects of changes in block price systems are evaluated. A method is discussed to determine, for a Marshallian demand function, equivalent variation in case of a block price system. The method is applied to analyze welfare and distribution effects of...
