Regional differences in intersectoral linkages and diverse patterns of structural transformation
Paul, Saumik; Raju, Dhushyanth - 2022
Intersectoral linkages can act as shock propagation channels and shape the pattern of structural transformation. To our … knowledge, no research has examined how subnational differences in intersectoral linkages impact such spillover effects. We … hypothesize that regional differences in local economic shocks diversify intersectoral linkages, and, consequently, produce …

Competitiveness at the country-sector level : new measures based on global value chains
Marczak, Martyna; Beissinger, Thomas - 2018
We propose the so-called domestic "embodied unit labor costs" (EULC) at the country-sector level as a new cost-related basis for measures of international competitiveness. EULC take into account that a sector's labor costs constitute only a small share of its total cost which to a large extent...

A sequential Malmquist-Luenberger productivity index
Oh, Donghyun; Heshmati, Almas - 2009
This study proposes an alternative methodology for measuring environmentally sensitive productivity growth. The rationale of this methodology is to consider the features of technology appropriately by excluding a spurious technical regress based on the macroeconomic perspective. In order to...

Regional determinants of establishments' innovation activities : a multi-level approach
Bellmann, Lutz; Crimmann, Andreas; Evers, Katalin; … - 2013
This paper analyses the determinants of different innovation types. Beside a wide range of firm characteristics also the effects of regional factors are estimated using three-level random effect logit models which account for the clustered and longitudinal structure of the data. The analyses...

Local and spatial cointegration in the wage curve : a spatial panel analysis for German regions
Kosfeld, Reinhold; Dreger, Christian - 2015
The wage curve introduced by Blanchflower and Oswald (1990, 1994) postulates a negative correlation between wages and unemployment. Empirical results focus on particular theoretical channels establishing the relationship. Panel models mostly draw on unionized bargaining or the efficiency wage...

Towards an East German wage curve : NUTS boundaries, labour market regions and unemployment spillovers
Kosfeld, Reinhold; Dreger, Christian - 2017
The relevance of spatial effects in the wage curve can be rationalized by the model of monopsonistic competition in regional labour markets. However, distortions in extracting the regional unemployment effects arise in standard regional (i.e. NUTS) classifications as they fail to adequately...

Is demand-pulled innovation equally important in different groups of firms?
Piva, Mariacristina (contributor);  … - 2006
Previous empirical literature - mainly cross-sectional - has tested the demand-pull hypothesis and found that overall, evidence does not conflict with the idea that innovation may be driven by output. Using a balanced panel of 216 Italian manufacturing firms over the 1995-2000 period, and...
