International R&D Spillovers : Technology Transfer vs. R&D Synergies

Dieppe, Alistair - 2013

We estimate a model of international technological spillovers that allows for both international and inter … direct technology transfer is positive while there are negative R&D spillovers. However, since R&D is found to positively … affect TFP in own sector, the model implies that after accounting for both R&D and TFP spillovers, there is a total positive …

Reading the Footprints : How Foreign Investors Shape Countries’ Participation in Global Value Chains

Buelens, Christian - 2017

We show that traditional gravity variables play a significant role in explaining trade flows related to global value chain participation. We find evidence that cooperation costs – measured by linguistic and geographical proximity – are more relevant for trade that reflects cross-border...

European competitiveness - A semiparametric stochastic metafrontier analysis at the firm level

Verschelde, Marijn; Dumont, Michel; Rayp, Glenn; … - 2014

In this paper a semiparametric stochastic metafrontier approach is used to obtain insight into firm-level competitiveness in Europe. We differ from standard TFP studies at the firm level as we simultaneously allow for inefficiency, noise and do not impose a functional form on the input-output...

Trade integration of Central and Eastern European countries: lessons from a gravity model

Bussière, Matthieu; Fidrmuc, Jarko; Schnatz, Bernd - 2005

The aim of the paper is to analyse the factors behind the rapid trade integration of the Central and Eastern European countries with the euro area in the past ten years and to gauge the potential for further integration. We use as benchmark an enhanced gravity model estimated with a large sample...
