A Rise by Any Other Name? Sensitivity of Growth Regressions to Data Source
Filer, Randall; Hajkova, Dana; Hanousek, Jan - CESifo - 2007
Measured rates of growth in real per capita income differ drastically depending on the data source. This phenomenon …. Replication of several recent studies of growth determinants shows that results are sensitive in important ways to the choice of …-country patterns over time (growth rates) have been largely ignored at the cost of possibly contaminating the conclusions. …

The Mirage of Convergence: Why Poor Countries May Only Seem to Be Closing the Income Gap
Hanousek, Jan; Hajkova, Dana; Filer, Randall K. - Center for Economic Research and Graduate Education and … - 2004
Results of numerous cross-country growth regressions have been found to be sensitive to specification, time period or …-hand side variables. In this paper we suggest that a more fundamental problem may exist with respect to the growth rates used in … the majority of studies. Differences in measured growth rates are severe across widely-used sources. More critically …

Incomplete specialization and offshoring across Europe
Frensch, Richard; Hanousek, Jan; Kocenda, Evžen - 2012
Recent empirical studies have been searching for evidence on and driving forces for offshoring. Frequently, this has been done by analyzing gross trade flows related to offshore activities using gravity equations augmented by ad hoc measures of supply-side country differences. This paper...

Incomplete specialization and offshoring across Europe
Frensch, Richard; Hanousek, Jan; Kočenda, Evžen - 2012
Research for evidence on offshoring activities and its driving forces has been done by analyzing gross trade flows related to offshoring using gravity equations augmented by ad hoc measures of supply-side country differences. We develop a specification grounded in incomplete specialization that...

Factors of trade in Europe
Hanousek, Jan; Kočenda, Evžen - 2013
We analyze how a set of traditional as well as new determinants affect trade among European countries over the period 1992-2008. The factors encompass variables from the areas of geography, culture, institutions, infrastructure, and trade direction. Trade is analyzed for three types of goods:...
