Network analysis in the input-output field is an ongoing and interesting area of research which has seen a rise in contributions in recent years. In the input-output field, studies based on graph and network theory have been developed only about topological measures used descriptively. Modelling...

The Input-Output model has made extensive use of graph and network theory, methods and conclusions, in order to carry out structural analysis; such extensions have yielded powerful insights on the relationships existing between industries in an economic system. It is customary in the field to...

The ‘cluster theory’ has become one of the main concepts promoting regional competitiveness, innovation, and growth. As most studies focus on measures of concentration of one industrial branch in order to identify regional clusters, the appropriate analysis of specific vertical relations...

Economic resilience is essential to better withstand adverse shocks and reduce the economic costs associated with them. We propose different measures of resilience and empirically gauge how countries differ in their shock absorption capacity conditioning on the quality of their economic...

Die Autoren zeigen, dass Griechenland trotz des Abschlusses der über acht Jahre dauernden Rettungsprogramme und einer wirtschaftlichen Stabilisierung am aktuellen Rand immer noch gravierenden Wirtschaftsproblemen gegenübersteht. Zwar wurde die Schuldenkrise durch einen vorläufigen, indirekten...

Der im Zuge der Corona-Krise von der schleswig-holsteinischen Landesregierung verordnete wirtschaftliche Stillstand ("Corona-Erlass") betrifft fast ausschließlich den Dienstleistungssektor in den Bereichen "Handel" und "konsumnahe Dienstleistungen". Die Autoren stellen fest, dass in Werten von...

In der Studie, die im Rahmen des gemeinsamen Projekts "Norddeutschland und die Corona-Krise: Wirtschaftliche Folgen und wirtschaftspolitischer Handlungsbedarf" des Kiel Instituts für Weltwirtschaft (IfW) und der NORDAKADEMIE Hochschule der Wirtschaft erstellt wurde, wird eine Bilanz der...

This paper investigates the role of economic structures as determinants of FDI inflows. We expand on the existing literature by focusing on advanced economies, using a newly available measure of FDI which cleans the data from statistical artefacts, such as financial round tripping, and by...

Well-functioning economic structures are key for resilient and prospering euro area economies. The global financial and sovereign debt crises exposed the limited resilience of the euro area's economic structures. Economic growth was masking underlying weaknesses in several euro area countries....

In this paper we investigate the impact of the euro integration process on the drivers of FDI inflows. We show theoretically and empirically that the single currency alters the drivers of FDI inflows across its Member States. Estimating bilateral gravity models of FDI inflows into euro area...
