Endogenous FDI Spillovers with Spillover-Prevention Costs
This paper aims to explore the role of spillovers in the strategic choice for a MNE in a duopoly model, especially focusing on endogenous FDI spillovers with spillover-prevention costs. After discussing the exogenous spillover case, this paper shows that with a quadratic spillover-prevention cost function, the FDI-performing firm may choose a positive level of spillovers, which is lower than th...
متن کاملSkill Heterogeneity and Equilibrium Unemployment
Opportunities for skilled and unskilled workers in the UK diverged over the last quarter of the twentieth century. We develop an empirical framework consistent with these trends that highlights the importance of skill heterogeneity in both wage setting and labour demand in explaining aggregate labour market outcomes. The framework enables us to quantify the macroeconomic effects of shocks that ...
متن کاملSkill Mismatch and Structural Unemployment
I build a model in which structural change creates a mismatch between the skill requirements in the available jobs and workers’ current skills. When the mismatch is severe, labor markets go through a prolonged adjustment process wherein job creation is low and unemployment is high. Due to matching frictions, firms find it harder to locate workers with the requisite skills for novel jobs and the...
متن کاملSpillover and backward linkage effects of FDI: Empirical evidence for the UK
Recent work (including that of the author) on the impact of FDI has been based on micro-level (i.e. firms, establishments or plants) data, since this allows much greater control when examining such issues as whether FDI plants are more productive or innovative; whether there are spillovers to indigenous plants from FDI; and whether foreign-owned plants can facilitate the building-up of clusters...
متن کاملSpillover effects of FDI on innovation in China: Evidence from the provincial data
Foreign direct investment (FDI) can benefit innovation activity in the host country via spillover channels such as reverse engineering, skilled labor turnovers, demonstration effects, and supplier– customer relationships. Using provincial data from 1995 to 2000, we find positive effects of FDI on the number of domestic patent applications in China. This finding is robust under both pooled times...
