In this paper we investigated the hypothesis of export spillovers from foreign multinationals to domestic firms using a data set of UK manufacturing firms from 1992 to 1999. Unlike previous studies we allow not only for the possibility of horizontal (i.e. intraindustry) and regional externalities, but also for vertical ones (i.e. inter-industry: forward and backward). Deploying and Heckman sele...

I. Introduction During the past three decades, there has been a paradigm shift from import substitution strategies towards export‐oriented industrialization. It is in this context that countries saw the need to create special economic zones (SEZs) and export processing zones (EPZs), so‐called ecozones, to cope with the increasingly competitive environment of the global market.

In this paper we analyse productivity spillovers from foreign direct investment using firm level panel data UK manufacturing industries from 1992 to 1999. We investigate spillovers through horizontal, backward and forward linkages, distinguish spillovers from export oriented vs domestic market oriented FDI, and allow for differing effects depending on domestic firms’ export activities. The resu...

Smart card based products are subject to the cryptographic export regulations. Unfortunately, these regulations are often taken into account too late, and it results in export restrictions. We claim that most of the times, these restrictions could be avoided by considering the cryptographic export matters at the earliest design stages. The aim of this paper is to provide a few principles to use...

Using data for the period 1983-2002, this study examines the relationship between inward foreign direct investment (FDI) and export performance in China. The results indicate that FDI promotes exports by foreign as well as domestically-owned firms, and that this effect is strongest for labour-intensive industries. This impact, however, does not depend on the country of origin of the investor. T...

Taiwan economy has always been export-oriented, creating tightly-linked industrial chains between cross-straits companies tightly. Understanding the influence of transforming industrial patterns of major economic entities would be critical for long-term cooperative small economic entities (countries or regions) in the periphery. The author of this paper has thus analyzed the influences and ...
