Austrian Outbound Foreign Direct Investment in Europe: A spatial econometric studyFischer, Manfred M., Pintar, Nico, Sargant, Benedikt 19 April 2016 (has links) (PDF)
This paper focuses on Austrian outbound foreign direct investment (FDI, measured by sales of Austrian affiliates abroad) in Europe over the period 2009-2013, using a spatial Durbin panel data model specification with fixed effects, and a spatial weight matrix based on the first-order contiguity relationship of the countries and normalised by its largest eigenvalue. Third-country effects essentially enter the empirical analysis in two major ways: first, by the endogenous spatial lag on FDI (measured by FDI into markets nearby the host country), and, second, by including an exogenous market potential variable that measures the size of markets nearby the FDI host country in terms of gross domestic product. The question whether the empirical result is compatible with horizontal, vertical, export-platform or complex vertical FDI then depends on the sign and significance levels of both the coefficient of the spatial lag on FDI and the direct impact estimate of the market potential variable. The paper yields robust results that provide significant empirical evidence for horizontal FDI as the main driver of Austrian outbound FDI in Europe. This result is strengthened by the indirect impact estimate of the market potential variable indicating that spatial spillovers do not matter.

Network Centrality and Market Prices: Empirical EvidenceFirgo, Matthias, Pennerstorfer, Dieter, Weiss, Christoph 02 1900 (has links) (PDF)
We empirically investigate the importance of centrality (holding a central position in a spatial network) for strategic interaction in pricing for the Austrian retail gasoline market. Results from spatial autoregressive models suggest that the gasoline station located most closely to the market center - defined as the 1-median location - exerts the strongest effect on pricing decisions of other stations. We conclude that centrality influences firms' pricing behavior and further find that the importance of centrality increases with market size.

Source versus Residence. A comparison from a New Economic Geography perspectiveCommendatore, Pasquale, Kubin, Ingrid January 2007 (has links) (PDF)
Recently, issues of international taxation have also been analysed from a New Economic Geography perspective. These discussions show that agglomerative forces play a non negligible role. In the paper, we introduce explicitly taxation into a Footloose Capital Model and compare implications of taxation according to the residence principle and the source principle from a New Economic Geography perspective. We confirm that agglomerative effects change the results substantially compared to the standard analysis and that the two taxation principles have different implications for industry agglomeration.

Regional integration, international liberalisation and the dynamics of industrial agglomerationCommendatore, Pasquale, Kubin, Ingrid, Petraglia, Carmelo, Sushko, Iryna 14 January 2014 (has links) (PDF)
This paper presents a 3-Region footloose-entrepreneur new economic geography model. Two symmetric regions are part of an economically integrated area (the Union), while the third region represents an outside trade partner. We explore how the spatial allocation of industrial production and employment within the Union is affected by changes in two aspects of trade liberalisation: regional integration and globalisation. Our main contribution pertains to the analysis of the local and global dynamics of the specified factor mobility process. We show that significant parameter
ranges exist for which asymmetric distribution of economic activities is one of the possible long-run outcomes. This is a remarkable result within the NEG literature. We then analyse the impact of international trade liberalisation on the dynamics of agglomeration conditional on the endowments of skilled and unskilled labour of the outside region.

Agglomeration processes in aging societiesGrafeneder-Weissteiner, Theresa, Prettner, Klaus January 2010 (has links) (PDF)
This article investigates agglomeration processes in aging societies by introducing an overlapping generation structure into a New Economic Geography model. Whether higher economic integration leads to spatial concentration of economic activity crucially hinges on the economies' demographic properties. While population aging as represented by declining birth rates strengthens agglomeration processes, declining mortality rates weaken them. This is due to the fact that we allow for nonconstant population size. In particular, we show that population growth acts as an important dispersion force that augments the distributional effects on agglomeration processes resulting from the turnover of generations.

R&D networks and regional knowledge production in Europe. Evidence from a space-time modelWanzenböck, Iris, Piribauer, Philipp 09 1900 (has links) (PDF)
In this paper we estimate space-time impacts of the embeddedness in R&D networks on regional knowledge production by means of a dynamic spatial panel data model with non-linear effects for a set of 229 European NUTS-2 regions in the period 1999-2009. Embeddedness refers to the positioning in networks where nodes represent regions that are linked by joint R&D endeavours in European Framework Programmes. We observe positive immediate impacts on regional knowledge production arising from increased embeddedness in EU funded R&D networks, in particular for regions with lower own knowledge endowments. However, long-term impacts of R&D network embeddedness are comparatively small.(authors' abstract) / Series: Department of Economics Working Paper Series

Economic integration and agglomeration in a customs union in the presence of an outside regionCommendatore, Pasquale, Kubin, Ingrid, Petraglia, Carmelo, Sushko, Iryna 10 1900 (has links) (PDF)
New Economic Geography (NEG) models do not typically account for the
presence of regions other than the ones involved in the integration process. We explore such a
possibility in a Footloose Entrepreneur (FE) model aiming at studying the stability properties
of long-run industrial location equilibria. We consider a world economy composed by a customs
union of two regions (regions 1 and 2) and an "outside region" which can be regarded as
the rest of the world (region 3). The effects of economic integration on industrial agglomeration
within the customs union are studied under the assumption of a constant distance between
the customs union itself and the third region. The results show that higher economic integration
does not always implies the standard result of full agglomeration of FE models. This incomplete
agglomeration outcome is due to the fact that the periphery region keeps a share of
industrial activities in order to satisfy a share of "external demand". That is, the deindustrialization
process brought about by economic integration in the periphery of the union is mitigated
by the demand of consumers living in the rest of the world. In general, the market size of
the third region affects the number of the long-run equilibria, as well as their stability properties.
In addition to the standard outcomes of FE models, we describe the existence of two
asymmetric equilibria characterised by unequal distribution of firms between regions 1 and 2,
with no full agglomeration though. Interestingly, these equilibria are stable and therefore can
be regarded as a likely long-run equilibrium state of the economy. (author's abstract) / Series: Department of Economics Working Paper Series
