This study investigates the long-run relationships between inward FDI and economic outcomes in terms of value added and employment at the level of the US states. JOHANSEN'S (1988) co-integration technique and TODA and YAMAMOTO'S (1995) Granger causality tests are applied to data for the period of 1977 to 2001.We find cointegration as well as two-directional causality between FDI and outcome variables. This holds for both measures of FDI (stocks and employment in foreign affiliates) and independently of whether we consider the states' overall economy or their manufacturing sector. [PUB ABSTRACT]

This paper analyses a partial equilibrium outsourcing model with Cournot competition in intermediate good production. Final production is located in Western Europe, whereas the intermediate good can be manufactured by a Western (outsourcing) or Eastern European supplier (offshore outsourcing). The paper asks the question how changes in production costs, in particular wages, affect labor input in the two regions in the presence of Cournot competition. The main results are: higher production costs in one region reduce intermediate good production in both regions leading to a substitution effect between high- and low-skilled labor intensive inputs rather than between Eastern and Western low-skilled labor intensive inputs. The sensitivity of outsourcing activities to production cost changes...

Before that, Lassbo had been interested in designing technologically-enhanced clothing, which she had considered to be the future of fashion. A collaborative project with the now-defunct StarLab in Brussels resulted in a surprising new direction for Lassbo when she realized that most of those living hi-tech urban lifestyles were, for the most part, dissatisfied with them. "I visited StarLab at a time when people in Sweden were beginning to cure stress-related disorders with holistic treatments," Lassbo said. "Advances in technology demand much more from people, requiring them to work harder and faster. I was afraid that if I integrated communication technology into my garments I would be contributing to a system that causes stress disorders and burn-out syndromes." Lassbo's design focus...
