This paper investigates the impact of Austrian foreign direct investment on domestic employment in five new EU member states from Central and Eastern Europe (NMS5). It estimates both a static and a dynamic labor demand model using sector data for the period 1993-2004 where domestic employment depends on value added, real wage, the net capital stock and time effects. In particular, we investigate the potential complementary/ substitutive relationship between domestic and foreign affiliate employment of Austrian multinationals, disaggregated by two partner regions (that is, EU15 and NMS5). Estimates obtained using the static fixed-effects model show that domestic employment effects of foreign activities depend on the sector and the partner country (or region) considered.

Madeleine FaIk started at the Ballet Academy of Gothenburg, and thanks to a grant from Prime Minister Ingvar Carlsson, pursued a career in dancing and acting, eventually ending up in Los Angeles. There she met the love of her life, Louis Garcia, "the world's best trick jump-roper". The pair has since traveled the world as "The Rebel Ropers", performing for Nike in Singapore, on the Today show, at several hotels in Las Vegas, and locally at the House of Blues. Always with a smile, the charming Swede flies through the air - spinning the rope or juggling clubs at the speed of light - while balancing on giant balls, negotiating hoops of fire, at times on stilts. An original member of "Girls on Stilts", she also works with the variety troupe "The Mums". Dancing also led to an impressive c...

Most of the countries in Europe's north are facing new pressures on societies by sometimes staggering rates of immigration. It's not the first time in history, and we haven't seen the end of the changes this will bring. The Intize project in this issue has become one of our favorite sunshine stories. Once we open our doors, we have to open our arms as well - supposedly an American tradition we should be very careful to preserve.
Scandinavians were always green. Nature has always played a central role in the lives of Scandinavians, living in a region of long coastlines, of thousands and thousands of lakes and rivers, of forests and beaches and an abundance of natural resources. This ethos extends to business, into homes, into everyday life and into design for everyday life. It also creat...

This short policy paper looks at the implications of asset price bubbles for the Swiss economy over the two last decades, and attempts at inferring policy recommendations. We argue that such bubbles are generally damaging for the overall economy. Further, concentrating our attention on bubbles that are identified, we ask what kind of policy central banks should adopt in two given situations. We argue that in the case of housing price bubbles, emergency measures specifically directed at the housing market might be superior to conventional monetary policy; and that when faced with an emerging stock market bubble, an autonomous central bank of a small open economy should focus on the aftermath of the bust, taking advantage of its ability to conduct a policy tailored to the domestic needs.

Nicolas Sarkozy, President of France, managed to erase "free and undistorted competition" from the proposed new EU Treaty as a main aim of the European Union. Afterwards, he asked rhetorically what competition has done for Europe. This article is an attempt to reply to that very important question. The view of competition and its effects among decision-makers is likely to affect numerous policy outcomes. Throughout history, there has been a struggle between freedom and control in Europe. Competition is the result of economic freedom and the absence of interventions in the economy by the state. And it has done very much indeed for Europe. It may be the single most important reason why the average income in Western Europe is 14 times higher today than in 1820. If anything, Europe needs mo...
