This paper analyses the potential for productivity spillovers from inward foreign direct investment using administrative panel data on firms for Hungary. We hypothesise that the potential for spillovers is related to observable characteristics of the production process of foreign affiliates, and evaluate this empirically. We further explore the role of competition in explaining productivity spillovers within industries. Our empirical analysis yields a number of important findings. First, we show that the potential for spillovers is importantly related to the production technology of the sectors and foreign affiliates. Firms that relocate labor-intensive activities to Hungary to exploit differences in labor costs are unlikely to generate productivity spillovers, while spillovers increase...

Regeste Art. 89 Abs. 1 und Art. 111 Abs. 3 BGG; Art. 5 Ziff. 4 und 5, Art. 8 und 13 EMRK; Freilassung während des Rekursverfahrens vor der letzten kantonalen Instanz; aktuelles Rechtsschutzinteresse; Grundsätze der Erschöpfung des kantonalen Instanzenzuges und der Einheit des Verfahrens. Der Grundsatz der Erschöpfung des kantonalen Instanzenzuges (Art. 111 Abs. 3 BGG) gilt als eingehalten, wenn der Beschwerdeführer vor der letzten kantonalen Instanz sämtliche Rügen vorbringen konnte, die er in der Folge auch vor Bundesgericht erheben kann. Um festzustellen, ob die kantonale Behörde den vorliegenden Rekurs zu Recht nicht materiell behandelt hat, ist zu prüfen, wie das Bundesgericht in einer vergleichbaren Situation vorgegangen wäre. Bei Vorliegen besonderer Umstände nimmt das Bundesgeric...

South African suppliers and United Nations (UN) procurement officers explored how to expand South African business presence among UN buyers for relief items, in a June meeting organized by the dti, South Africa's Department of Trade and Industry. As the continent's main exporter, South Africa has been the leading African supplier to the UN and, together with Kenya, hosts many UN procurement offices. However, its share in UN procurement is still very small, between 1% and 2%. There is still great scope for the development of local businesses through the aid procurement market. The ITC seminar trained staff at the dti, the Eastern Cape Development Corp, Trade and Investment KwaZulu-Natal and Trade and Investment Limpopo.
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...
Do things Scandinavian always come in waves? The New York stage has been inundated with nice things from the North. Our Spring issue covered the Norén debut "The Last Supper" of Jan.-Feb. Later, in June, 78th Street Theatre Lab presented the US premiere of Evil - a one-man play by Swedish author Jan Guillou. The play based on the same novel as the Oscar-nominated movie with the same name, was directed and translated by Jens Botrup. Jon Fosse's play, "Night Sings Its Songs," also premiered in June in NYC, directed by Norwegian-descended Sarah Cameron Sunde. Fosse, Norway's pre-eminent playwright, had his US premiere at the Culture Project's 45 Below Theatre, 45 Bleecker Street, NYC. Sunde's future directing is well worth following, as is the young Norwegian playwright's continued US pres...
