Chinese Manufacturing Performance in Comparative Perspective, 1980-2002
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Szirmai,   Adam; Ren,   Ruoen; Bai,   Manyin.
This paper uses the detailed information in the 1995 Census of Industrial Production as a benchmark for analysing the coverage, concepts and consistency of published statistical series. On the basis of the analysis, the paper proposes a series of adjustments which result in more consistent long-run series of labour productivity for 21 manufacturing sectors from 1980-2002. For purposes of international comparisons with the USA, the paper subsequently presents industry of origin unit value ratios for the benchmark year 1995. These are used to convert Chinese value added into US dollars. In 2002, value added for the statistically well-covered sectors of Chinese manufacturing was 43 per cent of US value added, against 12 per cent in 1980. The comparative...

Trade and Environment: Evidence from China's Manufacturing Sector
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Chai,   Joseph C.H.
This paper uses the manufacturing sector in China to consider whether globalization of the Chinese economy over the past two decades has contributed to the decline in environmental conditions. The results show that China's experience with the trade liberalization-environment nexus is consistent with international evidence. On one hand, trade liberalization has had various positive effects on the environment. Firstly, it promoted specialization in areas of comparative advantage, which, in general, included industries that contributed less to environmental degradation. Secondly, it allowed China to access and adopt the best international practices in pollution abatement technology. Thirdly, it enabled China to transfer environmental costs to other countries...

WORKFORCE PROFILE OF NEW OR RECENTLY EXPANDED MANUFACTURING AND EXPORTED SERVICES FIRMS IN NORTH DAKOTA
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Leistritz,   F. Larry; Coon,   Randal C.
North Dakota has experienced substantial growth in employment during the 1990s, with much of that growth occurring in the manufacturing and exported services sectors.  (Exported services include such activities as telemarketing and data processing where the major market for the service is outside North Dakota.) This study presents the employment and demographic characteristics of employees at new and expanding manufacturing and exported services firms in North Dakota.  The workers were asked to rate their opportunity for advancement, their opportunity for technical/skills training, and the type of training that would best enable their advancement with their current employer.  The workers also described their current housing and their plans to look for...

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES IN RURAL NORTH DAKOTA COMMUNITIES: SOCIOECONOMIC IMPACTS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: DeVuyst,   Cheryl Sinn; Leistritz,   F. Larry; Schepp,   Angela.
The purpose of this study was to examine the local socioeconomic impacts of new economic development initiatives in North Dakota's rural (nonmetropolitan) communities.  This report is the second to present findings from this project; an earlier report analyzed the effects of four new agricultural processing plants on their host communities.  This report examines the effects of manufacturing and/or exported services facilities in three communities and presents comparison data drawn from two control communities (i.e., towns that had not experienced the advent of a major new employer during the 1990s).  The information from the two groups of development communities and the control communities is compared and contrasted to discern similarities and differences...

Short-run Birth and Death of U.S. Manufacturing Firms: 2000 - 2005
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Brown,   Jason P.; Lambert,   Dayton M.
Attracting manufacturing investment remains a viable regional development policy. Previous research in the location literature has informed policymakers which factors are most important for attracting new firm investment. Far less is known about the dynamics of firm death and the possible interaction with firm birth. A conceptual model of county-level investment in the U.S. manufacturing sector is developed from location theory and subsequent literature. Specifically, we test the relative importance of location factors influencing firm investment, and if these factors influence firm birth and death differently. Local factors include labor quality, availability, and cost, market conditions, agglomeration due to localization and urbanization economies,...

Manufacturing Transition in Local Economies: A Regional Adjustment Model
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Brown,   Jason P.; Lambert,   Dayton M.; Florax,   Raymond J.G.M.
This paper addresses changes in capital formation by testing the importance of location factors with respect to the rate of establishment births and deaths in U.S. manufacturing, 2000–2004. A theoretical concept called “localized creative destruction” is tested as a mechanism to explain the dynamics impacting the spatial distribution of manufacturing establishment birth and death rates. While no support of this process was found, results identify a convergence process occurring where counties with high initial birth/death rates have smaller changes in firm birth and death rates. The interpretation is that counties become more equally competitive in terms of firm formation dynamics in lieu of successful counties increasing their lead in the short run. This...

When is Concentration Beneficial?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Liron-Espana,   Carmen; Lopez,   Rigoberto A.
This paper separates market power and efficiency effects of concentration in a sample of 255 U.S. manufacturing industries and computes welfare changes from rises in concentration. The empirical findings reveal that in nearly two-third of the cases, consumers lose as efficiency gains are generally pocketed by the industries. From an aggregate welfare standpoint, concentration is found to be beneficial in nearly 70% of the cases, mostly for low and moderate levels of concentration being particularly against the public interest in highly concentrated markets. Overall, the results support the existing U.S. Federal Trade Commission guidelines for approval of mergers.

A TWO-STEP ESTIMATOR FOR A SPATIAL LAG MODEL OF COUNTS: THEORY, SMALL SAMPLE PERFORMANCE AND AN APPLICATION
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Lambert,   Dayton M.; Brown,   Jason P.; Florax,   Raymond J.G.M.
Several spatial econometric approaches are available to model spatially correlated disturbances in count models, but there are at present no structurally consistent count models incorporating spatial lag autocorrelation. A two-step, limited information maximum likelihood estimator is proposed to fill this gap. The estimator is developed assuming a Poisson distribution, but can be extended to other count distributions. The small sample properties of the estimator are evaluated with Monte Carlo experiments. Simulation results suggest that the spatial lag count estimator achieves gains in terms of bias over the aspatial version as spatial lag autocorrelation and sample size increase. An empirical example deals with the location choice of single-unit start-up...

Glocalisation, Foreign Direct Investment and Regional Development Perspectives: Empirical Results for West German Regions
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Knodler,   Hermann; Albertshauser,   Ulrich.
The present paper examines the economic development perspectives of the manufacturing sector of 31 major West German regions in the process of globalisation. Public statistics do not provide FDI data on a regional basis. Therefore our study was based on indicators based on the data from the INDAT-file which gives information about some 6,500 West German manufacturing firms in 1986, 1990 and 1996. The paper draws a stylised picture of the regional structure of West German FDI involvement in the manufacturing sector. The present participation in glocalisation benefits and the mid term development perspectives showed that Hamburg, Darmstadt and Oberbayern belong to the winners of glocalisation. In order to evaluate the long term development perspectives of...

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF SMALL FOOD MANUFACTURING AND RETAILING BUSINESSES
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Gustafson,   Cole R.
The 1998 Survey of Small Business Finances provides robust information on the financing of small businesses including an overview of their firm's organization, financial characteristics, and credit use.  Information from the survey is used in this study to compare the financial characteristics of food manufacturing and retailing small businesses.  On average, both food manufacturing and food retailing small businesses had positive financial characteristics.  Although they were only marginally profitable and liquid, they were highly solvent.  Accounts receivable and inventory comprise nearly half of food manufacturers' total assets and a third of food retailers' assets.  By most financial measures, food retailers were statistically smaller than food...

The Relationship Between Environmental Efficiency and Manufacturing Firm’s Growth
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Cainelli,   Giulio; Mazzanti,   Massimiliano; Zoboli,   Roberto.
This paper investigates the empirical link between emission intensity and economic growth, using a very large data set of 61,219 Italian manufacturing firms over the period 2000-2004. As a measure of lagged environmental performance (efficiency) at firm level we exploit NAMEA sector for CO2, NOx, SOx data over 1990-1999. The paper tests the extent to which (past) environmental efficiency/intensity, which is driven by structural features and firm strategic actions, including responses to policies, influences firms growth. Our results show, first, a typical trade off generally appearing for the three core environmental emissions we analyse: lower environmentally efficiency in the recent past allows higher degrees of freedom to firms and relax the constraints...

DETERMINANTS OF INVESTMENT FLOWS IN U.S. MANUFACTURING
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Brown,   Jason P.; Florax,   Raymond J.G.M.; McNamara,   Kevin T.
The purpose of the paper is to test the long-run steady state of growth factors hypothesized to influence U.S. manufacturing investment flows. These factors include agglomeration, market structure, labor, infrastructure, and fiscal policy. Spatial cross-regressive and spatial Durbin models are used to measure the spatial interaction of investment flows. Spatial spillovers are found to be of a competitive nature at the state level, implying that a factor which attracts more investment to a particular state is associated with lower investments in neighboring states. Investment flows to states with higher market demand, more productive labor, and more localized agglomeration of manufacturing activity.
