“…Countries maintaining smaller numbers of international connections are assigned lower levels of globalization than countries that maintain connections with many partners, independent of locations or distances. Babones and Farabee-Siers (2008), De Lombaerde and Iapadre (2008) and OECD (2010) propose to include variables that indicate a country's trading partner concentration, calculated using the Herfindahl-Hirschmann concentration index, as a proxy for the trading partner network.…”

The KOF Globalisation Index – revisited

et al. 2019

We introduce the revised version of the KOF Globalisation Index, a composite index measuring globalization for every country in the world along the economic, social and political dimension. The original index was introduced by Dreher (Applied Economics, 38(10):1091-1110, 2006) and updated in Dreher et al. (2008). This second revision of the index distinguishes between de facto and de jure measures along the different dimensions of globalization. We also disentangle trade and financial globalization within the economic dimension of globalization and use time-varying weighting of the variables. The new index is based on 43 instead of 23 variables in the previous version. Following Dreher (Applied Economics, 38(10):1091-1110, 2006), we use the new index to examine the effect of globalization on economic growth. The results suggest that de facto and de jure globalization influence economic growth differently. Future research should use the new KOF Globalisation Index to reexamine other important consequences of globalization and why globalization was proceeding rapidly in some countries, such as South Korea, but less so in others.

“…This index compares effective concentration with an evenly distributed composition of products (or export markets), where a higher index indicates a greater concentration of exports. In the case of absolute concentration, the index would be equal to 1, and conversely, in the most diversified case, it would be close to 0 [50].…”

Globalization versus Regionalization in Agri-Food Exports from Spain and Portugal

The Southern European countries of Spain and Portugal both show a high degree of export spe-cialization in agri-food products compared to the EU-27 as a whole. This sector plays a funda-mental role in their economies, determining the management of natural resources, with the food and beverage industry being the most important manufacturing activity in both countries. Drawing on evidence obtained from Eurostat's database on foreign trade, this study analyzes whether the geographical concentration of agri-food exports from the Iberian Peninsula coun-tries to the EU-27 increases between 2008 and 2022, or, conversely, if there is a process of spatial diversification in favor of non-EU markets. Expansion towards new trading partners, as indicat-ed by estimated concentration indices, is significant in Spain but does not occur in Portugal. However, in both economies, the regional market with European partners, characterized by strong competition and low development expectations, remains decisive in the evolution of their exports in the short and medium term. Consequently, institutions and companies in this sector must adopt a more dynamic approach and implement measures that allow for increased sales orientation towards higher growth markets, thus enhancing the global competitiveness of the national agri-food sector.

Net profit flow per country from 1980 to 2009: The long-term effects of foreign direct investment

Aim of the paperThe paper aims at describing and explaining net profit flows per country for the period 1980-2009. Net profit flows result from Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) stock and profit repatriation: inward stock creating a profit outflow and outward FDI stock a profit inflow. Profit flows, especially 'normal' ones are not commonly researched. Theoretical backgroundAccording to world-system theory, countries are part of a system characterised by a core, semi-periphery and periphery, as shown by network analyses of trade relations. Network analyses based on ownership relations of TransNational Corporations (TNCs) show that the top 50 firms that control about 40% of the world economy are almost exclusively located in core countries. So, we may expect a hierarchy in net profit flows with core countries on top and the periphery at the bottom. FDI outflows from the core countries especially rose in the 1990s, so we may expect that the difference has grown in time.
