Local and Spatial Cointegration in the Wage Curve: A Spatial Panel Analysis for German Regions

“…In the scarce literature on the SpECM approach there is no consensus on the sign of the spatial error correction coefficient. While Beenstock and Felsenstein (2010) found the same sign for both adjustment coefficients in regional house price modelling, the findings ofMitze and Özyurt (2014) for trade-and FDI-driven productivity growth are completely in line with our reasoning.…”

“…The merit of the approach lies in the potential of revealing the consequences of spatial effects for the time series behaviour of the variables (cf. Mitze and Özyurt 2014).…”

Inversión extranjera directa y productividad laboral en la industria manufacturera regional

“…La IED fue modelada como un determinante endógeno de la productividad debido a que la causalidad entre esta variable y la productividad podría darse en ambos sentidos. En efecto, un incremento en la productividad podría ser generado por la IED a través de cadenas de producción, imitación de procesos productivos, creación de nuevos productos y procesos, y capacitación en el empleo (Zhao y Zhang, 2010), o porque permite la creación de empleo y acumulación de capital físico (Mitze y Özyurt, 2014). No obstante, también podría ocurrir que aquellas entidades manufactureras que presentan un elevado nivel de productividad laboral tiendan a atraer mayores flujos de IED.…”

“…formal education) by means of investment in R&D. They argue that these results suggest that it is necessary to implement a selective policy to attract FDI for China to benefit from FDI by taking into account more technologically advanced, R&D-based projects. In their studies analyzing the development of long and short-term labor productivity for the Chinese provinces between 1978 and 2010, Mitze and Özyurt (2014) present that FDI has a direct impact on labor productivity in addition to internal factors such as investment intensity and infrastructure utilization. However, Driffield and Love (2007), who empirically examined the effects of FDIs on the UK's domestic productivity, state that inward FDIs, which are motivated by technology suppliers, do not cause productivity increases.…”
