- Does Global Size Matter For Productivity Of MNEs?
- Previous research has shown that MultiNationals MNEs and in particular US-owned plants, are more productive than domestic ones. Existing evidence for the UK has shown that this US advantage is explained by US MNES picking the best plants to takeover and by US owned plants getting higher returns from ICT...

- Foreign Direct Investment And Productivity Spillovers: Identifying Linkages Through Product-Based Measures
- This paper analyzes direct and indirect effects of foreign ownership on productivity in the Turkish manufacturing plants between 1990 and 1996. First, based on Olley-Pakes production function estimates, foreign affiliates are shown to be more productive than local plants. Using sectoral output shares of foreign affiliates and 1990 input-output matrix...

- Aging, Technology And Productivity
- The possibly negative productivity counterpart of an aging workforce at times of fast technical change is often seen as an important policy issue. We use Finnish plant data constructed by linking various registers of firms, plants and individuals to test whether plants employing an older labor force have suffered productivity...

- The Impact Of Trade On Plant Scale, Production-Run Length And Diversification
- We develop a model of trade in differentiated products with multi-product plants. The model predicts that plants in a smaller and less competitive market have shorter production runs and tend to be smaller and less productive than those in a larger market. Bilateral tariff reductions lead to a decline in...

- Multinationals And US Productivity Leadership: Evidence From Great Britain
- The authors have studied the productivity of US owned plants in the UK. Using a new dataset that identifies foreign and domestic MNEs MultiNational Enterprise, they found that UK MNEs are less productive than US affiliates, but as productive as non US foreign affiliates. This paper investigates the source of...

- Coal-Fired Power Technologies: Coal-Fired Power Options on the Brink of Climate Policies
- This study provides an overview of coal-fired power generation options. The deployment of coal power plants largely depends on their competitiveness compared to gas-fired power, nuclear power, etc. There are roughly four types of coal-fired power plants. Probably, most coal-fired power plants to be built within the next decades will...

- The Effects Of Foreign Plants On Industry Productivity: Evidence From Chile
- This paper studies the effects of foreign plants on industry productivity, and brings new evidence from the Chilean manufacturing sector. The stylized facts that make one think that foreign plants are distinct from domestic plants are that they are systematically bigger and contribute significantly to output production, but they are...

- Expansion Plans
- From the executive summary: ‘Integrated supply has been most successful among companies with multi-plant locations and large facilities. One reason it has not been as successful outside of large plants is that it is difficult to justify the expense of placing on-site storeroom managers in smaller facilities. Integrators develop solutions...
