Greater international economic interconnectedness over recent decades has been changing inflation dynamics. This paper presents evidence that the expansion of global value chains (GVCs), ie cross-border trade in intermediate goods and services, is an important channel through which global...

We document that observed international input-output linkages contribute substantially to synchronizing producer price inflation (PPI) across countries. Using a multi-country, industry-level dataset that combines information on PPI and exchange rates with international and domestic input-output...

This paper investigates the impact of global value chains on energy footprints. Energy footprints are consumption-based indicators which record the energy used to produce a country's final demand. In order to disentangle key characteristics of global value chains and their effects on the global...

This study examines the economic globalization and the shadow economy nexus in Egypt. Using time series data from 1976 to 2013, the impulse response analysis shows that the response of the shadow economy in Egypt to positive shocks in economic globalization is negative and statistically...

Die in der jüngsten Vergangenheit feststellbare zunehmende Digitalisierung von Gesellschaft und Wirtschaft erscheint auf ersten Blick als radikal umwälzende Entwicklung. Im Detail betrachtet zeigt sich, dass die aktuellen Tendenzen nur eine Fortsetzung der bestehenden Entwicklungen der...

This paper aims to study the impacts of financial development, urbanization, and globalization on income inequality in the People's Republic of China. It applies the regression-based inequality decomposition approach on a panel dataset, which is aggregated from a unique database of financial...

Contradicting the conventional wisdom of constant factor shares, the portion of national income accruing to labor has been trending downward in the last three decades. This decline must have contributed to rising inequality as labor income is more evenly distributed than capital income. This...

This study considers how education and globalization affect income inequality in Asia, with unbalanced panel data. The evidence supports the validity of Kuznets' inverted-U hypothesis for the connection between income level and income inequality. However, when more variables are integrated into...

The innovative and sustainable economic development of a country depends not only on the presence of a strong government, universities and industries but more so on how they mutually interact for strategic objectives. The evolution of these interactions has given rise to science parks,...

Die vorliegende Dissertationsschrift besteht aus vier Kapiteln und adressiert Kernfragen in den Bereichen Versicherungstransaktionen (Teil I und IV) sowie Versicherungsbetrieb und -strategien (Teil II und III). Die aufgeworfenen Forschungsfragen sind sowohl für die akademische Forschung als...

This paper examines the bidirectional causality between innovation and internationalization in the context of developing countries. Using a dynamic bivariate probit model and adopting a broad definition of internationalization, this paper analyzes these issues using a panel dataset of small and...

This paper is the first to present panel data evidence on the longer-term impact of expansion of global value chains and large-scale export-oriented farms in developing countries. Using panel data from two survey rounds covering a seven-year period and fixed effects regression, we estimate the...

The starting point for this research is the authors’ hypothesis that global innovational networks play an important role in the development of the modern global economy because they stimulate international cooperation in the innovational sphere, the translation of knowledge in the global...

Auslöser meiner Überlegungen ist die akute Flüchtlingskrise. Es spricht manches dafür, dass sich diese Krise nicht einfach mit einigen administrativen Maßnahmen der Zuwanderungsbeschränkung in kurzer Frist in Luft auflösen wird. Vermutlich ist sie Symptom für eine neue Welle der...

Dieses Arbeitspapier beschäftigt sich mit der Internationalisierung von deutschen Banken. Im Mittelpunkt stehen Auslandsfilialen und -töchter sowie die relevante Einlagen- und Kreditverflechtung. Aus diesen werden Hinweise auf die Globalisierungsbetroffenheit abgeleitet. Aspekte werden aus...

Grenzüberschreitende Aufsichts- und Verwaltungsratsverflechtungen zwischen Unternehmen in verschiedenen Ländern haben zugenommen, es ist allerdings nur sehr wenig bekannt über die Art dieser Vernetzungspraxis über den Einfluss der Globalisierung hinweg. Der Zweck dieses Forschungsprojekts...
