Badi H. Baltagi∗, Peter Egger∗∗, Michael Pfaffermayr∗∗∗ October 2, 2005 Abstract The recent general equilibrium theory of trade and multinationals emphasizes the importance of third countries and the complex integration strategies of multi- nationals. Little has been done to test this theory empirically. This paper attempts to rectify this situation by considering not only bilateral determinants, but also spatially weighted third-country determinants of foreign direct investment (FDI). Since the dependency among host markets is particularly related to multinationals’ trade between them, we use trade costs (distances) as spatial weights. Using panel data on U.S. industries and host countries observed over the 1989-1999 period, we estimate a “complex FDI” version of the knowledge-capital model of U.S. outward FDI by various recently developed spatial panel data generalized moments (GM) estimators. We find that third-country effects are significant, lending support to the existence of various modes of complex FDI. Key words: Mutlinational firms; Complex FDI; Panel econometrics; Spatial econo- metrics; Generalized moments (GM) estimators JEL classification: C33; F14; F15 ∗Badi H.

The World Investment Report and the United Nations’ World Trade Data Base suggest that during the last decade worldwide outward foreign direct invest- ment (FDI) stocks rose almost 1.5 times faster than exports, even faster than exports of intermediate goods. For the last two decades, the theory of trade and multinational firms has paid attention to this phenomenon, in particular to the organization of firms across international borders. Early stages of this theory distinguish between two modes of multinational enterprises (MNEs). Vertical MNEs engage in trade and seek to ex- ploit international factor price differentials. They locate their headquarters in the skilled labor-abundant parent country and engage in unskilled labor-intensive production in an unskilled labor-abundant host. This type of MNEs serves the parent market via foreign affiliate exports (Helpman, 1984, Helpman and Krugman, 1985). Horizontal MNEs seek to save on trade costs by serving markets locally rather than trading. This results in higher fixed investment costs than those incurred by exporting national firms (Markusen, 1984, Markusen and Venables, 2000). The recent literature has considered three important extensions. First, both modes of MNE entry have been merged in the “knowledge-capital” model of multinationals (Carr, Markusen and Maskus, 2001, Markusen, 2002). Depending on factor endowments, as well as on trade and investment impediments, the equilibrium configuration of horizontal

  • Endogenous Product Versus Process Innovation and a Firm's Propensity to Export
    ENDOGENOUS PRODUCT VERSUS PROCESS INNOVATION AND A FIRM’S PROPENSITY TO EXPORT SASCHA O. BECKER PETER H. EGGER CESIFO WORKING PAPER NO. 1906 CATEGORY 9: INDUSTRIAL ORGANISATION FEBRUARY 2007 An electronic version of the paper may be downloaded • from the SSRN website: www.SSRN.com • from the RePEc website: www.RePEc.org • from the CESifo website: www.CESifo-group.deT T CESifo Working Paper No. 1906 ENDOGENOUS PRODUCT VERSUS PROCESS INNOVATION AND A FIRM’S PROPENSITY TO EXPORT Abstract This paper provides an empirical analysis of the effects of new product versus process innovations on export propensity at the firm level. Product innovation is a key factor for successful market entry in models of creative destruction and Schumpeterian growth. Process innovation helps securing a firm’s market position given the characteristics of its product supply. Both modes of innovation are expected to raise a firm’s propensity to export. According to new trade theory, we conjecture that product innovation is relatively more important in that regard. We investigate these hypotheses in a rich survey panel data set with information about new innovations of either type. With a set of indicators regarding innovation motives and impediments and continuous variables at the firm and industry level at hand, we may determine the probability of launching new innovations and their impact on export propensity at the firm level through a double treatment approach. JEL Code: F1, O3, L1. Keywords: product innovation, process innovation, propensity to export, multiple treatment effects estimation. Sascha O.

THREE ESSAYS ON ENVIRONMENTAL ECONOMICS AND INTERNATIONAL TRADE A Dissertation Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Applied Economics by Patrick Arthur McLaughlin May 2008 Accepted by: Daniel Benjamin, Committee Chair Scott Baier Bentley Coffey Robert Tollison ABSTRACT This dissertation addresses the broad topic of appropriate metrics, proxies, and estimation methods in environmental economics and international trade research, presented as three separate studies. The first, entitled, “Something in the Water? Testing for Groundwater Quality Information in the Housing Market,” examines how informed real estate markets are with respect to groundwater quality by using a couple of different proxies for groundwater quality in a hedonic framework. This research topic has potentially suffered from imperfect proxies and incomplete information, which I test. In the second, entitled, “Do Economic Integration Agreements Actually Work? Issues in Understanding the Causes and Consequences of the Growth in Regionalism,” I address a topic in international trade that has consistently suffered from endogeneity biases in estimations: the effect of economic integration agreements on bilateral trade flows.

  • On the Problem of Endogenous Unobserved Effects in the Estimation of Gravity Models
    Journal of Economic Integration 19(1), March 2004; 182-191 On the Problem of Endogenous Unobserved Effects in the Estimation of Gravity Models Peter Egger University of Innsbruck Abstract We propose to estimate gravity models by a Hausman and Taylor (1981) 2SLS error components approach. First, this allows to account for the possible correlation of some of the regressors with the unobserved effects, which has been ignored in previous research. Second and in contrast to the Within estimator, one obtains estimates for the time-invariant variables also in a framework with bilateral effects. We show that distance and country size are important sources of correlation. The properly estimated parameter of distance is about twice as high as its biased GLS counterpart and markedly higher than found by others. • JEL Classifications : C33, F14 • Key words : Gravity equation, Panel econometrics I. Introduction Since a couple of years, it is convenient to analyze of bilateral trade flows (and more recently also of multinational sales, FDI, and migration) using panel econometric methods, since simple OLS estimates provide only limited information due to inconsistency and often deviate to a large extent from their panel econometric counterparts. Egger (2000) mentions that the proper econometric representation of a gravity equation includes fixed exporter, importer, and time effects. However, Egger and Pfaffermayr (2002) show that a set-up with time and bilateral effects is even more *Corresponding address: Professor Peter Egger, Departmnent of Economics, University of Innsbruck, Universitaetsstrasse 15, A-6020 Innsbruck, Tel: +43-512-507-7404 E-mail: [email protected] 2004-Center for International Economics, Sejong Institution, All Rights Reserved.
