Picking winners or creating them? Revisiting the benefits of FDI in the Czech Republic
We examine whether publicly-traded Czech firms that received foreign direct investment (FDI) before the end of 1995 had higher levels of total factor productivity during 1995-8. Preliminary data analysis reveals that, as restructuring occurred, many Czech firms left the sample during 1995-8 and that the recipients of FDI tended to be larger firms. We show that failing to tackle the…

Auf dem Weg zu einer "entwicklungsfördernden" Aussenhandelspolitik der Schweiz
Die Frage der Beschaffenheit des Marktzugangs für Exporte aus Entwicklungsländern stellt sich heute ungeachtet eines fortschreitenden Liberalisierungsprozesses im Welthandel. Entsprechend der Handelpolitik anderer Industriestaaten gewährt die Schweiz den Entwicklungsländern seit Jahren eine Vorzugsbehandlung, welche vor allem in einem einseitigen Abbau von tarifären Handelshemmnissen…

Optimizing Organizational Structure: Hausdorff Benchmark for Complex Social Systems
The search of optimal structures for social organizations has been an ongoing concern of management science, but reliable answers have not been given. Optimization theory has provided solutions, but these have always addressed very specific organizational problems, not the issue of overall optimality in terms of the fitness of the organization as a whole. In this paper, a new…

An Incumbent Country View on Eastern Enlargement of the EU. Part I: A General Treatment
An eastern enlargement of the EU, from an incumbent country point of view, involves a fiscal burden from extending Union agricultural and cohesion policies to new members, coupled with potential gains as well as adjustment problems deriving from an extended customs union and a larger single market. Enlargement is controversial, because the net effect is unclear, a priori, and will…

We discuss conditions for the underlying distributions of state variables which preserve convexity of value functions in a multistage stochastic program. One- and multi-factor term structure models are estimated based on historical data for the Swiss…

Prerequisites for Private Restraints on Market Access and International Cartels
With the decline of government-imposed trade barriers policymakers have given greater attention to the international distortions created by the practices of private firms, including cartels. We critically evaluate the techniques used in the economic literature to estimate the effects of these private practices, finding them wanting on several grounds. In contrast, many of the…
