“…Research related to automotive industry in the former socialist countries, and its transformation through foreign direct investment, has quite important place in literature that measures economic development impulse (Havas, 1997;2000a;2000b;Czaban, Henderson, 1998;Tulder, Ruigrok, 1998;Richet, Bourassa, 2000;Pavlínek 2002a;2002b;Domanski, 2003;Radosevic, Rozeik, 2005). Knowing the importance that automotive industry has on economic development, certain authors focused their research on regional distribution and network creation within national economy (Meyer, 2000;Pavlínek, 2003).…”

Observing the CEE members of the EU (EU10 countries) from a distance, they certainly used to share major structural similarities given their historical legacies, as well as certain 'unifying' effects of their transition to market economy and democracy. Yet, a closer look reveals important elements of diversity in (a) the structure of their national innovation system, (b) the direction of recent structural changes, (c) innovation performance, and (d) patterns of business-academia collaboration. Given this diversity one would assume that fairly different needs are identified in the EU10 countries, necessitating differentiated, 'tailored' policy responses. Yet, these countries follow the same STI policy rationale, namely the market failure argument, which itself can be seen as a unifying force. Actually, this is not unique to the EU10 countries: the science-push model of innovation is still highly influential in the STI policy circles both at the level of the EC and the member states, despite a rich set of research insights stressing the importance of non-R&D types of knowledge in innovation processes.

“…Sadler and Swain (1994) analyze the state of the automotive industry in CEECs after 1989 and describe changes in the structure and allocation of investments resulting from the quest of foreign investors for new markets and lowcost production. Before the investors' influx into this region, the automotive industry in CEECs was under-developed and technologically outdated (Havas, 2000). Countries in Central and Eastern Europe, however, possessed great potential for growth and development due to the skilled but cheap labor force and a substantial and steady rise in car demand (Van Tulder and Ruigrok, 1998).…”

a b s t r a c t JEL classification: F21 J21 J61 J64 Keywords: Labor market Unemployment Employment Foreign direct investmentThis paper investigates the impact of a large and territorially concentrated foreign direct investment (FDI) inflow on local labor market outcomes in the Czech Republic. A conditional difference-in-differences technique is employed for an estimation of the impact and block bootstrapping is used for computing consistent standard errors. The results indicate a positive and statistically as well as economically significant effect of a large investment project on the local unemployment outflow rate, which is driven mainly by increases in the aggregate unemployment exit hazard rates for unemployment durations smaller than nine months. Subsequent to the investment, the unemployment rate decreased by 1.7 percentage points and the employment rate increased by 3.7 percentage points in the host district. However, the impact on long-term unemployed was negligible as the exit hazard rates for durations longer than nine months remain unchanged. Moreover, a simple cost-benefit analysis suggests that investment incentives paid from a state budget would pay off only in a horizon of twelve years.
