“…The first can increase domestic firms' opportunity to learn through exposure to different systems of technologies, management practices and cultural values brought by MNEs; similarly, the structural characteristics of the domestic productive system -in terms, for example, of regional development, sectoral innovation system, etcmay act in favour or against the possibility of MNEs to transfer their technologies. Findlay (1978) and confirmed by several works, such as Wang and Blomstrom (1992), Blomstrom and Wolff (1994), and very recently, Jordaan (2008) and Jabbour and Mucchielli (2007) -argues that the potential for positive spillovers is higher when the technology gap between domestic firms and MNEs is large.…”

The absorptive capacity represents the ability of enterprises to efficiently absorb and internalise knowledge from outside: it represents the link between firms' capabilities to implement new products and the external stock of technological opportunities, such as those spilled-out from Multinational Enterprises (MNEs). In this framework, the present paper aims at testing the absorptive capacity of Italian firms arising from inward Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). Given the peculiar characteristics of the Italian productive system, our analysis will focus on three different dimensions: technology gap between foreign and local enterprises, domestic firm size, and geographical distribution of firms. Our findings suggest that technological gap and firm size matter considerably for the spillover effect. Moreover, spillovers exhibit a subnational dimension, being present only in North-East region of the Peninsula.

“…Theoretically, geography may play a role for the size of foreign-ownership spillovers through two main channels. (3) The first concerns the effects of spatial concentration on local production through knowledge spillovers, labour pooling and network-sharing (see Overman and Puga, 2010, for a discussion of this in the agglomeration economics literature; and Barrios et al, 2006, Jordaan, 2008a, and Mariotti et al, 2010, for studies in relation to foreign firm ownership). According to this, co-location (proximity) allows domestic firms to raise their productivity by exploiting advantages related to the upgrading of workforce skills in the local economy (e.g.…”

The European Union (EU) association framework provides European businesses with an entry advantage into the associated countries by facilitating production links and encouraging institutional convergence. It is believed that this has multiple beneficial effects for the associated countries, including ones related to productivity spillovers accruing to domestic firms. However, no empirical evidence exists to show that the presence of European firms produces larger productivity spillovers in recipient economies compared to firms from other world regions. We examine this question using firm-level data covering 28 transition countries over the period 2002-2009. We estimate the intra-industry productivity effects of foreign ownership and examine how these differ across regional blocks (Central and Eastern Europe, South East Europe and European Neighbourhood Policy), by origin of investor (EU15 versus non-EU15), across geographical scales (national versus regional) and for different types of locations (capital-city regions versus the rest). Our results suggest that investments of EU origin play a distinctive role, helping raise domestic productivity in the associated countries unlike investments from outside the EU. However, this process operates in a spatially selective manner, potentially enhancing regional disparities and spatial imbalances. This assigns a particular responsibility for EU policy to devise interventions that will help redress these problems within its existing association framework.

ÚvodVýskum znalostného prelievania má silný politický i ekonomický význam. Krajina, región či ekonomický subjekt môže cez dovoz zahraničných znalostí zvyšovať svoju produktivitu bez toho, aby vynakladala vysoké výdavky na výskum a vývoj z vlastných zdrojov. Tvorcov národnej politiky pritom zvyčajne zaujíma predovšetkým sumárny efekt zahraničných znalostí na agregátnu produktivitu, ktorý abstrahuje od potenciálne kompenzačných efektov v mikroprostredí. Agregátnou produktivitou sa predovšetkým myslí reziduálna hodnota medzi agregátnym produktom a vstupmi do produkcie -tzv. celková produktivita faktorov (Total Factor Productivity, TFP).V súlade so súčasným stavom výskumu problematiky vyvstávajú tak otázky: Aký rozsiahly (ak nejaký) vplyv majú znalosti naakumulované v zahraničí na domácu produktivitu? Ktorými premennými môžeme tieto znalosti zachytiť? Nakoľko je pre domácu produktivitu významný ľudský kapitál? Akú úlohu zohráva pre lokálnu produktivitu úroveň ľudského kapitálu nachádzajúca sa v geografi ckej blízkosti? Ovplyvňuje vôbec geografi cká blízkosť k oblastiam koncentrácie znalostí a ľudského kapitálu domácu produktivitu?Cieľom tohto článku je zodpovedať tieto otázky, konkrétne preskúmať vplyv interného a externého znalostného a ľudského kapitálu na celkovú produktivitu faktorov v Európskej únii (EÚ), ktorej súčasťou sú Česká i Slovenská republika. V snahe odhaliť vplyv geografi ckej blízkosti, a tým klasterizačné tendencie, ktoré sú na menšom rozsahu štatisticky zreteľnejšie, sme sa rozhodli analyzovať úroveň regionálnu, a nie úroveň štátnu. Dostupnosť dát nás prinútila zostať na úrovni NUTS-2 (Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics -Spoločná nomenklatúra územných jednotiek pre štatistické účely), ohraničiť sledované obdobie na roky 2000-2010 a z analyzovanej vzorky vylúčiť grécke regióny. Vzhľadom na vybrané sledované obdobie sme sa rozhodli rátať so všetkými NUTS-2 regiónmi členských krajín EÚ, ktoré do EÚ vstúpili * Článok prezentuje názory výhradne autora, ktorý nesie plnú zodpovednosť za všetky možné chyby alebo skreslenia.
