Climbing the Coffee Global Value Chain—Three Decades of Trade and Upgrading
Developing countries frequently struggle to generate wealth from trade in agri‐commodities such as coffee, where the end price of a cup of coffee sold in Berlin or New York returns only a fraction of the value to the actual coffee grower. With this in mind, we investigate this phenomenon using unique cross‐border data for 28 years (1991–2018), where coffee is represented in its various formats, from unprocessed ‘green’ coffee beans to the roasted…
Africa’s businesswomen – underfunded or underperforming
While the recent success of Africa’s ‘Lionesses’ – successful female entrepreneurs – is internationally celebrated, less is known about how liquidity can fuel the success of the ‘Lionesses’ and other businesswomen. Using information from a panel of over 800 male- and female-owned businesses in Ghana (ISSER-IGC survey), we capture a measure of underfunding, in addition to data on supplier credit, equity and other finance sources. Our regressions r…
Exports and New Products in China – A Generalised Propensity Score Approach with Firm-to-Firm Spillovers
Underpinning China’s technological advancement are the twin-engines of exports and innovation. To better understand China’s meteoric economic transformation, we explore the extent to which new products are triggered by exports (direct effects) and by exposure to other exporters (indirect effects). Our methodology (generalised propensity score model) tackles two sources of selectivity bias–at the level of the firm and neighbourhood. Given that pro…
Trust-Based Work Time and Innovation
The authors explore whether the introduction of trust-based working hours is related to the subsequent innovation performance of firms. Based on a panel data set of German establishments, the study uses a propensity score matching approach that considers only firms that did not use trust-based work contracts initially. Results show that firms that adopt such contracts tend to be 12 to 15% more likely to improve products and 6 to 7% more likely to…
How Green are Exporters
There is a well‐established theoretical and empirical literature that shows that exporters are more innovative than otherwise equivalent non‐exporters. In this article, we ask whether this is also true when it comes to the effects of adopting greener production techniques. Using an instrumental variables strategy based on UK firm level data, we find robust evidence that exporters are more likely to report their innovation as having a ‘high/very h…
The impact of foreign direct investment on new firm survival in the UK
New Ventures and their Credit Terms
Bank Interest Margins and Business Start‐up Collateral
The paper investigates the relationship between bank interest rate margins and collateral for loans issued to new ventures. The analysis finds a convex U‐shaped relationship. The results indicate that while provision of collateral initially reduces bank exposure to risk (through security, more optimal levels of capital and lower moral hazard among entrepreneurs) that beyond a point, the positive risk‐wealth association gives rise to greater risk …
The Higher Cost of Follow-Up Loans
Spillover effects in long‐haul visitors between two regions
Gooroochurn N. and Hanley A. (2005) Spillover effects in long‐haul visitors between two regions, Regional Studies 39 , 727–739. A new body called Tourism Ireland, funded jointly by the British and Irish Governments, has been set up to promote tourism for the entire island of Ireland. This study investigates whether such an initiative is mutually beneficial for the Republic of Ireland (ROI) and Northern Ireland (NI). It is argued that joint promot…
