Foreign Direct Investment and Quality‐Upgrading Spillovers in Indonesia
This study investigates whether the agglomeration of multinational enterprises (MNEs) contributes to local firms' quality upgrading in developing countries. Product quality is crucial for firm performance in global markets; recent research highlights its importance even for nonexporting firms, as they are indirectly involved in global competition through production networks. Using firm‐product‐level data from the Indonesian manufacturing census, …
Policy preferences for medical access in Japan’s remote aging municipalities
Improved means of transportation play a vital role in accessing medical services, particularly in remote and ageing municipalities. In this study, we identify crucial attributes for improving access to medical services in the Shinhidaka and Urakawa municipalities in Japan. Using a randomised conjoint field experiment, we identify individuals’ preferences regarding the time and means of transportation to hospitals that can provide high-level medic…
Does offshoring raise female employment in a developing country? Evidence from Indonesian manufacturing plants
We investigate the effects of offshoring on female employment in a developing country as a recipient. We utilise unique data on outsourcing revenues from Indonesia's manufacturing plants. After correcting for offshoring's endogeneity through an instrument variable, we find substantial positive effects on the share of female workers, primarily driven by the increase in female workers without adversely affecting male employment. These positive effe…
The Covid-19 pandemic and domestic travel subsidies
The spread of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has significantly reduced tourism demands worldwide. Employing weekly data on tourist flows between Japanese prefectures, we examine the cost-effectiveness of domestic travel subsidies. Our results provide two implications for the literature. First, we identify the underlying mechanism of tourist flows during the pandemic. In contrast to infectious diseases that have only local effects, the CO…
Seasonality and regional productivity in the Spanish accommodation sector
This study quantifies the impact of peak demand and seasonality on regional productivity in the Spanish accommodation sector. We then identify factors affecting seasonal fluctuations and their relative contributions to regional variations in seasonality. The results show that demand for accommodation in the peak season mainly determines productivity. Thus, improving a region's attractiveness as a tourist destination is most effective for tourism-…
Balancing Skilled with Unskilled Migration in an Urbanizing Agricultural Economy
Plants' self-selection, agglomeration economies and regional productivity in Chile
In this study, we assess the relative contribution of plants' self-selection and agglomeration economies to a region's productivity level. We focus on manufacturing plants by region in the Chilean food industry, which is not only a major source of employment and exports but also spatially dispersed. Our estimation of plant-level productivity corrects for possible simultaneity between productivity and conventional inputs and plants' self-selection…
