TL;DR: The World Input-Output Database (WIB) as mentioned in this paper was developed to analyse the effects of globalization on trade patterns, environmental pressures and socio-economic development across a wide set of countries.
Abstract: The World Input-Output Database has been developed to analyse the effects of globalization on trade patterns, environmental pressures and socio-economic development across a wide set of countries. The database covers 27 EU countries and 13 other major countries in the world for the period from 1995 to 2009. It is downloadable at http://www.wiod.org/database/index.htm. Length: 74 pages

TL;DR: The European Innovation Scoreboard (EIS) as mentioned in this paper has established itself as probably the most widely watched benchmarking tool in the discussion of European technology policy and has been used to compare their respective performance through the application of benchmarking and scoreboard tools.
Abstract: For quite some time, European countries have felt the need to compare their respective performances through the application of benchmarking and scoreboard tools, the findings of which are typically processed into country rankings, which in turn guarantee considerable publicity in the media and the interested public. Within the scope of such activities, the European Innovation Scoreboard (EIS) has established itself as probably the most widely watched benchmarking tool in the discussion of European technology policy. In this paper we consider its current status and discuss some of the strengths and weaknesses of the EIS indicators. We show that there is a process of convergence in innovation performance in Europe but that the possibilities of short-term influences by policy on the variables measured by the EIS are limited. Given the quality and availability of the data, we argue that the publishing cycle should be extended to two years. Copyright , Beech Tree Publishing.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the leverage effect of public subsidies to private RD 1 additional euro of funding induces firms to contribute an additional 0,40 of their own money, and found that very small and large firms seem to exhibit higher leverage, small and medium-sized firms smaller leverage.
Abstract: In this paper we study the question of the leverage effect of public subsidies to private RD 1 additional euro of funding induces firms to contribute an additional 0,40 of their own money. Both very small and large firms seem to exhibit higher leverage, small and medium-sized firms smaller leverage. Additionally, the leverage estimates for firms that perform R&D only occasionally are higher than for regular R&D performers.

TL;DR: The authors investigated the causes of deindustrialization and potential for re-industrialization using trade-linked input-output data from the World Wide Occupational Development Organization (WIOD) and found that trade-linkage between countries has a limited impact via the direct trade effect on value added.
Abstract: We investigate the causes of de-industrialization and potential for re-industrialization using trade-linked input–output data from WIOD. By introducing a new global value chain measure of comparative advantage, we relate a sector's share in domestic final demand to that in production and separate the direct effect of trade on its income share. This method identifies the declining share of manufacturing value added in domestic final expenditures to be the main cause of de-industrialization. Differences in comparative advantage between countries do matter, especially in the case of employment shares, but have a limited impact via the direct trade effect on value added. The findings point to a peculiar paradox of industrial policy: precisely when it is successful in raising competitiveness and hence productivity growth of manufacturing, it also furthers the global decline of relative prices in manufacturing. In contrast to the national objectives of re-industrialization, effective industrial policies...

TL;DR: In this article, an attempt to identify additionality in the projects carried out in the European Union's 5th Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development (FP5) in the context of the recent five-year assessment of FP5 is described.
Abstract: This paper describes an attempt to identify additionality in the projects carried out in the European Union's 5th Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development (FP5) in the context of the recent five-year assessment of FP5. It briefly discusses the various meanings of the concept of additionality and the results of a survey among the participants in FP5. Main findings indicated substantial input and behavioural additionality for a majority of participants. On the other hand, the portfolio of projects included a large number of projects with low risk and of a comparably small size. Design of future FPs should take this into account.

TL;DR: This article investigated whether income inequality affects subsequent growth in a cross-country sample for 1965-90, using the models of Barro (1997), Bleaney and Nishiyama (2002) and Sachs and Warner (1997) with negative results.
Abstract: We investigate whether income inequality affects subsequent growth in a cross-country sample for 1965-90, using the models of Barro (1997), Bleaney and Nishiyama (2002) and Sachs and Warner (1997), with negative results. We then investigate the evolution of income inequality over the same period and its correlation with growth. The dominating feature is inequality convergence across countries. This convergence has been significantly faster amongst developed countries. Growth does not appear to influence the evolution of inequality over time. Outline

TL;DR: The Penn World Table (PWT) as mentioned in this paper has been used to compare real GDP comparisons across countries and over time, and the PWT version 8 will expand on previous versions of PWT in three respects.
Abstract: We describe the theory and practice of real GDP comparisons across countries and over time. Effective with version 8, the Penn World Table (PWT) will be taken over by the University of California, Davis and the University of Groningen, with continued input from Alan Heston at the University of Pennsylvania. Version 8 will expand on previous versions of PWT in three respects. First, it will distinguish real GDP on the expenditure side from real GDP on the output side, which differ by the terms of trade faced by countries. Second, it will distinguish growth rates of GDP based on national accounts data from growth rates that are benchmarked in multiple years to cross-country price data. Third, data on capital stocks will be reintroduced. Some illustrative results from PWT version 8 are discussed, including new results that show how the Penn effect is not emergent but a stable relationship over time.

TL;DR: The World Input-Output Database (WIOD) as mentioned in this paper contains annual time-series of world input-output tables and factor requirements covering the period from 1995 to 2011, and illustrates its usefulness by analyzing the geographical and factorial distribution of value added in global automotive production.
Abstract: This article provides guidance to prudent use of the World Input–Output Database (WIOD) in analyses of international trade. The WIOD contains annual time-series of world input–output tables and factor requirements covering the period from 1995 to 2011. Underlying concepts, construction methods and data sources are introduced, pointing out particular strengths and weaknesses. We illustrate its usefulness by analyzing the geographical and factorial distribution of value added in global automotive production and show increasing fragmentation, both within and across regions. Possible improvements and extensions to the data are discussed.

Abstract: Thank you very much for reading input output analysis foundations and extensions. As you may know, people have search hundreds times for their chosen readings like this input output analysis foundations and extensions, but end up in infectious downloads. Rather than reading a good book with a cup of coffee in the afternoon, instead they are facing with some malicious virus inside their desktop computer.

TL;DR: The authors proposed a framework for gross exports accounting that breaks up a country's gross exports into various value-added components by source and additional double counted terms, identifying which parts of the official trade data are double counted and the sources of the double counting.
Abstract: This paper proposes a framework for gross exports accounting that breaks up a country's gross exports into various value-added components by source and additional double counted terms. By identifying which parts of the official trade data are double counted and the sources of the double counting, it bridges official trade (in gross value terms) and national accounts statistics (in value added terms). Our parsimonious framework integrates all previous measures of vertical specialization and value-added trade in the literature into a unified framework. To illustrate the potential of such a method, we present a number of applications including re-computing revealed comparative advantages and the magnifying impact of multi-stage production on trade costs.
