TL;DR: This paper found that Wal-Mart entry increases retail employment by 100 jobs in the year of entry and half of this gain disappears over the next five years as other retail establishments exit and contract, leaving a long-run statistically significant net gain of 50 jobs.
Abstract: This paper estimates the effect of Wal-Mart expansion on retail employment at the county level. Using an instrumental variables approach to correct for both measurement error in entry dates and endogeneity of the timing of entry, I find that Wal-Mart entry increases retail employment by 100 jobs in the year of entry. Half of this gain disappears over the next five years as other retail establishments exit and contract, leaving a long-run statistically significant net gain of 50 jobs. Wholesale employment declines by approximately 20 jobs due to Wal-Mart's vertical integration. No spillover effect is detected in retail sectors in which Wal-Mart does not compete directly, suggesting Wal-Mart does not create agglomeration economies in retail trade at the county level.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a new dataset on imports of technology and total factor productivity (TFP) over more than a century for the OECD countries, and tested for international technological transmission through trade.
Abstract: Using a new dataset on imports of technology and total factor productivity (TFP) over more than a century for the OECD countries, this paper tests for international technological transmission through trade. The empirical estimates suggest that imports of knowledge have been responsible for an almost 200% increase in TFP over the past century, but that the spillover effect has been highly unevenly distributed across countries, but has contributed to TFP convergence among the OECD countries.

TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of sovereign credit rating change announcements on the CDS spreads of the event countries and their spillover effects on other emerging economies' CDS premiums is examined.
Abstract: This paper examines the impact of sovereign credit rating change announcements on the CDS spreads of the event countries, and their spillover effects on other emerging economies' CDS premiums. In contrast to previous work, we find that positive events have a more consistent impact on sovereign CDS markets in the short period surrounding the event, and are more likely to spill over to other emerging markets, whereas negative events have a higher probability of being predicted by the CDS premium. The transmission mechanisms for positive events are the common creditor and competition in trade markets.

TL;DR: This article examined the nature and predictors of the spillover from non-work domains to work and found that domain involvement appeared to enhance both positive and negative sides of spillover, whereas domain satisfaction enhanced the positive side and reduced the negative.
Abstract: This study examined the nature and predictors of the spillover from nonwork domains to work. A sample of 110 men and women from a variety of business settings indicated how parenting, community work, and recreation affected work. They agreed more strongly with statements about positive nonwork-to-work spillover than with those about the negative side. Agreement with the statements was related to the kind of nonwork domain, domain qualities, and the sex of the individual. in general, domain involvement appeared to enhance both positive and negative sides of spillover, whereas domain satisfaction enhanced the positive hut reduced the negative. Surprisingly, women disagreed more strongly with statements about negative spillover than did men. These perceptions challenge the common view of domain relationships being conflict ridden and invite further attention to positive spillover, the ignored side of spillover.

TL;DR: The authors presented several new methods for measuring inter-sectorsal knowledge spillovers, and applied these methods in an analysis of productivity growth in manufacturing for a cross-country, cross-sectional sample for the 1980s.
Abstract: This paper presents several new methods for measuring intersectoral knowledge spillovers, and applies these methods in an analysis of productivity growth in manufacturing for a cross-country, cross-sectional sample for the 1980s. It is argued that existing methods of measuring such intersectoral knowledge spillovers are mostly aimed at measuring so-called crent spillovers'. The methods developed here are aimed at measuring knowledge spillovers—an additional aspect of the spillover process. The empirical analysis shows that there are indeed differences between these two types of spillover measure.
