TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the role of geographic factors in explaining the observed distribution dynamics across European regions. And they found that geographic factors are more important than national ones for explaining inequality dynamics.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the magnitude and changing nature of volatility spillovers from Japan and the US to six Pacific-Basin equity markets and constructed a volatility spillover model which allowed the unexpected return of any particular Pacific-basin market be driven by a local idiosyncratic shock, a regional shock from Japan, and a global shock from the US.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the question whether differences in technical efficiency of Mexican plants in part derive from spillover efficiency associated with foreign direct investment and conclude that there is a spillover of technical efficiency.

TL;DR: This paper used firm-level data for the Czech Republic to show that during 1992-96, foreign investment had the predicted positive impact on total factor productivity growth of recipient firms and that the magnitude of the spillover becomes much smaller and loses significance with foreign direct investment alone.
Abstract: This article uses firm-level data for the Czech Republic to show that during 1992-96 foreign investment had the predicted positive impact on total factor productivity growth of recipient firms. This result is robust to corrections for the sample bias that arises because foreign companies tend to invest in firms whose initial productivity is above average. Together, joint ventures and foreign direct investment appear to have a negative spillover effect on firms that do not have foreign partnerships. However, with foreign direct investment alone, the magnitude of the spillover becomes much smaller and loses significance. This result, in conjunction with the fact that joint ventures and foreign direct investment account for a significant share of total output in many industries, suggests that further research is required to determine the extent of knowledge diffusion from firms that have foreign links to those that do not.

TL;DR: The authors reviewed the evidence concerning the relationship between workers' experiences on and off the job and concluded that there is a negative association between work and non-work, for example, the contention that the work situation is likely to be deficient in needfulfillment, at least in some respects, for most workers and that they will compensate for these deficiencies in their choices of leisure and family activities.
Abstract: This paper reviews the evidence concerning the relationship between workers' experiences on and off the job. Of particular interest is the debate over two rival hypotheses: the "spillover" hypothesis and the "compensation" hypothesis. The former argues that workers' experiences on the job carry over into the nonwork arena, and possibly vice versa, such that there develops a similarity in the patterning of work and nonwork life. The latter marshals several arguments for a negative association between work and nonwork, for example, the contention that the work situation is likely to be deficient in needfulfillment, at least in some respects, for most workers and that they will compensate for these deficiencies in their choices of leisure and family activities. Data from relevant studies support the notions of spillover and compensation under different conditions but, overall, offer more evidence of spillover than compensation. Support for spillover, for example, is reflected in the positive correlations bet...
