The Role of Firms in Wage Inequality Policy Lessons from a Large Scale Cross-Country Study
Even though firms play a key role in shaping wages, wage inequality and the gender wage gap, firms have so far only featured to a limited extent in the policy debates around these issues. The evidence in this volume shows that around one third of overall wage inequality can be explained by gaps in pay between firms rather than differences in the level and returns to workers’ skills.
Postindustrial East Asian Cities
Drawing on a wide range of literature and on interviews with firms, this book explores issues of economic growth with a focus on six East Asian cities: Bangkok, Beijing, Seoul, Shanghai, Singapore, and Tokyo. It suggests how policies and institutions can induce and furnish an urban environment that supports innovative activities. A valuable resource for researchers, urban planners, urban geographers, and policy makers interested in East Asia.

Does Distance Matter in Spillover?
Our aim in this paper is twofold: to find whether FDI causes horizontal or vertical productivity spillovers to domestically-owned Hungarian manufacturing firms, and to see if distance matters in spillovers. For this exercise we use a large panel of Hungarian firms and different panel models. Consistently with previous research, at the country level, we find positive vertical spillovers but no evidence of positive horizontal spillovers. By taking distance into consideration, however, we find positive horizontal spillovers for domestic firms close to foreign-owned firms. By constructing spillover measures weighted by distance, we find similar patterns. Our results underline the importance of labour market rigidity and the local nature of knowledge in the case of horizontal spillovers.

As Causas do Atraso Português
«Porque é Portugal hoje um país rico a nível mundial, mas pobre no contexto europeu? Quais são as causas e o contexto histórico do nosso atraso? Como chegámos aqui, e o que pode ser feito para melhorarmos a nossa situação? São estas as perguntas a que procuro responder neste livro. Quase todas as análises ao estado do país feitas na praça pública pecam por miopia: como desconhecem a profundidade histórica do atraso, fazem erros sistemáticos e anunciam diagnósticos inúteis, quando não prejudiciais. Quem discursa tem também frequentemente um marcado enviesamento político e não declara os seus conflitos de interesse. [...] No entanto, para compreendermos bem o presente e os futuros possíveis, temos de começar por compreender o nosso passado. Para que um futuro melhor seja possível, temos de refletir de forma ponderada sobre os fatores que explicam – e os que não explicam – o atraso do país. Este livro tem esse objetivo.»
