Over the past decade there were a rising number of firm-level empirical studies investigating direct and indirect effects of multinational enterprises (MNEs) on domestic firms and, more generally, economic development in different host countries. The strong increase in the number of related firm-level studies can be particularly attributable to the substantial progress made in the “New” new trade theory since the beginning of the 21st century on the one hand and to the availability of large-scale firm-level datasets and the development in advanced analytical tools required over the past years on the other hand[…]

Financial market development has its impact on economic development wide beyond national boundaries. Here multinational enterprises (MNEs) play a crucial role. Recent empirical studies carried out by Görg and Kersting (2016) and Donaubauer et al. (2016) found, among others, that:

Well-developed financial markets, either in source or host countries, foster bilateral foreign direct investment. Well-developed financial markets in source countries compensate for poorly developed financial systems […]

A new KCG study (Görg et al., forthcoming) addressing multinational enterprises (MNEs) with production sites in Africa shows that MNEs are indeed able to influence the working and production conditions of their suppliers in Africa, if the MNEs are motivated to do so. For example, production conditions of MNEs are found to be established in a more sustainable way in Africa, if their products were exported to developed countries such as to Europe or the USA, compared to having been exported to less developed countries like China[…]

With the official start of the Kiel Centre for Globalisation (KCG), the Kieler Nachrichten (KN) recently published a report on the research focus and the planned activities of the KCG based on an interview with Prof. Holger Görg. As emphasised by Prof. Görg, over the past decades of globalisation some people have won but others have lost and there have been some undesirable side effects. Thus, the main focus of the KCG is not only to gain more insights into how globalisation actually has worked but also how trade and global division of labour can be arranged in a more sustainable and fairer way in the future[…]
