Sie können zum einen zu einer Erhöhung des industriellen Output des Ziellandes führen und zum anderen als Träger von technologischem Wissen fungieren. Neues Wissen kann den Empfängerländern der ADI durch Spillovereffekte und Technologietransfers ausländischer Tochterunternehmen zufließen. Diese Arbeit soll Antworten auf die Fragen geben, durch welche Mechanismen Spillovereffekte und Technologietransfers ausgelöst werden und wie Entwicklungs- und Schwellenländern diesen Wissenszufluss zur Beschleunigung ihres Industrialisierungsprozesses einsetzen können. Hierfür wird ein Konzept zur Förderung von Spillovereffekten entwickelt. Weiterhin wird ein theoretisches Modell entwickelt, in dem der Technologietransfer ausländischer Exportplattformen erstmals in Abhängigkeit des Anteils der Vorprodukte, die im Gastland nachgefragt werden, untersucht. In den Fallstudien Irland und Malaysia werden die Ergebnisse des theoretischen Modells sowie des entwickelten Konzepts illustriert. N2 - Foreign direct investments (FDI) can have a very important function to accelerate the industrialization process of developing countries and transition economies. On the one hand they can cause an increase of industrial output and on the other, can transfer technology knowledge through FDI. Thus, host countries can profit from new technical knowledge through spillover effects and technology transfers from foreign affiliates. This thesis can give answers to the following questions: What are the mechanisms that trigger spillover effects and technology transfers? How can developing countries and transition economies use this knowledge to accelerate their industrialization process? To answer these questions, a conceptual guideline for the promotion of spillover effects has been developed. Furthermore a theoretical model has been created, which analyses the technology transfer from foreign export platform depending on the fraction of intermediate products sourced in the host country. The case studies of Ireland and Malaysia are used to illustrate the results of the theoretical model and conceptual guidelines.

As both economic (e.g., price effects) and psychological (e.g., moral licensing) mechanisms can stimulate these indirect rebound effects, they have been studied in different fields, including economics, industrial ecology, psychology, and consumer research. Consequently, the literature is highly fragmented and disordered. To integrate the body of knowledge for an interdisciplinary audience, we review and summarize the previous literature, covering the microeconomic quantification of indirect rebounds based on observed expenditure behavior and the psychological processes underlying indirect rebounds. The literature review reveals that economic quantifications and psychological processes of indirect rebound effects have not yet been jointly analyzed. We derive directions for future studies, calling for a holistic research agenda that integrates economic and psychological mechanisms.

BT - On the Inflationary Effects of Military Conflicts T2 - CEPA Discussion Papers N2 - Military conflicts and wars affect a country’s development in various dimensions. Rising inflation rates are a potentially important economic effect associated with conflict. High inflation can undermine investment, weigh on private consumption, and threaten macroeconomic stability. Furthermore, these effects are not necessarily restricted to the locality of the conflict, but can also spill over to other countries. Therefore, to understand how conflict affects the economy and to make a more comprehensive assessment of the costs of armed conflict, it is important to take inflationary effects into account. To disentangle the conflict-inflation-nexus and to quantify this relationship, we conduct a panel analysis for 175 countries over the period 1950–2019. To capture indirect inflationary effects, we construct a distance based spillover index. In general, the results of our analysis confirm a statistically significant positive direct association between conflicts and inflation rates. This finding is robust across various model specifications. Moreover, our results indicate that conflict induced inflation is not solely driven by increasing money supply. Furthermore, we document a statistically significant positive indirect association between conflicts and inflation rates in uninvolved countries.
