Unveiling the Antecedents of International Diversification: An Agency Theory Approach
2014
While various studies have developed hypotheses about the antecedents of international diversification drawing mainly on the resource-based view, the behavioral theory of the firm, and the transaction costs literature, we advance our understanding by investigating the explanatory power of agency costs of free cash flow arguments. Using a sample panel of 167 Italian firms longitudinally evaluated during the 1980-2010 period, this study tests whether the firm’s choice to spread operations in multiple foreign countries is conditioned by excess of free cash flow and debt, especially in firm-contexts where agency problems are exacerbated by managers or large shareholders’ opportunism. We find th…
The effect of agglomeration economies and geography on the survival of accommodation businesses in Sicily
2021
The study explores the geographical pattern of the accommodation industry in the Italian insular region of Sicily, focusing on the determinants of the risk of market exit. We adopt a standard framework of business survival analysis where agglomeration economies play an important role. We then extend the analysis by considering the role of geography to explore whether the risk of market exit depends on nearness to desirable amenities. The geography is here measured by the distance from the coast and the altitude of the place where the firm is located. When we look at the entire population of accommodation firms that started between 2010 and 2014, we find evidence that the risk of failure inc…
Trade is not necessary for agglomeration to arise
2003
We develop a spatial general equilibrium model in which the absence of trade is an endogenous outcome and we show that trade is not a necessarycondition for agglomeration to arise. More precisely, extending the modeldeveloped by Ottaviano et al. [13], we show that equilibria without tradediffer significantly from those obtained in the presence of trade. Somewhatsurprisingly, equilibrium structures without trade are richer than those withtrade, since partial agglomeration becomes a feasible outcome. Equilibrianow depend on the ratio of mobile to immobile factors and an increase in thatratio triggers a process of spatial agglomeration.
Influence économique et concurrence au sein d'une agglomération
1986
La définition d'un indicateur de centralité do chaque zone d'une agglomération peut reposer sur l'utilisation de mesures d'accessibilité (type potentiel) et d'influence des zones considérées. (FUSTIER, GARLANDIERX ROUGET. - 1985). L'indicateur d'influence brute est présentement corrigé pour tenir compte de la concurrence interzones dans l'espace urbain. La définition et les propriétés générales dë l'indicateur d'influence effective sont présentées dans une première partie et illustrées sur un exemple numérique. Une seconde partie est consacrée à la présentation des résultats d'une application au cas de l'agglomération dijonnaise. Plusieurs simulations relatives à diverses répartitions des f…
