Factores de localización regional en las inversiones industriales
2008
En este trabajo se analiza la localización regional de la inversión industrial en España en el periodo 1964-2000, evaluando tanto la influencia de factores clásicos de demanda y coste como economías de aglomeración, y el papel desempeñado por las infraestructuras de transporte además del capital humano. Los resultados muestran que son el capital humano y las diferencias salariales los factores que más han contribuido a modificar la localización y el desplazamiento de la inversión hacia nuevos núcleos industriales, mientras que las infraestructuras de transporte y el crecimiento de los salarios han contribuido también a intensificar la utilización de capital sobre todo en las regiones con ma…
Investment Modelling at the Euro Area Level
2014
The aim of this research is to model the investment function at the level of the Euro zone. To achieve this main objective, we use and implement the structural equation modeling procedure for empirical analysis. Using this technique, the causal relationships established between investment and influencing factors are estimated and tested. Also, in the process of modeling structural equations, we examine empirical data sets related to the Euro area’s Member States.
A New Perspective of Investment Modelling at the European Union Level
2015
The study that represents the subject of this paper follows the analysis of the investment function and the influencing factors at the European Union level. The research has, as a starting point, the hypothesis that there is a negative relationship between the European Union investments and tax rates. For verifying this hypothesis, the structural equation modeling is used (SEM), and the same technique is applied in the second part of the research, which will track the development of the investments’ model at the European Union level. The results will highlight the relationships that are established between specific variables that characterize the volume of investments.
A New Approach of Investment for the Future Economic Policies
2013
The investment takes the form of sums of money spent for the acquisition of capital goods, changes in business inventories, and the purchases of new residential housing that are not currently consumed, but will be used in the future for the growth of the wealth. The work covered by this study aims to identify the model that presents, in the best possible way, the method of investment’s calculation and to determine the factors of influence. In the first part, the investment is analyzed as a linear function dependent on the interest rate; and the second part implies a new model for determining long-term investments.
ICT demand behaviour: An international comparison
2009
This study aims to provide some empirical explanations for the gaps in ICT diffusion between industrialized countries, especially European countries vis-à-vis the United States. The panel data cover eleven OECD countries: Austria, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States. These annual macroeconomic data span the 1981-2005 period.The analysis provides some original results: (i) the impact on ICT diffusion of the level of education and market rigidities has changed over time. The correlation of ICT diffusion, positive with the level of education and negative with market rigidities, increased over time (in absolute terms)…
