Abstract Meta‐regression analysis (MRA) can provide objective and comprehensive summaries of economics research. Their use has grown rapidly over the last few decades. To improve transparency to raise quality MRA, meta‐analysis research‐network (MAER‐Net) created below reporting guidelines. Future meta‐analyses in will be expected follow these guidelines or give valid reasons why a must deviate from them.
We investigate whether public support for innovation increases the propensity of SMEs in traditional manufacturing industries to cooperate innovation—in particular, incremental innovation—with other firms and external knowledge providers. Using data from seven EU regions, we find that programmes do not promote cooperation with competitors, marginally customers suppliers strongly These findings suggest that, this case, role policy is systems conforming rather than creating. Innovation can...
The trade effects of exchange rate variability have been an issue in international economics for the past 30 years. contribution this article is to apply meta-regression analysis (MRA) empirical literature. On average, exerts a negative effect on trade. Yet MRA confirms view that result highly conditional, by identifying factors help explain why estimated vary from significantly positive. evidence pronounced heterogeneity findings may be instructive policy: first, establishing average are...
We evaluate the effect of innovation support programs on output by small and medium enterprises in traditional manufacturing industry. This focus is motivated a definition industry that includes capacity for innovation, evidence its continued importance European Union employment. conducted survey seven regions to generate data needed estimate pre-published switching models means copula approach, from which we derived treatment effects wide range outputs. find participants estimated are...
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to provide insight into the contribution that a trans-national education (TNE) programme may make entrepreneurship in terms developing entrepreneurial traits returnee Chinese graduates who have started their own business. Indeed, research question will seek address what TNE Design/methodology/approach underpinning constituted qualitative phase larger study and entrepreneurship. data was generated from 12 in-depth interviews with graduate returnees run...
Purpose The purpose of this study is to generate insight into the effects entrepreneurship education in China by conducting a preliminary scoping enterprising tendency university students studying business. Design/methodology/approach This used self-administered questionnaire based on General Measure Enterprising Tendency v2 (GET2) test measure group Chinese students. Decision trees, using Chi-square automatic interaction detector (CHAID) approach, and multiple regression analyses were...
This article uses survey data to investigate the relationship between citizens' confidence in formal institutions and reliance on informal Bosnia Herzegovina (BiH). We find an endogenous substituting that different institutional structures currently existing two entities BiH are significantly linked respondents' institutions. In addition, perceptions of higher indirect costs a lack their improvement associated with lower greater institutions; minority ethnic groups each region less confident...
There is little evidence regarding the performance impact of open innovation on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), especially across different firm-size categories sectors. Using new survey data from 28 European countries, we specify ordered logit generalized proportional odds models to explore how seven individual external search strategies (knowledge sources) affect SME size While find some consistently positive effects, in particular using customers as an knowledge source, also...
Drawing on a sample of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in traditional manufacturing industries from seven EU regions, this study investigates how cooperation with external organisations affects technological (product process) innovations non-technological (organisational marketing) as well the commercial success product process (i.e., innovative sales). Our empirical strategy takes into account that all four types innovation are potentially complementary. Empirical results suggest...
Using a sample of small and medium-sized enterprises from twenty-eight European countries, this study evaluates the input output additionality national Union (EU) R&D programmes both separately in combination. Accordingly, we contribute to understanding effectiveness innovation policy perspective mix. Empirical results are different for inputs outputs. For inputs, found positive treatment effects EU as well complementary firms supported sources relative only by programmes. outputs, report no...
Since the breakdown of Bretton Woods agreement, trade effect exchange rate variability (ERV) has been contentious. However, neither theoretical nor empirical literature provides unambiguous guidance on ERV. This article applies meta-regression analysis to and finds evidence of: modest publication bias; a range authentic effects that are highly conditional, even with respect sign and, correspondingly, pronounced heterogeneity in reported results. Investigation this reveals results...
This article uses dynamic panel analysis to investigate the relationship between institutional improvement and economic performance in 29 transition countries. The contribution of this paper is two-fold. First, we find that per capita GDP determined by entire history reform under that, conditional on history, adjusts recent changes. Moreover, time-horizon over which measure change matters, with five-year changes showing clearest effects current levels GDP. Secondly, address pronounced...
We investigate the relationship between widening participation performance indicators adopted in UK higher education (HE) and government's objective of increasing overall HE rates. critically assess development monitoring identify weaknesses current from perspective main stakeholders. suggest internal benchmarks by institutions together with extensions to national that could improve their usefulness.
We examine whether the 2002 introduction of progressive beer duty (PBD) in UK has had its desired or predicted effects. The purpose new tax relief was, words then Chancellor Exchequer, to “encourage one group small businesses: nation's brewers”. A dataset been created all breweries United Kingdom from 1988 2008, recording dates their creation, progression, and, where relevant, extinction. find no evidence a change survivorship consequent upon PBD. However, there is some an increase rate...
Abstract In the 1980s, unresponsiveness of trade flows to exchange rate swings inspired models in which sunk costs combination with instability generate hysteresis, meaning that temporary misalignments have a persistent effect on trade. This paper furnishes an empirical complement theoretical literature. First, it describes computerized experiment 100 subjects generated over 1000 decisions market entry and exit under conditions congruent model hysteresis developed by Paul Krugman. Secondly,...
Social capital theory, recent developments in the theory of identity and a small econometric literature all suggest positive attainment effects from faith schooling. To test this hypothesis, authors use unique data set on Flemish secondary school students 1999 repeat Third International Mathematics Science Study to estimate an education production function. The results modest benefits mathematics when schools are influenced by communities but not they trade unions or business groups. models...
