Capital imports in Eastern Europe: Guarantee or obstacle for economic stability and growth?

Thomas Linne, Silke Tober
Wirtschaft im Wandel, No. 9, 1995
Abstract
Die Erfahrungen zahlreicher Länder Mittel- und Osteuropas zeigen, dass makroökonomische Instabilitäten sowohl von der Struktur der Kapitalimporte als auch vom Saldo der Kapitalbilanz ausgehen können. Durch hohe Nettokapitalimporte geraten die Zentralbanken in einen Zielkonflikt zwischen Wechselkursstabilisierung und Preisniveaustabilisierung.. Zudem bewirken die Nettokapitalimporte tendenziell eine Verschlechterung der Wettbewerbsfähigkeit inländischer Unternehmen. Eine Reduzierung der Kreditaufnahme der Unternehmen und des Staates im Ausland ist daher dringend geboten.

Reshaping the Economy? Local Reallocation Effects of Place-Based Policies

Sarah Fritz, Catherine van der List
CESifo, July 2025
Abstract

We study the effects of place-based policies on aggregate productivity using administrative data on projects co-financed by the EU in Italy linked to balance sheet data. We exploit quasi-experimental variation in funding for a large place-based policy stemming from measurement error in regional GDP estimates. Results show that the policy likely decreases productivity. Decompositions reveal that aggregate declines are driven by reallocation of labor to low-productivity firms. Mechanism analysis using firm-level event studies reveals that negative reallocation effects are caused by high-productivity firms taking up the funds and subsequently becoming more liquidity constrained, leading to slowdowns in employment growth.
