Effects of Immigration on Intra-Industry Trade: A logit analysis
Faustino, Horácio; Proença, IsabelThis study estimates the effects of the immigration stock, as well as those of immigrants’ characteristics, such as having the same language as that of the host country and the level of qualification or entrepreneurship, on Portuguese intra-industry trade (IIT) by types, controlling for the effects of other socio-economic factors, like economic dimensions, price indexes and distance. In addition to the member-c...
The spatial dimension in FDI spillovers : evidence at the regional level from P...
Crespo, Nuno; Proença, Isabel; Fontoura, Maria PaulaThere are theoretical reasons to expect that benefits to domestic firms from foreign direct investment would be confined to the area where the multinational firm is located and that the benefits depend on the development level of the host region. However, there is a scarcity of empirical studies on FDI’s indirect effects at the regional level, particularly with regard to inter-industry spillovers. This paper is...

Crespo, Nuno; Proença, Isabel; Fontoura, Maria PaulaThere are theoretical reasons to expect that benefits to domestic firms from foreign direct investment would be confined to the area where the multinational firm is located and that the benefits depend on the development level of the host region. However, there is a scarcity of empirical studies on FDI's indirect effects at the regional level, particularly with regard to inter-industry spillovers. This paper is...
Measuring the social recreation per-day net benefit of wildlife amenities of a ...
Mendes, Isabel; Proença, IsabelWe applied count-data travel cost methods to a truncated sample of visitors, to estimate the average CS per each day of visit of an individual, visiting the Peneda-Gerês National Park to enjoy their natural facilities for recreation purposes. As the recreation demand was measured in number of days of stay in the park the behaviour of the dependent variable is very specific. To overcome this situation, we propos...
FDI Spillovers at Regional Level: Evidence from Portugal
Crespo, Nuno; Proença, Isabel; Fontoura, Maria PaulaThis paper aims to establish whether geographical proximity between the locations of multinational firms and domestic firms facilitates the occurrence of FDI spillovers. Using data for Portugal, this hypothesis is clearly confirmed. However, the impact varies according to whether the externalities considered are horizontal or vertical. In the first case, the impact is negative, which may result from the competi...
Trade potential in an enlarged European Union: a recent approach
Fontoura, Maria Paula; Martínez-Galán, Enrique; Proença, IsabelThis paper aims to evaluate the trade potential of manufactured products between countries belonging to the EU in the threshold of its Eastern enlargement. For this purpose we use a Gravity model which is estimated with a Poisson Pseudo-Maximum Likelihood Method. We extend the specification of the gravity model in order to capture bilateral trade specificities between groups of countries of the enlarged EU, all...
Estimating the recreation value of ecosystems by using a travel cost method app...
Mendes, Isabel; Proença, IsabelRecreation is one of the ecosystem's secondary values of a well conserved natural ecosystem, associated with the direct use individuals make of these natural assets. In this paper we define and estimate the total economic recreation value to visitors of a particular natural area, a national park. An on-site individual observation Travel Cost Model, Count Data distributions, and a version of hyperbolic discounti...
Productivity spillovers from multinational corporations in the portuguese case:...
Proença, Isabel; Fontoura, Maria Paula; Crespo, NunoEmpirical evidence on productivity spillovers - a concept that embodies the fact that foreign enterprises own intangible assets which can be transmitted to domestic firms, thus raising their productivity level - is ambiguous. With a panel data set at the firm level for the Portuguese manufacturing industry, we aim to uncover the possibility that the choice of statistical techniques will have profound effects on...
