Once sustainable, always sustainable? Pro-environmental spillover behaviour: effects of conscious and nonconscious environmental goal pursuit and environmental goal importance. Ghent University
Behavioural science has identified several interventions that increase the likelihood of sustainable choices. For example, putting a vegetarian product on a visible in-store location enhances sales of that product. In this project I look at when and how effects of a behavioural intervention in a specific purchase context spills over to consecutive purchase decisions. I demonstrate that the direction of the spillover effect is critically ...
Democratic spillover of enterprises KU Leuven
Risk assessment of spillover of bumblebee parasites Ghent University
This project aims to assess an risk assessment on the spillover of parasites in bumblebees, as important pollinators in our environment.
The content analysis perspective of sovereign credit ratings and corporate spillover effects KU Leuven
Global knowledge spillovers between market rivals: cross-border internal linkage strategies in R&D, multi-location technology competition, and heterogeneity in IPR policies KU Leuven
An important risk for multinational enterprises (MNEs) performing R&D at a global level is unintended technology diffusion to other firms (knowledge spillovers). One way a MNE can aim to reduce the risk that its knowledge and technologies are misappropriated by others is to adopt an R&D strategy focusing on control through internal linkages across dispersed R&D units. This project addresses three related and important issues. ...
Firm level heterogeneity and the demand and supply side of FDI spillovers Ghent University
This project investigates spillovers from foreign to domestic firms. Three types of characteristics determine the direction and magnitude of spillovers. Therefore positive spillovers are conditional rather than automatic. We consider spillover to depend on U+2018demandU+2019 side characteristics (domestic firmsU+2019 characteristics), U+2018supplyU+2019 side characteristics (foreign subsidiariesU+2019 characteristics), and ...
Firm level heterogeneity and the demand and supply side of FDI spillovers Ghent University
This project investigates spillovers from foreign to domestic firms. Three types of characteristics determine the direction and magnitude of spillovers. Therefore positive spillovers are conditional rather than automatic. We consider spillovers to depend on demand side characteritics (characteristics of domestic firms), supply side characteristics (characteristics of foreign subsidiaries), and ‘environment’ characteristics (industry, country, ...
Sectoral spillovers in the macroeconomy KU Leuven
Macroeconomists are typically concerned with changes in aggregate economic activity. Traditionally, the drivers of these aggregate fluctuations are considered to also be of aggregate nature, such as productivity, aggregate demand or monetary policy shocks. Most of the literature on economic fluctuations outright disregards the possibility of microeconomic shocks to specific sectors or firms to generate relevant aggregate fluctuations. A ...
