| dc.description.abstracteng | Like all economic actors, firms continuously need to adjust to changes of the environment
they are operating in. Since firms do not only produce goods or provide services,
but also act on the demand side of input factors like labor and capital, any policy
change or external shock may not only affect firms directly, but also has an indirect
impact on the whole economy.
This thesis adds to the understanding of these adjustment dynamics in three particular
settings using empirical methods based on micro data from Indonesia. The first chapter
of the thesis presents evidence for productivity drops and input factor adjustments
due to rising temperatures as a result of climate change. In total, the input factor compensation
enables firms to keep their sales levels constant despite rising temperatures.
In the second chapter, this thesis adds to the understanding of foreign direct investment
(FDI) productivity spillovers among manufacturing firms by splitting vertical
spillovers across industries depending on their sectoral distance. The results indicate
that the size of FDI spillovers hinges on whether foreign and domestic firms are direct
competitors, and the ability of local enterprises to absorb new technology from multinational
enterprises. The third chapter shows that the regulation and restriction of FDI
flows directly result in productivity drops among firms through a substitution of more
productive foreign capital with inferior domestic capital. Even though firms are able
to avoid general capital shortages, the findings highlight the tremendous importance
of FDI for the international competitiveness of the local economy. In the forth chapter,
this thesis addresses the effects of the latter FDI regulation on regional dynamics on local
labor markets, finding that a higher regulatory penetration leads to sizable positive
employment spillovers in both the manufacturing and the service sector. In conclusion,
the last two chapters show that policy makers may face a trade-off between negative
productivity effects within firms and employment gains on labor markets when introducing
protectionist policies like foreign capital regulation. | de |
