PRAETORIUS Sophie (Science Po) : Collaboration in Technology and Multinational Production
Abstract
This paper studies how inter-firm collaboration in technology relates to global production choices. Building a structural multinational production model that incorporates technology choices and allows for collaboration when choosing the optimal assembly location for a given variety that is sold in a specific destination market, I find that both technology choice and sharing of platforms as input technology have important effects on the cost, and, thus, the expected profits of firms. Conditional on technology, a firm’s cost of serving a market increases by 1% compared to a scenario where firm choices are agnostic to input technology. On the other hand, allowing for collaboration reduces their cost by 4%. These effects propagate through the firm’s entry choices and, thus, shape the global production landscape

ANDRIEU Elodie (PSE) : Multi-establishment Firm Structure, Subsidies and Spillovers
John Morrow
Abstract
How do firms diffuse resources, and does this result in spillovers far from headquarters? We show subsidies induce French firms to hire new workers, mainly in new establishments and often in new commuting zones, with little evidence of reallocation. The most hiring responsive occupations are techies and support workers in line with R&D targeting. We estimate a subsidy employment spillover elasticity of .11 at the commuting zone level within industry, but weak effects in the commuting zone. Dispersed industries have half this elasticity and concentrated industries twice this elasticity. While subsidies are awarded to headquarters in advanced areas, firms redistribute effects more broadly.
