National economies are linked through flows of capital and goods. This book addresses those linkages, analyzes their benefits for economic development, and evaluates a country's opportunities to reap the best possible rewards by influencing the linkages. The book focuses on the role of product characteristics in international economics and their impact on economic development. After an introduction to the topic, it analyzes the influence of product sophistication on growth, and offers alternative means of measuring product characteristics. In turn, the book provides evidence for the impact of foreign equity on the characteristics of the products that firms produce. Moreover, it presents empirical findings that prove that the quality of a country's legal and institutional framework is influenced by said country's predisposition to trade rule-of-law-intensive goods

Das Spektrum des Handelns von Schulleitung und Schulaufsicht als pädagogische Führungskräfte im schulischen Personalmanagement ist vielschichtig, kann mehrebenenanalytisch betrachtet werden, ist direkt und indirekt: Zum einen qualifizieren sich pädagogische Führungskräfte selbst weiter und zum anderen initiieren, begleiten und unterstützen sie die Gewinnung und Professionalisierung von schulischen Akteur*innen bzw. Nachwuchsführungskräften. Ausgerichtet ist schulisches Personalmanagement auf die Sicherung und Weiterentwicklung der Qualität pädagogischer Arbeit. In dieser doppelten Perspektive wird über ein Kooperationsprojekt der Stiftung der Deutschen Wirtschaft (sdw), der Robert Bosch Stiftung (RBS) und des Instituts für Bildungsmanagement und Bildungsökonomie (IBB) der Pädagogischen Hochschule Zug/Schweiz berichtet, das impulsgebend sein könnte für eine schulische Führungskräfteentwicklung als systematischer und kontinuierlicher berufsphasenübergreifender Prozess, der in der Lehrer*innenbildung beginnen sollte.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the development of educational leadership, administration and management (EdLAM) research by identifying thematic strands that hallmark key publications and synthesise major research findings and limitations. Design/methodology/approach This study combines bibliometric and content analysis methods to review 2,347 publications from 15 core EdLAM journals published from 2007 to 2016. Findings The bibliometric analysis identified five EdLAM thematic strands: school leadership for enhancing students' academic achievement and teachers' effectiveness; leadership for educational change, accountability and promoting democratic values; leadership for social justice, equal education and narrowing achievement gaps; principal's instructional leadership for school improvement; and distributed leadership and its impact on organisational climate and teachers' attitudes and stress. The content analysis revealed that the EdLAM research from 2007 to 2016 further developed the following research areas: the dynamics between leaders and teachers in leadership work, the potential risks of distributed leadership and the EdLAM challenges brought by the New Public Management and neoliberalism. Originality/value This study depicts state-of-the-art EdLAM research. It confirms the combination of bibliometric and content analyses as a useful approach for large-scale review studies. Finally, this review suggests future research directions.

AbstractForeign direct investment (FDI) in developing countries is often associated with higher economic growth due to knowledge and technology spillovers to local firms. One way that FDI speeds up growth is by facilitating the manufacturing of more sophisticated products by local firms. So far, there is a lack of firm‐level evidence how the presence of multinational firms affects the product sophistication of firms in a developing country. The aim of this paper is to fill this gap. We compile an extensive firm–product‐level data set of Indian manufacturing firms, which we complement with information on product sophistication and spillovers from FDI. We then explore different channels through which spillovers from multinationals to local Indian firms foster the manufacturing of sophisticated products. We find evidence that spillovers through supplier linkages strongly increase the manufacturing of sophisticated products in India.
